I would have thought both 'Living the Dream' and 'Working in a Bike Shop' are mutually exclusive.
Carry on.

working in a bike shop is great, your araound bikes all the time... unfortunantly most of them are crappy kmart bikes... and you pretty much spend all your life at work, with mayb the odd saturday to go riding, i know most of you go riding sunday but i havnt got outta home yet and sundays church day so pretty much yeh...

I work in a bicycle shop.
Do not work there.
You will never save a penny.
Trust me.

I work as a bike mechanic in the inner eastern suburbs of Melbourne and I can vouch for that comment, many times something new rolls up in our shop "ooo shiny, pretty, must have"

Well, today is your lucky day.
I own a bike shop and I need a new person to work for me. You have just saved me the trouble of employing someone who has shown some interest & initiative by going out and visiting bike shops looking for work in his/her chosen field.
please send your resume to getoffyourass@lazypricksbikes.com.au, then come in and we'll talk staff discounts & sponsorship.

I think you missed some important tags there.
In seriousness - I have actually approached quite a few shops, have also looked into mechanics courses. It doesn't hurt to throw things out there... make use of all avenues available.

nah we were finishing off exams at school then and were not allowed to do apprenticeship stuff during exam block. so i have to wait and do the next one.
Precisely! If you were 'Living the Dream' the term work would be redundant.
'Living the Dream', getting everything for free from the bike shop...well that's another story!
You must have had some good bikes before you started living that dream, I'm currently on the Govt payroll after certain money hungry bastards fucked me over on my $10K commission for selling insulation. In turn not being able to pay loans means you have to sell something (my O or my bikes and I'm not gay so ain't selling my O) which then leaves a bitter taste in your mouth and then you're back to dreaming about living.
ONE DAY, I SAY, ONE DAY I WILL HAVE THAT CARBON LT AND NOMAD!!
Preach Satanism or Scientology and when she tells you it's bullshit just say yeah, I guess you're right, it's just a stupid fucking religion where some cunt gets you to preach to some guy they can't see and probably isn't real. But what's more they get you to donate and do all this bullshit in the name of somebody but really are only interested in their own pocket profiting off gullible fools.dont have a millitant christian mother... problem also solved...

Then she'll either wake up to herself (sadly I think it's doubtful) or realize you don't need to go to church. If she thinks more church is what you need, then obviously you need to do something at church to make her reconsider.
edit: yes, it is obvious (to me and should be to all!) how fucked up and destructive religion is to not only society, our country but the whole world!

hahah, made me smile anyways
i had to go to brissy from mackay for tafe haha, i liked it, take my bike, ride everywhere i could while i was there, i liked it better then when they did video conference at tafe here, is brett still the teacher?
I should move back there soon, just need to find a job, money and a place to stay..riding in Brisbane (any city is great I'm sure) is awesome. Probably the one thing that would make me return..
