Moving to New Office

It's been a while since I have blogged and it being a Sunday night with pumpkin in bed reading with mommy, I can have a little free time. The economy of course is down the toilet and that has affected Custom Development. So much so that we are now forced to move. Yep, the landlord wants us out as in GTFO. And who can blame them? We haven't paid the rent in months. No, I take that back. We have paid the rent but only 1/2 and that has been pissing off the landlord in a big way. I guess he just snapped. The bad news is that business is so crappy we can only afford a tiny little space in the back of a light industrial park. The good news is that it is just around the corner from where I live. No more long bike commutes through the streets of Rancho Cordova.  I was riding on the bike trail but the truth is that although it has some great views of the American River, I just couldn't stand some of the asshole riders wearing their Italian bike gear who came up quickly behind me and then warned me with their condescending "On your left" notification. Sorry, I don't need that kind of unpleasantness to disturb me while I think. Yes, I like to think while I ride and by the way, I always rode on the far right. I never hogged the trail like some of the others I have seen. So the perfunctory "On your left" warnings started to irritate me very early on as I view them as totally and completely unnecessary. That unpleasantness drove me to look for a new route to follow to work. I was pleasantly surprised and delighted to discover a route with zero other bike riders and practically no cars that was actually faster than going through the bike trail. Reason why is because it was a more direct route. Much nicer, quiet and fast.
