I have a fairly good mountain bike and I have just had it for 2 months yet...

...the shifting is really bad...? do you have any advice for me? I know there is probably a break in period and I have already taken it to the bike shop to get the shifting cables and derualers adjusted once. I will probably take it back again next week. Luckly I have a 90 day free service period. Is it normal for a bike to shift rough if you ride it once or twice every week?

No such thing as a "break in period". A bike should go for weeks or more without needing adjustments. As long as you're not riding it off cliffs, ect. And if the bike is from Walmart, Target, K-Mart....there's no hope for it.
