Looking for my Life Back

November 20th, 2007

A few times this year I’ve posted about my job stressing me out and also a Dilbert cartoon describing the situation at work. Although my job wasn’t the only thing that kept me busy and mostly off the bike this year, it really sucked the energy from me. An anonymous poster commented the following on the Dilbert cartoon post.

I can so identify with crappy working conditions. I’ll say some prayers that I read of a new job for you rather than see you in the news because you’ve strung up your boss by his toenails and are now forcing him/her to watch the Wiggles, Blue’s Clues and Thomas the Tank in an endless loop.

The prayers have been answered and my boss wasn’t forced to watch the Wiggles, Blue’s Clues or Thomas the Tank.

Tomorrow is my last day at my current job and I’ll start my new job next Monday. I’m excited about my new job. It’s at a small company which is something I like. My new manager used to work with one of my good friends at HP. One of my co-workers has finished the Leadville 100 8 times, 6 of them on a single speed. He’s currently training for the 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo. I won’t have to get up from my desk to see outside and I’ll have a view of Pikes Peak out the window. I’m sure there will be some things I don’t like but there’s plenty of things to like about it.

Perfect Description of My Current Job

August 9th, 2007


It would be impossible to describe my current job situation better than this Dilbert cartoon. I’m not sure how but it has to change soon. My health and my family are too important to let it continue. If you wonder what I do for work, you can look at my LinkedIn profile.
