I am pretty sure I slept close to 12 hours last night. Which makes up for only getting 4 the night before. I have to work an 8 hour shift at Safeway, so I didnt head straight to the gym. It snowed last night, which I wasn't expecting, but based on last night's temperature, I'm not surprised. I was going to walk to work, but the streets were okay, so I biked. I'm now sitting in Starbucks with a wet butt, and a dirty messenger bag.
This week Noel and I applied for a job working as a team for Bikes Belong, working on their 'People for Bikes' campaign. It would involve the two of us traveling around and talking to people about bikes. So basically our dream job. We'd be doing alot of the things we gave experience doing as Americorps team leaders, arranging travel, communicating with people at the different locations we'd go to (just like NCCC project sponsors), coordinating volunteers, etc. So when I said that after Americorps ended all I wanted to do was ride my bike, eat burritos, and live with Noel, this is clearly exactly what I had in mind!
It would be a six month position, which for the experience I think is totally worth it. I doubt that there will be many times in my life where I'm willing and able to just drop everything and take off to talk about bikes. Dont get me wrong, I love my job. I like being able to go to work, and know that I'm helping people, and I like the office I work in (yesterday the phones and computers were down for maintenance so we had pizza at our team meeting, then went to Pheonix Multisport to take a tour of their sober gym). But I'm not really in a "settled down" frame of mind. I want to bike across the coutry again, or be able to take an Americorps job and just relocate to a new place at the drop of a hat.
P.S. Dear Dad, I wrote this post on my phone so please forgive any spelling and grammar errors you find.
