The This Is My Life Ride
Posted by Will under biking
Sitting here this morning frustrated and depressed and wondering why, after what I felt was an excellent interview last week, I hadn’t gotten a call from the company with a job offer, I cracked open the Gmaps Pedometer website and started looking back over my life via the places where I’ve lived it.
Next thing I knew I was charting the course of a bike ride that would bring me past each of the 16 addresses I’ve had since I was born. It totals 58.4 miles and looks a little something like the outline of a stegosaur:

There’s a larger version of the static image here, or you can zoom in/out and all around live via this link here. Not sure of the if/when I might undertake this all-day sucker as my time at this point is much better spent pursuing a full-time gig rather than chasing down ghosts of my past… but still, there are worse ways to wallow.

You did everything right sweetie, but you’ll keep plugging at the search machine. It’ll happen.

Let me know when the epic ride is on for I will stand on the corner an waive as you go by since I live very near you old place in BH.
As for the gig, perhaps it is time to join me for dinner (www.exectec.us) and meet some new people. Network baby, network. Also I see you lack a Linkedin (www.linkedin.com) profile, time to do that as well.
Who you know is as critical as what you know.
