Labor Yay Weekend.

This weekend could not come sooner. After having a light training week I am planning on gearing it up for the weekend. Tennis, BMX, 70 miles road ride, some cyclocross inbetween, an alleycat race, and some beer to top it off. Heres are some random pics for your enjoyment.

SUPREME BLOGGING SKILLS

Not sure if anyone even looks and probably doesn't. But ok I've been racing roadbikes, and will be doing cross again. That is pretty much it.

So as an update to my current standings and how I am doing in this endeavor to becoming the best of the worst, actually currently I'm the worst of the worst, about dead last in Cat 5 races. I am finishing, which says more then DNFing, basically the mortal sin of cycling, at least in my ambitious eyes. So i bought a bike waaaay too good for me and I know it, but hell I like nice stuff, and it was older, its an 06 specialized tarmac sl with full dura ace. Additionally I got a set of Ksyrium SL 08 wheels (Basically the old ES wheels). So obviously this is like a paraplegic getting into a 911 Porsche and attempting to seriously race it in a 2 fast 2 furious race. Additionally I got a used Fuji cyclocross bike with full ultegra. Again way beyond what I need, but considering I was racing on a 1980 Raleigh converted to a 1x8 with straight bars, I think this was well deserved. any person willing to race on bike like that a whole season earned an upgrade.

Speaking of upgrades. I have officially gone through the motions to attempt to upgrade my cross status from a 4 to a 3. I also tried to get out of cat 5 for road, but that is very unlikely. I am going to see how this goes for my upgrades. Maybe I can upgrade to the better of the worst.

So far so good.

Taking things slow and seeing where I end up. So far I have been keeping myself very busy but I will have a better understanding of whats going on with me next week. Keep your fingers crossed!

San Francisco

Is beautiful! Been talking to a lot of biotech companies here and things may turn another direction quickly! I'm excited and trying to make things happen out here. Who knows I may be able to be here permantely!

Ethox Int

So I have received an offer from Ethox internation here in Rochester, NY. The position will be workng as a Chemist/assisting in sales and marketing. I feel this position can really be a strong position, and am really exicited to start working. This position seems to really be inline with my interest of getting into sales/marketing of pharmaceuticals, yet have a strong background in the sciences. I haven't accepted the offer yet as I hav to make sure all my avenues are checked but its likely I am accepting it.

I have also finished almost everything in my degree. I have finished my last 2 classes and just have my thesis due the on thursday to present. So all will be well.

Finally 3/11 I wil be heading up to San Fran to search out some more positions and have a mini vacation.

Happy new years

Ethox international

I'm am working on an interview with this company Ethox in hopes for a position as a bench scientist/marketer/sales person. I've interviewed with them several times and the company seems like a great place to start working for. I have been insearch of other positions as well. In terms of career fairs there is a fair for pharmeucuetical sales people in Rochester, then a biospace career fair in a week in boston. So I have a very busy next few weeks. In addition to my completion of my thesis which is aboutn 40% complete. So working on it and cranking out the work is tough but I hope to be employed and ready to contribute to the world soon.

As for my latest tech review look back in next few week for reviews of the PS3, Wii, Apple Macbook (Santa Rosa), Best skin ever (for the iphone), Speck case for the macbook, and many other tech reviews new and old.
