Oy oy oy! What a wierd day - yet beautiful. First, the wierdity - work. Well, nothing that wierd, just productive. Albeit, wierd in that I found out that half of my staff is looking for new jobs (no suprize there) based on ABBA's (Asshole Bipolar Boss Asshole - my boss) continual bullshit. It's a hush hush thing on the coldfront - I'm actually privy to hear about this because my staff wonders why I continue to stay to endure the crap. The ship isn't going down yet - I have an arsonal of things I need to get off my chest at the next round of stakeholder (president) meeting, when they return from an all week offsite expo. Will prove to be interesting.

I releived my staff early - such a beautiful day and everyone did a major effort all week - I found out about all this in an a candid in-the-parking-lot conversation that lasted about an hour. I tried to comfort them, (it was wierd, because I was there all suited up in my cycling gear - my podium was my bike) - I allowed them the dual privalege to rant and vent - it was very enlightening. We all left with a sense of bewilderment. No one was at blame - I left onto my bike ride with zero feelings of disrespect, I just feel horrible that I cannot do more. My hands are tied. I'm not part of the family who owns the company - I myself have hit the glass ceiling (as I've explained to my staff), the only way to get ahead is to be adopted - which I would never elect to do. Nothing worse than a dysfunctional family is to be adopted as an outsider. I reassured them that all of their concerns will be tersely addressed. And soon.

I biked off, we all smiled ready for the weekend of great weather and things to do. I went on a short stretch ride out to Hamilton (32 miles), and because it was getting late & dark not to mention that I'm doing the Civil War Century tomorrow.

The weather is just incredible - I didn't wanna have to stop, but more will continue tomorrow. I had to get back and finish preparations for tomorrow - I'll prolly do the late start on the 105 mile century, at a leisurely pace - there's gonna be some hills. Grilled some bratwurst and had some pasta with a pesto sauce (homemade). Yum.

Just chilling in front of the tv, watching music fundraisers for the Katrina survivors - I called in and donated $200 - it's good music, and a more than worthy cause.

Thank goodness it's Friday.
