Default Decide My Fate

Well i missed my damn fairings today. came in the mail and i wasnt here to sign for them. Damn the luck.

Anyways, im pumped. I have to work on monday though, so that means i wont be able to pick em up, and i wont be able to get a hold on them until tuesday, so heres the scenario: Should i call off work and spend the day with my bike, or should i just tough it out and forget about taking a holiday about it.

How much time do you have? If it's a situation where you have to use it or lose it and you typically don't take much. Might as well spend a day with your bike, if you are at the ragged edge of not having time then be patient grasshopper

Dude.


quit being a tight ass little bitch.

Make your little sandy va-jay-jay better by only going in half day so you only have to burn 4 hours or WTF ever.

For me, work comes first, so I'd go to work. I would, however, try to break away at some point in the day (lunch break, maybe?) to pick the stuff up and then install everything that evening when I got home.

Seriously, whats more important? making sure that there is food on the table and a roof over your head? OR playing with your bike?

Its an obvious choice, Taters whore of an ex wife will be here tommorrow, but there is no way in hell that the swine flu you have just contracted will let you do any decent work today. Your bike however needs its daddy to fix it and make it feel good.

Skip work, do the right thing.

I've got somebody to cover half a day... so i think i'll just take the other half as a personal day.

fuck food on the table and a roof. If i've got a bike whats the point in haveing a roof to go back to every night anyways.
