ROB yo I think I may be up for riding some time this week. I'm not off but I may get off a lil early so I can meet you somewhere in Newport. Sucks though that you got laid off. You were a GREAT HELP while helping me with my wheels so I'm sure you'll find another job quick. But let me know if you wanna ride... I'll pm you my number.

Its funny how when written out a "half a million dollar condo" sounds all expensive but in reality its only $500,000. Still I'm sure the location is great and the view is exquisite. Hey if you want to do valet Rob I just got a job at the Hyatt in Newport (haven't started yet) but the company that hired me is Ace Parking and they handle the valet stuff at the Irvine Spectrum. I went in last week for an interview and basically got hired right away. I think they need peeps right now. Check em' out!

ROB, bummer man! You can still break my demo bikes whenever you'd like ( this goes for Rob, not everyone else) Things will turn out for the best, they always do. In the past whenever I was bummed about past jobs, there was always another one around the corner even better, I just had to find it. Best of luck to you, see ya around!

Thumbs up Bummer.... but that's life, get use to it.
Sorry to hear about the layoff ... but probably won't be your last (never is). Keep your sense of humor and positive thoughts....You will survive and probably come out of this better...

Suggestion: check out Bicycle Retailer's: Positions available.

http://www.bicycleretailer.com/classifieds/16.html

I see ads for shop employees in SoCal all the time.

Good luck, Rob...

El MOro ride, you will get something soon. As for right now enjoy the Jerry Springer, and Oprah shows, and all the more riding your going to get in. Hey you can always count on unemployment for the short time .

Dude you are so going to move to Hawaii. Everyone that goes there ends up wanting to stay, and with your current situation, I wont be surprised if you just stay there. If you are going to Maui and need advice or anything let me know- most of my family is there and they are cool peeps. I think my Dad even knows the guy who owns a bike shop there.
