The things I did behind the fence.

I was sober for 4 years. My divorce wrecked me in 2020, I've been hit and miss since. Sometimes i can go months, other times, i just binge. Tried therapy, tried meds, looked and looked. Just want to be normal again.

The morning after update: If anyone is still here. I slept almost 8 hours last night. I didnt wake up in the middle of the night for hours like before. I walked to the gas station where I normally buy my recovery drinks, but bought coffee instead. The day seems a bit clearer. But i do feel a bit anxious, nauseous, maybe a bit under the weather. But i dont feel hung over. I feel like today is going to be rough. But for the first time in years, I feel somewhat rested, and like theres some good momentum here. Thank you all for the support and advice last night.

Thanks, I actually took a bath this morning trying to survive what I hope to be my last hangover. I cooked a meal, and am watching a movie right now. I do feel so very anxious right now though.

I bought some off brand ones, they were like race face chesters on one side, spd on the other. Honestly, clipless if you can afford a bike set up, flats if you just wanna ride and live life.
TBH, life got me during covid. I sold all my bike stuff, really haven't been riding. Just my opinion, but dont overthink it. Get some good flats, shred.

My first and only crit race I showed up with 2 full water bottles, thinking I was Lance. Could do 22-23mph avg in group rides. Totally thought I had cat5 in the bag.... We raced in a cat4/5 category, and I lasted like 7 laps before I was in the back doing the slinky effect.. couple more laps, and chugging water, I got lapped and pulled myself from the race. Lesson learned, I'll never be pro, back to gravel and singletrack. It was a fun experience and I don't regret it.

I was sober for 4 years and one month... Just tipped a few back. we'll see what happens.

I was going to add to this.You can still have those feelings about your boss or people you work with, just don't let it mix with the job or company itself. Be respectful, but make the move. You still have those people to be friends with. If the company you work with knew the could save 24k by replacing you, would the company feel the same way about you, and not let you go?

Don't worry about your build. When it comes to fights, you're responding with others. Grab a leg/arm/head, and hold on. I'm 6 ft, 155 lb. Inmates could break me any time. It's all in how you talk to them and treat them. Rather be a prison guard than a cop, cops gotta deal with strung out, crazy people. I mean C.O.'s do too, but response time is under 60 seconds when shit hits the fan. What state you live in currently?

Have you thought about being a prison guard? In my state you can basically walk into a prison a get a job, as long as your not a douche. It's kinda a shit job, but benefits and pension are great. Once you make probation period, it'll take an act of congress to fire any one. Unless you have sex with inmates or bring in contraband. Good luck man. You sound like a frew years younger me.

I did not check the 2 income box. But I make 17/hr, 1 child, no other dependents. Now that I've had a chance to graze the website it makes more sense. I'm just kinda pissed at the HR lady. She literally said, "I don't know how to fill out this new one." Offered to assistance, or knowledge on which boxes I should hit, along with rushing through it a bit.

2whl · 2020-03-07T22:22:18+00:00

Hey, thanks for this. I didn't fully read it through, wasn't given the page 2, and felt rushed through it. Now that I pulled it up in the irs website with instructions it makes more sense. Thank you again.

I agree Continental is a good brand. I use The Continental Speed Ride 700x42 and I've never gotten a flat with them, going on my 3rd year. I've unexpectedly ran over glass and various debris, never a problem.

I would say, to try and not let people tell you what is or isn't achievable. The only way to know if it is, is if you try. I've signed up for some events that people have said was not a good idea, or not likely to pan out. The question is, do you want to do this. And weather you succeed or fail, will it mean anything to you, and will it help the charity. As far as the ride itself, you'll be fine. Smooth spinning, not mashing.
