Tony Harrison Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Lastly, I need to be among motivated people and that's not here where it's so quiet and empty you could spend a whole day not seeing another human being. Need to take action but I have a feeling that whatever approach I take, I'm going to be in a worse position overall than I am now. I'd say this is the most important thing - who you choose to spend time with ends up having a big effect on your life, in my experience anyway. You may end up in a worse position overall, but it may enable you to end up in a better position further down the line. Sometimes we have to take the hit, endure some hardship and believe that things will work out later. They often do. I remember being in a similar position though where everything was f'cked up, I was at my parents' place, girlfriend was gone, hated my job, isolated in the countryside. Four years later and things have changed - for the better - completely out of recognition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Just need to have another rant at British Cycling. They are an absolute f**king joke, Jack Carthy has just blitzed the worlds and I'd guess he's set a few records in doing so winning the Junior class as well and still there's not even a hint of a mention on the BC website. Now this may just be speculation on my part but I remember the Biketrial Federation running a comp to design a shirt for our riders to wear at rounds of the UCI worlds a while back, is it just me or is it quite bizarre that this got lost and all of a sudden our riders are sporting British Cycling tops? Talk about double standards, if they won't support us then why the hell should we even acknowledge them. I've been told direct from the horses mouth that BC have no interest in trials as it's not interesting/exciting enough from a spectators point of view, obviously that's why demo teams are struggling for work and not performing most weekends at events across the country right? I think it's a pretty safe bet that if we could host a round of the World Champs here, even tieing it in with a road or MTB event to cut costs, it'd be a huge success and bring in the crowds maybe even getting a few minutes on the telly. How is it that the people at BC are so far up their own arses they won't even consider giving us a chance? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 That's what I was gonna suggest, from you previous posts it looks like he supports you quite a bit so I'm sure he wouldn't mind you keeping some stuff back home That would definitely work if it weren't for my business which I run from home and which requires a lot of space. Not relocating it with me would require even more commuting since I'd have to travel to work every day during the rush hour. That's the biggest problem here, if it weren't for this things would be so much easier and moving out would be a no brainer. I'd say this is the most important thing - who you choose to spend time with ends up having a big effect on your life, in my experience anyway. You may end up in a worse position overall, but it may enable you to end up in a better position further down the line. Sometimes we have to take the hit, endure some hardship and believe that things will work out later. They often do. I remember being in a similar position though where everything was f'cked up, I was at my parents' place, girlfriend was gone, hated my job, isolated in the countryside. Four years later and things have changed - for the better - completely out of recognition. Cheers for that, much appreciated. Must say I haven't considered this in the long term.

Tony Harrison Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Myself I'm certainly not into long-term planning, 'five year plans' and bullshit like that - life changes too much (if you're willing to let it), interests change, everything changes. But at the same time having some perspective, and remembering that bad situations will often improve, helps to keep things in balance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 So cold this morning, ended up donning my bib shorts and jacket to ride in to work and when I got here I couldn't feel my legs. Small person crying half the night didn't help either as I only got about 4 hours sleep if that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 This topic seems to be the "depression thread" atm, rather than the angry thread. I have a problem with making decisions and focussing on what i need to do, to make myself happy. I blame riding, f**king riding. Wish i was just some xc rider who liked to do pop off some wheelies and do crappy stunts now and then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 3 hour drive to Worcester for a meeting, horrific rain and traffic. The journey normally takes me an hour and a half. Arrived just in time for the meeting, and it was cancelled... Brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeperson45 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Thought I was going into hospital this morning for my knee and to hopefully get the 'you can ease back to normal' from them. What happened though was I had muddled up that appointment with a shoulder check up. Almost been a year since my last little cemi-dislocation thing. Today they just said what I knew they would which sucks. They'll give me an MRI, they'll refer me to physio and I'll probably end up having to get the same operation I had on my left shoulder. That would mean another two years worth of not riding or really doing any of the things I like doing and after four of those years I am just so fed up with it. And I had some stupid Indian doctor that I was really struggling to understand who, when I was telling him why I wasn't happy with his plan because it's prolonging everything, was just sitting smiling at me like a complete retard. Went through telling him how this whole issue has literally ruined my life and that I had to drop out of my college and move because of it and he's just smiling at me. I want to punch his face so much. I've had four dislocations now and I know the routine of physio, wait for it to happen again, physio, and then them saying only now is the surgery justified. Wish I could enjoy video games or some other sitting around hobbies but I'm just thinking about riding again all the time. My youth's just been wasted now because of my stupid body. The more I'm getting annoyed the closer I am to just buying a bike and riding it. If it's all going to go wrong again I might as well get a few weeks where it's now just making me miserable all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 woman is annoying, she can't get the work she wants (teaching stuff) but won't look into getting any other kind of work in the mean time because she's qualified to do teaching stuff. it's f**king pig ignorant. why the f**k are women so stubborn and f**ktarded?Whut? Why should she do a deadend job when she could use that time chasing her career? My girlfriend took the deadend job approach, and has been doing it for 2 years. Not going anywhere any time soon.Chasing your dream career isn't pig ignorant at all, it's savvy and considering the long term to be more important than a few quid short term. Which is why I am where I am now, despite plenty of people telling me that certain IT companies I've worked for were no good and I should sack them off post haste and work down the pit.

Tony Harrison Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Fully agree. Set in your mind the standard of job (or anything) that you believe you can achieve, and go get it. The danger is that you get trapped in a sub-par job like Muel says, and then it gets harder and harder to switch up. I was there for years, and on bad days I'd half-heartedly search job websites, then go get drunk at the weekend and nothing ever changed.

ogre Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 shes now got an interview for a teaching role that suits her. so it's all good. i agree she should be looking to do what she wants but she was moping about having no money and generally doing naff all with her time, i just felt doing something is better than nothing.

Pashley26 Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 First day back at work after a week off ill. No two ways to put it, I am in no mental state to be back at work. I nearly decked multiple people today but settled for shouting at them. Entire sales team are unresponsive to anything I say or do because they know I don't have the strength to argue. God help them next week when I'm back in shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
