Cross that one off my list!

I finally got paid for 5 months I worked and had been waiting for since Feb. I have to say the job I have (consultant) is flexible and good time wise (if I would be a better time manager I would be just loving it) but you never know when they will just pull the rug out.

I worked for a company for 8 years out west that decided to head to Mexico. I know all about the lay off feeling. Half the company was laid off two years before closing. It was us 'lucky' ones that were left behind to pack everything up. Looking back those were some of my best mountain biking years because there were many days we had nothing to do but...well ...mtn bike!
