Everyone that knew him knew that he loved racing his bike more than anything else. However, he never seemed to have time to perform those races because his boss was a slave driver who never gave him any time off. The problem with that was it was driving Jim to leave the job that he had fought so hard to get.
He walked into his bosses office and threw down his letter of resignation. He finally had enough money saved up to get that mongoose mountain bike he had been eyeing for several months now. That bike was the one that he was going to use to ride to the races finish lines all the time. He knew that when he got that he could start racing with that bike, but the job would have to go.
As he opened the letter and seen what it was Jims boss started asking him to reconsider and that he would do anything that he could to keep him there. Jim decided to see how far his boss was willing to go and asked him to give him free vacation time and a pair of diamondback bikes. Jims boss agreed to that which shocked Jim tremendously. He was so shocked that he told his boss he would have to think it over before he could tell him if he would stay or not.
Jim thought about this the rest of the day and tried to figure out if it was going to be worth it or not. Towards the end of the day Jim knew that it was gong to be worth it if he got it in writing.
Jim decided that he would stay at the job if his boss would put it in writing the promise of time off for the races, but also that he would get the bikes. He explained that to his boss and he shook his head and motioned for the secretary to jot the notes down. She wrote them down and then all three of them signed the papers each one getting a copy of the note with the original going to Jim.
As he left the office building for the day he was happy with the results. He had the promises in writing and knew that he could do what he wanted. So he headed over to the tattoo fever parlor and had a tattoo of his new bike put onto his back.
He was surprised that the tattoo did not cost him that much money and decided that he would head off to the bike shop. He walked around in the store for a while and knew that he needed to get a new team designed outfit. After placing that order he headed off towards his house knowing that he would be winning races again shortly.
