Cool breeze, red leaves, and graveyard shifts

October rides are probably some of my favorite. I love the cooler temperatures and the easier, long distance rides. Today's ride was an eighty mile stroll through West Warren, Plain City, Brigham City and Honeyville. I took a jacket because the sky looked ominous but it never rained. The clouds and the earth just kinda sandwiched everything. Pretty rad.

This time of year always reminds me of Jeannina. It reminds me of Swimming. It reminds me of all the after school rides, trying to beat the sunset home. I love October.

I started working at Lifetime in the middle of this week. The tasks are all relatively easy and mindless: place a specific part on a specific area on a specific rack that rolls through on an assembly line. repeat for hours. The hardest thing for me has been adjusting to the hours, which are 4:30pm to 3:15am. It doesn't bother me though, because i get to ride my bike during the day. The extra sunlight will hopefully keep me from getting bummed out. If not, then at least my stacked schedule will.

Let's Start Today

Today is the first day of the rest of my life...or maybe i'll die. In that case, it will be the last day of the rest of my life. In either case, I finally start working at Lifetime in Layton. I get about two and a half weeks of work until i start taking evening classes at Steven Henagers. Good thing its only a temp place and they're accustomed to people bailing after only two weeks.
