THE new job

Since I promised to tell you about the new gig I guess I should. One of the larger/better recumbent shops in the country is run by a really good friend of mine, Rob. This guy is a serious businessman and also a lefty art fuck like me so we get along really well. He and I have been talking for years about working together in some fashion and have collaborated many, many times on projects for his shop. We have been toying with the idea of my coming out east and managing his shop so he could go forward with some of his larger projects for quite a while. Well when I told him that I was going to be leaving my shop (many reasons, not all good) he started calling me every few days. Eventually I broke down and told him that I didn't want to move out east right now. I have my farm and this new thing with Kate that I really want to explore. He wasn't happy but understood. A few days later I was talking with Jack and he was dressing me down for not taking the job. We eventually came up with an idea. I'm not sure who's idea it was, if anyones. The idea was that I should run Rob's internet store. Right now it is VERY small but the plan is to make it GiHugic. This would allow me a whole lot of good stuff. I can do two of the things I am really good at, computers and recumbents, at the same time. I get to stay here, it's a virtual job, and do something that will be a major challenge and just shitloads of fun. I got very excited at the idea and immediately called Rob. He liked it and took a few days to work it over then called me back and said "let's do it!" Happy dance for me! SO....this is gonna be great fun and an amazing amount of work. I can hardly wait.

later,
