So I stalled on writing this for a few days, but here it is. I am unemployed once again. So I now have 2 months to find a job. During this time I will also keep busy with some extra time at the bike shop. So the search begins once again. This time I promise to do a better job of looking for opportunities in Austin! So enough about that, it is what it is....
So today I ran across yet another reason that Austin is better than every where else. There is a lake by my house with a 2 mile running trail around it. So I headed over there this morning for a run with Ginger. We start our way around the path and then someone stops me and says "You're not allowed to have dogs here....there are signs everywhere". I apologized and said I hadn't seen any of the signs and didn't know and she continued to give me a nasty look, so Ginger and I turned around. No way was I going to put Ginger back in the car so we headed across the street and ran through the neighborhood. Unfortunately this was a small neighborhood area so I couldn't get very far, I then noticed a park with a trail and thought we could continue the run there. But there was another sign that said "No Dogs"! What good are running trails if you can't take your dog??? And what possible reason do they have for not allowing dogs at the lake path. So stupid. Anyway, that was my general annoyance for the day. So I guess I will have to stick with my neighborhood or the forest preserve for running with Ginger.
Today has been a very lazy day of reading mostly, and soon it will be time for dinner and a movie. Tomorrow morning will be an early wake up to get to the gym for a swim and then work at the bike shop. Ooh which reminds me, I need to wash my work shirt! :)
Later Gators....

Sorry to hear about the job fix, that really does suck. If it's any consolation I'll stop flying United (partially due to the delays, but that's O'Hares fault). I know living in the burbs can suck, and anywhere else on earth can seem better than it. Trust me, Schaumburg? For a year? I wanted to throw myself off a cliff, except this is the midwest which has a severe lack of cliffs. Maybe give the city a try. Hell, there's a beach just for dogs. It's awesome, we take my girlfriends dog there ALL the time, he loves it!
Sorry to hear you are looking once again...Maybe this time it will be your dream job that comes along. Austin is great come visit anytime!
Been wondering about you - but of course, it took me this long to actually check your blog and see what's up... hope the job search is going well???! The right job is out there for you - and hopefully it is in Austin!! now that you know what you're missing by not being here, you'll appreciate it SO MUCH MORE than you did before!! Hope to see you soon!
