Another interview tomorrow and a 2nd interview on monday. Hopefully this will all be over soon and the ending will not include my having to pack my bags and move back to PA.

Crossing my fingers that one of the docs I used to work with is looking for people. I really want to work for him.

echappist

was thinking of the same thing.

having a real job means i'm at least 7hrs behind on posts...

TMonk

well I have a "real job" at a company with only 28 employees.

i can jerk off on the internet pretty much anytime I don't have a time commitment (meeting, customer call, etc) as long as I get my work done and put in my time.

Seepage. It's a subtle difference but I like precise language.

topflightpro

Yeah, I can see your point, but at least in the Racing forum, you actually get focused and somewhat intelligent answers.

Just found out I have to go to Bangalore in March. Ugh.

Watch out for the torpedos.

Holy crap does any in the pro peloton crash more than Farrar?

Sweet. A photo I took of Thing One made it into USA Swimming's "Splash" magazine. He's pretty happy to be right next to Natalie

that's awesome WR!

side note: are you racing this year?

rkwaki

Shoot you are alive...

waterrockets 

Thanks. Yep, racing this year. I'll figure out my calendar next week, hopefully. I have been slammed at work, and trying to get the pinewood derby going for my two scouts (I'm heading the derby, on top of helping them make cars).

hammy56

no.

rkwaki

Like gs said wrong forum but I just can't stand him. SO overrated and a big frickin' baby.

I don't know him at all, I didn't see coverage of the crash, but the thing that strikes me is that I see him make tactical errors going into sprints. I see him pushing to get places instead of letting them come to him. If that's indicative of how he rides before the last km of a race then he's asking for problems. Some of the other sprinters race much more patiently, wait for the opportunities, they don't force them.

When I think of other crashing type sprinters they're the ones trying to force gaps - that Ferrari disaster on wheels, Hondo (was he the one that took himself out in a Tour stage?).

There are infamous crashing sprinters like Cav and Abdu but to me their famous crashes are on-the-edge racing incidents. Cav came together with Haussler in that one crash, Abdu sprinted with his head down (like Nelissen). In general though when you watch them they are not forcing the issue, they wait and then they pounce.

saratoga

That's pretty cool!

mattm

Dammit Tyler! At this point it's hard to say he doesn't have a crashy problem.. but I like him more than Cav.

Also he should probably take more tips from amateurs..

So this is from Stage-1 of the TdU, what's going on with the bottom, front of Greipel's jersey? Is this an oddly cut skin-suit?

Linked to prevent spoilers

rkwaki

No I think it is the color of the front. I wondered the same thing. His teammate doesn't have the same thing. I'm still trying to come to terms with the 'new look' jerseys.

Pic no worky

waterrockets 

No, I think that's a new style of skinsuit that gives you 6" of flaps to zip up to make it easier to put on w/out ripping the hell out of it when you come out of a humid porta-potty after warming up.

We're seeing belly there.

Works for me here (in your post too)

rkwaki

Interesting...
