4/23/09 From Work

This was my last "From Work" ride for a while.  I'm going out on my own to try out some business ideas I have.  Since I'll be working from home, my commute is getting greatly compressed. Now I'll just walk out the back door and to the garage apartment, a distance of less than 100 feet.

It was time to leave for a number of reasons, but foremost is the fact that I've gotten bored with the commute.  I'm a creature of habit, and I tend to ride the exact same route to and from work each day.  I now know every pebble, pothole, and crack in the streets from my house to downtown where I work.  I know that it would be easier to just change-up the route, but my OCD prevents me from doing that.  The only real option was to leave my job and free myself from the tyranny of repetitive cycling.  Now, instead of commuting, I'll be able to do short rides from my house in the mornings before starting work.  My only fear is that I'll have to move in a year or two when I've gotten bored of all the streets around the house.
