Gotta be a 6 at least given the fact they wouldn't bang a 5.

Brent's 6 feet tall - maybe that's good enough for MNS?

Eff incoming recruits getting signed to NHL teams in April.

I'm looking at you, Dustin Stevenson.

This is the second SLU guy signed to the NHL in the past week (Granted, he hasn't played at SLU yet). Brandon Bollig signed a 2 year deal with Chicago last week, giving up his final 2 years of eligibility. While it's tough to see possible gems leave early, it's nice to know that Joe Marsh and Co. are recruiting some top notch players to SLU.

That's outstanding. That tops my dream a few years ago of sitting next to legal and Quiz in a church while some nun was telling us that we were all going to hell.

I've sat next to Quiz and been told we were going to hell.

*begin rant*

Ok, so I got the "thanks but no thanks" e-mail from the other airline I interviewed for. I thought this interview went really well. This is really starting to be a kick in the junk. I'm able to get the interview; then not get the job. I'm reading all this stuff that says don't blame yourself and it's a tough job market but really, I'm getting sick of not landing a *king job. To make matters worse, I'm done on May 1st, so unless I want to be a complete *king mooch and let the government subsidize my vacation from the job world, I need to find something. The problem is, there aren't a lot of flying jobs out there. So it looks like I'm going to be leaving the profession that has given me free travel benefits for the last four years and has allowed me to travel for free whenever I want. Am I going to miss the lifestyle of the airlines? Hell no. It sucks being on the road for days on end, staying in crappy hotels and not being near the people that matter to you. But I will miss the travel bennies for sure. The worst part of it is, I don't know what else I can do. Retail, sure, but it's going to pay me pennies. I can't make a living doing that. And who is to say I'll get hired there anyway? I'm really getting sick of this *t. And it's all thanks to Bryan *king Bedford. I encourage all of you to never book tickets on a Republic flight. Ever.

Hang in there SG, keep the feet moving and you'll find something that will be worth it in the end.

BrettFavre's daughter popped out a kid. I hope the Vikings have an actual grandpa as their QB next year. It would be awesome.

I appreciate it.

The most frustrating thing is when I talk to my friends and whatnot, when they are like oh that sucks so bad, you can hear a small part of them saying "glad it's not me." And I don't blame them, because I was once on that side of the fence.

Anyway, since I don't pray, I need people to pray for me.

I'm not praying for you, since I don't pray either.

You'll get yours, man. Hopefully it's sooner than later.

I say that sucks so bad too, but I'm in the same boat (to some extent.) I do have a job for this summer, but I've had a few interviews and no bites yet for the winter. Frustrating, and I can't even blame HR since there's hundreds of people out there looking to fill the same job.

Good luck, nonetheless.

SG - Good luck. Been there so I can certainly empathize. Spend 6 months looking here and had several interviews for jobs where I thought I was the guy and ended up being the bridesmaid. When I did find something - as you will!- I ended up with a job I really like and, more importantly, it's with an even better group of people with outstanding management.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

Sorry to hear that, SG. Hopefully the economy will pick up soon and you'll be able to stay gainfully employed.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #108: Let's see if we can finish this before the Frozen Four

Ugh - SG, that's really frustrating!! Keep pounding the pavement - both figuratively and literally. Something will turn up

Checking in from school today. Not in the mood to study for my stats exam (it's on Thursday and I have a review session that starts in about 2 hours). Feeling generally moody today, but that might have something to do with having gotten up at 5:30 to get to school today (have to leave at 6:30 to get to my 8am discussion and I wanted to look nice today because we're having "date night" today). It's also probably, at least partially, due to the fact that my 8am discussion is totally worthless (but attendance is mandatory - it's the equivalent of an exam grade). The TA shows up a few minutes late (5-10) and is unprepared for class. She's a big fan of getting us to work in groups to discuss things so she doesn't have to participate. Since she doesn't have anything valuable to add, she releases the class 10 minutes (or so) early. So basically, we're in there for 30 minutes and it takes me 90 minutes to get to the class. *sigh* At least it's only for a few more weeks...then the real fun starts (taking Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2 this summer as well as Microbiology and Biochemistry...)!

On the plus side, we're seeing Alice in Wonderland tonight. And legal is coming up this weekend for a visit! And I only have 1 exam each week for the next 3 weeks (instead of multiple exams a week).

I really wish I would have seen this woman, I can't even participate in the conversation. Did this happen on Thursday night when I was still in Minnesota or was this Friday or Saturday night and I was just off doing something else at the bar? One of those nights my sister attacked me because I called her friend a crack whore, she was ****ed.

You were at the bar getting another drink when HN came running up to me thinking I'd be excited to see some drunk, loose, troll that I could sleep with. Obviously, I wasn't.

I take it you're not going to put in with Republic then? Or did they send the email?

As a last resort for inbetween...are you CFI tickets current? I know you don't make a lot, but it'll keep you current, just in case...

Wow. If you ever need to feel a little better about yourself, google streetview Detroit. That place is effing desolate. I obviously didn't come close to seeing the worst of it when I was there for GLI.

I was talking to a poster after the Hockey East tournament who said that he read that 40% of the houses in Detroit are abandoned and that there was a movement to level entire sections of the city.

Try Saginaw east of the Saginaw River.

Look in the area around 5th-20th Streets where they intersect Lapeer Avenue, Federal Avenue, etc. The area around Buena Vista Township is another winner. You'll notice there are parts of the city the camera van didn't even try to go into
