What should I do.

Well if any of you know me I have worked at Intel for 13+ years on nights (7:00 PM to 7:30 AM). I really enjoy nights because because of no managers I get to make life altering/changing decisions and the Schedule has really worked well with my family Schedule. My Management have come to me in this last week and asked if I would move to Day schedule. It would still be a compressed 12 shift but from 7:00 AM to 7:30 PM on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and every other Wednesday. I would lose money (12% of my income) and I would be working with management. I'm still struggling with the idea. My lovely wife told me I could because she is supporting me and I think she know I'm getting older because of the brutal schedule of switching back and forth each week. I would lose having Saturdays off but I would not have to work Sundays nights and the switching of schedules from nights to day would be over. I'm going to think it over for a week and let them know. If any of you have any opinions on this I would really like to know.

Just and update:
I have decided to stay on nights for a while longer. I will try it for another 2 years and who to say what I will do after that.

Returning Back to School & Weather

I'm still in School at the University of Phoenix. I'm going for BSIT I'm doing programming which is not my one of my best subject but it is fun the learn. I'm a little busy with school full time and work full time. I think Teri hates when I'm in school nothing get down around the house.

This last weekend we had High temperature in 95 to 104 degree. We tried to stay in the house and keep the air condition working it tail off. It is Tuesday the 19th of August and it is raining so in Oregon so it you do not like the weather in Oregon just wait a week and it will change.

Biking To Work

I have been enjoying riding my bike to work lately. It is about 6 miles one way, so I get to ride 12 miles. I was using a backpack to carry my cloths for work and rain gear but it was heavy enough to make me top heavy so when I was on the road and riding the white line (edge of road 3 inches on the other side of line) I almost crashed a couple times when cars drove by with the wind gusts and pushing me off the road. I picked up some saddle bags and it has made all the difference for weight distribution because it is lower on the bike. I enjoy not having the backpack on my back also. I do not sweet as much. I will have the wife take a picture of me with all the gear. I also have a computer for the bike it keeps track of total distance I ride and how fast and slow. I have a average speed of 13 mph with a top speed of 29 MPH... I was talking to one of my bosses and he has hit a speed of about 45 mph with his bike. 29 was fast enough for me.
