I am torn.....I work 5 days a week at one job, and sometimes six days a week at another job. Sometimes job #1 isn't always 5 days a week. Some weeks job #1 is unemployed.

I work five days a week with a floating day off so I work a lot of Saturdays. The good thing is my job is about 1/4 mile from Woods canyon and where do you think I end up after work? Ya life is rough!

I've got my own business, so every week is different. On average, I'd say five 10's makes a good week. Then every once in a while a day like today pops up. Called out at 4:30am by a very good client. Just got home at 7:55pm. Dang, I missed the Loop. Oh well, I'll pull rank and ride tomorrow at 6am. Cheers!

When its daylight savings I can often squeeze in a local ride even during the week.

Sounds interesting. What do you do?

KeepsWhatHappen, I hear you’re also a photographer, what do you shoot.
As for me I shoot vary mundane Corporate and architectural photography, it pays the bills and my addiction of buying over priced bikes.

I admire someone who works hard and can wait for the good things in life. Patience is a virtue after all. Happy trails!

Agreed, I am not getting rich by any means, I rent an apt. But the thing I do Have is time for me and my kids. In this life it is more important than Material goods IMHO.

That's cool. Nice to talk to a fellow photographer.

I shoot cars for advertising. I used to shoot the brochures you'd find in the dealerships, but these days my forte is shooting Quicktime VRs for manufacturers websites. Currently I'm shooting the new Acura TSX and RL for the interactive showroom on acura.com. Don't mean to be a dweeb and push my work but you can see more at my website.
