On top of the bottom of the world

I wish, I could ride my bike to work, except it's all up hill and pretty steep at a few points, and 100+ degrees today. what type of job do you have?

If your current job isn't paying the rent, why not look for another one?

Aye, when I first started, my legs killed me when I rode to work...it's very hilly so I have to go uphill both ways with minimal momentum from the downhill sections, and it's furiously hot. I'm from Wisconsin (now living in Virginia), and I just burn up - I take a camel-back with me to keep me hydrated. It's retail...(ugh - minimum wage is so bad)

Cuz it took me well over a year to find this job

I think when people are posting on facebook that it's 112 according to there cars, or your car say's it's 109 when you leave work, I think that means you shouldn't ride a bike, plus riding to work in nice black work pants and a clean white shirt isn't my thing. last time I rode to my works generally direction, I made the chain fall from downshifting, Uphill+ all my weight pedaling = to much torque on chain.

It took you over a year to find a job that pays minimum wage at 19?
Do you at least get benefits?

I'm not saying you should become a bicycle enthusiast, or even ride it ever xD, but I have to do the same thing for 30 minutes twice a day. Nice black pants, clean white work shirt, tie, nice dress shoes.

Not a single one. It's part-time (I've been asking for more hours, but you know). I do get a very very very small amount of commission though - I got about $15 this past two weeks.
