guy doesn't know when to give it up.

I responded to his latest email with "MTV called, they want their lame drama back."

that sounds like it would be a really cool job EDR. Best wishes for you.

Make sure you'd have enough time to race bicycles. I find it's always a good interview question to ask how flexible your schedule is and how many days of vacation you get...

I need a mini pump that actually works (one that can get to 80psi, at least), recommendations? I think umd uses one that he likes.

That's what I told myself last week, and it lasted about 10 minutes. Hope you have better discipline than I do.

This of course will be how I start the interview

They are located close to my house so the commute will be short, and if they have showers I can ride to work some days.

Staff jobs in this town don't come up often and I've only had one other reply any thing I've applied to. I had a head hunter tell me that once they see how much experience I have they automatically assume they can't afford me. I re-worded my cover letter for this job and basically let them know that I don't expect L.A. money here in Austin..seems to have worked!!

The Lezyne road drive. It's a great pump, easy to make pressure. Flexible hose attaches to valve, stores inside pump. Doesn't work so well with removable valve cores.

There's nothing specific about the annoying. He's a kid in a room full of middle aged men more or less, they occasionally get annoyed.

He took pictures of girls walking under ladders in their bathing suits? That IS creepy.

I though people must be overreacting. Then I saw the pictures on his blog. How is that not illegal? Hopefully one of the ladies pictured will see it and take exception.

Internet creeper also claims that umd knows why he hates umd. Umd has no idea. Kuf knows why internet creeper hates kuf. Is umd guilty by association? The drama continues.

To be fair, annoyed is our default setting.

We had a guy peep on us once. Our bedroom is on the second floor of our house...this guy brought his own ladder and climbed up and looked in us. You'd think this would be the kind of thing that gets one put behind bars...well guess what? It's a class 3 misdemeanor. Actually peeping isn't even that, it's the trespassing that is the offense...all the guy got was a fine. He didn't even get put on a sex offender list or anything.
