Re: fantasyfootball2k6
not a bad little draft. the computer doesn't make the greatest pics (priest holmes, curtis martin) but there's talent spread across the teams.  Miracle 'Gro will git-r-done in a few weeks.

Ld11-
+1k, a corona football and an old blue tshirt.

For those of you on the board that may think this is cool....I applaud your ability to make people like me hate you.

Here's a treat http://www.rdfn.org/otakon2004/01%20friday/index.html

Yes, People were walking around the city of Baltimore like this.....a city where if you wander off a block or two from the convention center you are in the middle of crack city and are likely to be in trouble if you are dressed normal.

It drafted Jimmy Smith for Reno. Well Jimmy Smith is a heck of a receiever you might say......too bad he retired, which reminded me of this scene from Major League.....

Indians Owner- I think you'll find that this is a team that can compete for the American League Championship.

Indians Partner- 1/2 these guys names I don't recognize and the other 1/2 are way past their prime....

Indians GM- This guy here is dead!

Indians Owner- Cross him off the list then!

So a week ago, MR received a letter (done on very nice resume paper with everyting you could possibly imagine for accomidations etc.) from ND telling her that her 5 year reunion was coming up next year.....We got into it about how I thought she was joking she actually wanted to go. " I thought it was a joke...I wrote it down in my diary and laughed about it later".  ...Seriously, MR was a cool kat back in college, she had like a million friends and I can understand why she wants to go back.  Does Reg need to go with, though??....Why should I have to be the eye candy that makes the bling and the bling....why can't she just bring a picture of me holding benjamins or something???

Anywho....Reg gets this gem of an EMAIL today, and immediately BOL.
"Dear Regulator-

Your 5th reunion will be here sooner than you think. Get back together with the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Class of 2002. Start on your reunion group page, where friends and fellow alumni can gather to share news, photos, and more. Reunion day will be here before you know it—"

Give me a break.  I wouldn't go to that RPI reunion if they PAID ME!!!  In fact, I wouldnt go unless they chartered me a flight and made me the offer to be the athletic director!

[PBR...]

reg stay at home and have a boat/football weekend (assuming its in the fall sometime....) nothing to do out there but watch the corn grow....

'Gro,
I have to disagree 100% on one thing...

I would highly doubt that anyone 'normal' enough to be an acquaintance, or further more, FRIEND of mine in college would ever waste their time going back for the RPI Reunion.  The 5 year Doom Champions Reunion.  All it is are people who still have no friends.

Anyone I care about from RPI I still see or atleast talk to from time to time.  And that's a long line of about 3-4 people.

[Knightstalker]

So Knightstalker goes to a Military/Veteran friendly job fair in the city yesterday.  KS wonders why the hell he did this today.  Half the recruiters there couldn't spell IT if you spotted them the I and the T.  

Q:  Are there any IT positions available?

A:  Uh, not sure if we have an IT department.  (hands KS a brochure)  Go to this website and search for open jobs.

This was the stock answer for almost every company there.

KS could have a job today if he wants to go to Kuwait or Iraq and monitor EDI and other systems from a tent.

KS could get a job with the TSA as an airport screener making 13.90 per hour at JFK.  And they wonder why airport security is so crappy in this country.

KS could be going to Tractor Trailer driving school within two weeks if he wanted to.

The only company that really spent time talking to people is a placement firm that only deals with ex-military.  The guys took time to talk to everyone, find out what they were looking for.  They took resumes and then handed out cards with the name, number and email address of the person specializing in they should contact on Monday.

The best part of the day was being at Rockefeller Center for lunch time.  Dirt water dogs and scantilly clad women running back and forth.

KS,

FMJT was there with her company.  She works in HR.  Was the job fair on 54th and 6th?  The main problem with these fairs (with the exception of FMJT) is everybody is so dumb these days.  All most HR people do know is push paper they have little knowledge of departments within their own company.

What you might want to try is
Jobsbyfax.  They fax your resume to decision makers in an area that you pick.  Pay once and they'll keep faxing until you get a job.  It helped FMJT and a few of JT's friends thus far

[Knightstalker]

JT, who was FMJT with, that was the job fair KS was at if she was at the Hilton.  I might have talked to her and not realized it.

Reg, KS was a consultant on a long term contract when he got laid off.  KS was trying to avoid consulting if possible but it is looking like it is time to start taking short term assignments again.  KS used to travel but wants to avoid it if possible.

Question of the day...

What is the TSA doing with all the "liquids and gels" that they are confiscating at america's airports? Do they throw it away? Give it to the homeless (they could use the cologne)?, inspect it and sell it back to travelers?  'gro wants to know.

[PBR...]

flavored k-y lube abounds in the back rooms and warehouses of tsa....
