Today I used an angle grinder for a little while to grind some steel railing in the skate park, it was pretty manly of me, really. Then it started to rain so I did some other stuff. I talked to Julie Bailey, who is the wife of the the executive director of Qwanoes, and has some kind of position which means I answer to her- I think she's the activities director. Anyway, she told me some stuff nobody had ever bothered to explain to me, yesterday I was mad because nobody seemed to care about what I need, but she explained everything to me. It looks like I get some say in what kind of bike helmets we buy, and how many we need, and that kind of stuff, and she wants me to update the inventory list by removing items from the list that we don't need and adding items I think we need. I was just happy that somebody actually has a sheet of paper that says what I'm supposed to have, because I quite clearly do not have it all, and I felt like nobody cared. I still have a bit of a problem though, because it's hard to decide what's really necessary when I haven't started the job yet. I'm supposed to start the year with 10 spare tubes and 2 patch kits, instead for the moment I have 7 tubes that all snake bites, and one that's been patched. Do I ask for a ton of patch kits so that I can patch all the tubes or do I just replace them? I basically couldn't decide what to do when I was dealing with it this afternoon and so I decided to tinker in the shop for the rest of the afternoon. I straightened a wheel that must have been previously replaced, which involved considerable violence as well as technique and care. All in all, I feel fulfilled.
After dinner I played my guitar and played soccer for a while, then worked up the energy to blog about my day.
