DebW - it's a Federal job. I'm already a fed, so it's a lateral move to a much better location. All of our funds are appropriated by Congress. We have no grant pressure. One of the benefits of working for the gov't.
Snap - did you hear anything yet about your job?

Whoa! Cosmic flat tire!
I was just fondling my bike and telling her what a good job she did on the Danskin, and I saw that she has a FLAT TIRE (front). I've not gotten a flat tire on this bike yet, and the last time I rode it was in the tri! So, that's when I must've punctured! EEEEP! But she held together until safely home, what a babe of a commutermobile. (I gave her a hug and a kiss)
Now I'll get to practice changing tubes, and see if I can find the slow leak and patch this tube.
I feel butch already...

Should we ask what parts of the bike you hugged and kissed? Originally Posted by KnottedYet

Maybe it's the fever, but I'm watching Animal House for the 108th time and am laughing my arse off.
Some of those cookies would be good right about now....."Only the meek get pinched, the bold survive"

Thanks CWR. I used it as an excuse to sit around all day, read TE, and watch movies. Meds are on their way from the mail-order med fairies.
I didn't, however, think to bake cookies. Mmmmm. goo."Only the meek get pinched, the bold survive"

Why is it that I can't eat peanutbutter without rubbing some into my clothes? I had apple and pb for afternoon snack. The best idea ever was to drop off a 28 oz jar of pb at work 4 weeks ago, but now it is almost gone. I haven't driven to work since last Tuesday, so my work clothes aren't real fresh any more. But when I bike, the choice is between carrying fresh clothes or carrying fresh FOOD, and I pick FOOD every time.

maybe you can mail yourself clean clothes and peanut butter. that way you don't have to worry about carrying them

beta, how could you not laugh at Animal House???
I treated myself to something yesterday, and since it wasn't bike or tri related dh didn't even give me a hard time about it. In fact, since it kind of helps him, he was downright encouraging. No, no, not lingerie (although he is pretty encouraging when I buy that as well). I bought a corkscrew. I have been using the same corkscrew that some liquor company rep gave me when I was a waitress for like 20 years. It broke recently. Personally, I think dh did it, since he has never been great with a waiters corkscrew, but he denies it. I have been lusting after a languiole corkscrew forever, but since I had a perfectly good one it just seemed a waste. Yeah, it is a waste, but beautiful and functional too.
