JUST ANOTHER MANIC HUMPDAY


TAKE OUT THE TRASH!

So I woke up to the sound of our garbage truck. OH Fu**! I jumped out of bed, already late for work, grabbed the trash cans and 3 bags of Sundays yard work and ran to the street. After making the 3 trip ordeal, I realized that I had some old coffee table and a small dinning room set from grandmas that needed to be tossed into the heap as well. Again, rushing to beat the garbage truck which was 2 houses down at this point. phewww. got it done...

DISTURBING THE PEACE...

... @ work. Yep. Mr. Elmer Fud (not just because he fires his gun all the time) was yelling like the biaaatch he is at the PRESIDENT and then the CFO! Seems like one of our clients was sent to collection not necessarily because they continuously failed to remit payments, but because of failure to pic up their phone or answer our emails/letters on many occasions. This would now translate into no commission awarded to Elmer because of the est. 25% loss our company would take due to the collection process. I understand his concerns with this situation however was not pleased with the way he presented them.

two thumbs down for Elmer.... boooo.

WATCH OUT!

A friend called me just as I was stepping out for lunch. She blurted out Domenicos! I agreed since I had not been to this restaurant in some time. So we sat down and ordered our lemonade, antipasto salad and hoagie type (drawing a blank???) sandwich. The service was typical in its fast and reliable service. We crammed it down in 20 min and we were off. Just as we rounded the last corner before the entrance to my workplace, I saw this car shoot out from the driveway. All I could spit out was waaa, of the watch out for that car statement I intended to shout out, before she made some quick evasive action to get us out of that close call.

CIOCCOLATO AL LATTE CON RIPIENO MANDORLATO

Our new bigshot VP of Gas Turbine Division stopped by and gave me a GIANDOR from the Chocolat Suisse Depuis. I'll let you know how it tastes.

btw: weird music on the chocolatfrey.ch site???

Happy Hump Day! (mystery link)

240SX PROJECT UPDATE:




entry later tonight...



here are some pics for now.







I LOST IT @ THE ROSE BOWL


A friend called me last night asking if I wanted to go on a walk. I replied with how about the Rose Bowl? She agreed and not even 5 min later arrived in my driveway. I rushed to change up into some shorts t-shirt and my asics and grabbed my black billfold (I think), phone and keys on the way out. We made the 10 min drive to the Rose Bowl with no 7-11 stops on the way thanks to bottled "Make Your Mouth Water" DASANI waiting to be consumed in my garage. We drove into the south parking lot near the park and began our walk. The pedestrian/bicyclist traffic was low around the typically congested course that looped around the stadium. 10 min into our walk, I received a call and pulled the phone out from the lower pocket without checking to see if my wallet was still in the pocket. We continued our walk with my phone in hand and soon got back to the car. As soon as I walk back into the house, I realized I had not seen my wallet for some time. I checked my two docking station, the kitchen counter and my dresser, and no luck. It was not to be found anywhere. We decided to get back in the car and go back to the trail in hopes to find the black billfold. Again. No luck. It's one been one day since I lost my wallet and I feel like crap. I think its time to report missing cards now...

Golden Handshake

(Nice, Lee Raymond!)
A clause in an executive employment contract that provides the executive with a significant severance package in the case that the executive loses their job through firing, restructuring, or even scheduled retirement. This can be in the form of cash, equity, and other benefits, and is often accompanied by an accelerated vesting of stock options.

Typically, "golden handshakes" are offered only to high-ranking executives by major corporations and may entail a value measured in millions of dollars. Golden handshakes are given to offset the risk inherent in taking the new job, since high-ranking executives have a high likelihood of being fired and since a company requiring an outsider to come in at such a high level may be in a precarious financial position.

Missing Rider In Monrovia Canyon

Walking into work this morning, a co-worker & fellow bike rider shared some sad news with me. It seems that a MTB rider went up into the local Monrovia Canyon and didn’t make it back down.

Monrovia Canyon is our backyard play area at lunch. 2 co-workers and myself typically ride this spot 8 to 10 times a month. It's trails on the face of the mountain offer beginner to intermediate levels of riding skills. A typical ride to the first peak is about 2.5 hours (riding time) of semi-maintained dirt switchbacks. Runners, light hikers, and MTBikers commonly occupy this section of the mountain with very light traffic during any time of the day. Beyond the first peak are a few splits leading across the ridge into some great single track riding and this is where I believe he ventured into. These tracks are not maintained and can be awesome yet grueling rides especially after these storms we have had.

Wildlife may also be an issue when riding alone. Although the scenery is nice and peaceful, our local mountains are known to have predators such as Bobcats, Mountain lions and Rattle Snakes. Other animals such as Deer and Rabbits can be seen on a daily basis eating and playing in the tree canopy covered areas. It’s a risk I take for granted all to often.

So now I am feeling sick to my stomach about the troubles and dangers that could have plagued a fellow rider on a typical Monday ride. Heck. It could have been me up on the mountain. I just hope our local Park Rangers and search crews bring him home safe. My fingers are crossed.
