You know you’re a Specialized Demo Coordinator When:

A 7,000 dollar S-works bike gets knocked over and you don’t even flinch
You can tell someone what the breakfast buffet at any given hotel chain will be: Hampton Inns have fruit salad, Comfort inns have waffle makers and LaQuintas have these weird sausage biscuit things.
You can answer emails and set up suspension at the same time.
At a group ride everyone gangs up to “drop the kid from Specialized.”
You’ve listened to country music at least once, probably in South Dakota when there was nothing else on and you probably even enjoyed it a little.
You have had to have your credit limit raised
You have tried to straighten a rim with a screw driver, when that didn’t work you tried a hammer, and when that didn’t work, you got a bigger hammer.
Even with step-by-step directions you still can’t order things from oracle.
When you go on vacation you put up your away from the office message as saying “I will be out of the van from the 12-18.”
You’ve eaten a free hotdog for breakfast because it was the only thing you could get your hands on. (lets think about the meaning of free hotdogs for a second here too, some things in life just shouldn’t be free, and when they are, they should definitely give you pause.)
You have not ridden the same singletrack twice this year
You have the best job in the world.
