Woke a few minutes before my alarm. At 3:48. What an ungodly hour.
Time to head off to the airport.

another day on the short bus. Going fly fishing Saturday, mt biking on Sunday, good eats in between.
details man, details!hate my office.
have you not been paying attention this week?
yep...sounded like there were new developments/uncomfortable conversations to be had...
i'm waiting to hear back from HR
Day off. Leaving shortly to Glenwood Springs for a long weekend. Wifey has never been past Vail, so she has no idea what Glenwood Canyon looks like. I'm waiting for her mind to blow.
Going to Aspen Sunday afternoon and was hoping to go to Maroon Bells for pictures. Apparently I misread the schedule, as the road is closed from 8am to 5pm. I need to figure out how we are going to get there...

The road is not closed at this time of year to vehicular traffic. They run shuttle buses between 8am and 5pm during the summer/peak foliage times but we are well beyond that at this point. I was just up there less than a month ago and happily drove all the way to the upper parking lot.
Every company big enough to have a dedicated HR department inherently sucks.
Vail Pass, right now. Take your time (and maybe a snack) for the drive.
Have a good time!
This should not be the case in November. Usually this schedule only goes summer -> leaf-peeping season.
That said... you should call the Ranger District out there... it's *possible* the road is closed for the season because of snow by now.
JBP, refresh my memory: Which van are we talking about here? I recall two Fits, one replacing the other...?
I reined in the beard to 1/2" today. It was getting quite unruly at about 3x that.
Had a little get together with some friends last night. We played Fibbage....anyone played before? I smashed it!
women should excel at that game.
Froze pretty hard here last night. 1/4 inch ice in the dog dish, hard frost on everything. Went running up the creek, the leaves are falling off the trees so fast and hard that you can hear them.
Everyone needs to experience that drive at least once. Quite the testament to mans engineering prowess.

Forester has snows on already.
Closing next weekend.
haha, well, I was only good at getting the answers right, not getting people to pick my lies
Good morning, friends. 4 mile jog before work this morning with a swim on the post-work schedule. Speaking of weather, it was 58 degrees and humid for my run this morning. On November 6. What in the hell?
I've got a 5K trail race tomorrow. Age group winners get five pound apple pies and I snagged one last year. One of my asshole friends and fellow 43 year olds registered for tomorrow's race. He'll be stiff competition. We are pretty much runner equals. The last race we did together I beat him by three seconds. He's been killing it with his training lately though and won't want to lose to me again. Heh...friendly but serious competitors we are.

invite him over and slip him some exlax
Been feeling crappy all week. Working from home today is much better.
We have a big open office. So peaceful being home with nobody around me. Getting a lot of work done.

hate my office.
If any of you witnessed the "Morning Motivational" (or MoMo if you are cool), you would die. Each morning some poor sap has to do a 10-20 "something" to encourage team building and sense of office community. I am not required to go as a contractor, but I have gone to the ones put on by folks in my group. It's like a randomized WalMart chant type thing that is painful to witness 9/10 times.
I worked at Walmart during my 2nd or 3rd semester at college and had to join in on those chants. I only worked weekends and started at 5am. They chanted at 5:10am.
I didn't even quit, I just stopped going. FTS.
The best part was when they started leaving voicemails a month of two after not showing up, asking if I really intended on leaving.

Sure you COULD buy one, but those aren't made with the sweet taste of victory and the crushed hopes and dreams of other runners.Ummm... you can just BUY 5lb apple pies.
It's still no reason to run.
this place is real slow today. i demand better entertainment.
