The Cynic Says……

Well, I guess that’s all relative but I’ve definitely been working more than a normal person would. I worked 55 hrs last week and it looks as though I’m on pace to do it yet again. People have been calling out sick or whatever more often than ever lately and I’m not sure what the deal is. Either way, last Monday I worked midnight til 9:45am then came back in about 6 and worked til 9:45am again. Then I worked 28 hours in the following days to total right at 55 hrs. This week, same deal. Midnight til 10am, then back at work at 5:15pm and I have to work til at least 8am, though I’ll end up staying longer. At the rate I’m going, I’ll actually bring home $1000 this paycheck. Thankfully the only major bill I have to pay is my cellphone. Hopefully I don’t have any other random unexpected expenses pop up this check. If not, I’m thinking I might buy a used PS2 for shits & giggles. They seem to be pretty cheap on ebay from what I can tell. I’d really like to find a slimline one since they’re a ton smaller and better looking… plus they include the network adapter. Sounds like a plan to me.

Outside of that, I’m thinking I’m going to start saving to build a nice commuter bike so I don’t have to keep beating the shit out of my $2500 Fuji. I’ve been looking at flat-bar road bikes that I can put a rack and panniers on… fatter tires would be a plus as well. I’ve already got the bike, rack and panniers all picked out for the most part. Looks like I’m going to be shelling out about $1000 yet again *sigh*. However, I think this bike should stand up to the beating I give it a whole lot better than the Fuji road bike and be quite a bit lighter than the mountain bike I have. We’ll see how this pans out, though.
