Queen Prawn

That's funny...lately there have been alot of posts at various Sox sites ripping on him and saying we should trade him...

That's the thing that worries me about PK. That hip thing can cause so many other problems (I watched my sister go through problem and problem that was related to a hip injury from when she was 10). If there is some way to avoid developing the injuries he's had (mostly foot injuries), I am hoping a full year will be like the first half of last year.

If it slows down anymore, it'll be in reverse!!

Hell, I'm 26 and my 31 yr old bf can't keep up with me...

Then what do you think of this? Ugh...I can feel my stomach flipping because of that...I have never understood the UK's obsession with frying all sorts of food.

AMEN!

Then he should have left last fall when he had the opportunity.

He was also quoting that from the time the fire hit the ceiling, they had 30 seconds to 1 minute to get out; if they didn't get out in that time frame, they probably didn't make it.

Yahoo was reporting otherwise...The band said they did request permission and the club okay's it. This will be another war of the words... Yahoo's coverage

I agree with ya! I am 26 and I am against this war. My bf on the other hand is 31 and for it; but he tried enlisting to the army and the marines but couldn't get in due to a lung disorder (if you tap on his chest, his lungs stand a good chance of collapsing - he's been through several collapsed lungs between the ages of 18 to the present).

No, they had a max. capacity of 300, but by all accounts there weren't that many people inside. When everyone paniced in there, they charged for only one of the 4 available exits. Also, the big problem was that there were no sprinkler systems. Coupled that with the fact that they do not have a liscence for a pyrotechnic display (probably because there were no sprinklers and the size of the building), the club managers/owners are in criminal as well as civil trouble. Bless those that perished and their families and friends. Sorry I don't have the link to the yahoo site. CNN Coverage Have the found the missing band member yet?

That sounds awfully suspicious. Were these really accidents or did something else happen to these planes?

When I graduated 2 years ago, engineering jobs sure were. Now with the economy the way it is and so many people looking for jobs, employers have become ultra-picky and want someone who has exactly what they are looking for (it used to be that they were willing to train you if you didn't have exactly what they were looking for - that certainly isn't the case now) - which is generally tons of experience and willing to work for little pay. I just talked to my ex-boss that was let go on 12/02/02 and he has had the same luck I have had - and he has been in engineering since the late 70s.

Try having 15K of student loans you are paying back due to putting yourself through school and then having your job shipped off to another country. My dad isn't from this country so I damn well know what it is like in other countries, I know how tough he had it and why he came here. Contrary to what you seem to believe, I have been busting my ass looking for a job. I lived through my parents not being able to find work for 2 years and having to make due with nothing and it f***ing sucked. I went to college because I like education and to make sure I didn't end up back where I was when I was a kid having to eat governent cheese, butter and half rotted fruits and veggies because it was what they could afford. I am not "crying about it" - I was venting, if you don't know the difference, that's your problem.

I am working with 3 of them (one at SRI -this group is a bit of a joke), Sterling Engineering and Adecco.

I've been thinking that as well. I wonder how long it will take before he has a press release calling the city all sorts of things and openly blaming them. Yes we do what your opinion HSC!! Please, do tell!

In my case, there is no way I can relocate at this time. My bf and I are remodeling his house with the intention of getting married one of these years and his job is too good to walk away from. Also, my sister is pregnant and she is going to need all the help she can get. I've done that - send out resumes blind to companies, that's how I got one of my 2 interviews. I have my resume plastered all over the internet, careerbuilder, monster, filpdog, hotjobs and a ton of engineering job boards and general job boards. I've known several companies that have posted ads at the above places even though they aren't hiring - that's what makes the job boards so frustrating - you never know if they are really looking for someone or just a bunch of resumes.

Was he the idiot that did that? My bf and I were discussing that at the hawks-Senators game we went to earlier this season. I asked him who changed it because I liked the old names better... I'd kill to see a probert-Domi fight -> those guys fight more than most hockey players (pro or minors) I've ever seen!

I started to get into hockey about 2 or 3 years ago. Another reason it is losing fans in the US is the idiot they have as commisioner. That guy couldn't get an some in NY to buy a shovel this weekend. A big screw up he had was not getting more hockey games on ESPN. That was the only way I got my hockey fix and now the games they televise are few and far between.

I was a little kid in 1981 when my dad lost his job (he worked at US Steel when it shut down). He ended up doing odd jobs and such for 2 years before he found steady employment, and damn, those were some really tough times - suprised my parents were able to hold their marriage together with all the difficulties they faced. Something my mom keeps telling me (she's even called me at work to remind me of this) "God never gives us more than He feels we can handle." She says that if God believes in her, she's gotta believe in herself. Funny part is my mom isn't religious at all, but I guess she is spiritual. My bf has a great job so he can (and has said that he will) be able to support us until I can get situated. My mom is in that age discrimination bracket and dealt with it about a year ago when they were going to give this chick who was less than half my mom's age a promotion to a position my mother earned and knew how to do better than that chick. I guess the company must have realized what could happen and no one got the promotion, but my mom has been taking on more responsibility and getting paid for it as well. I remember how disallusioned she got last year in regards to that.

I've been out of college for about 2 years now (I'm 26). Thankfully I am still employed, but not for much longer. The date given to me is 03/31, but since the company just released a profit warning it can just as easily be tomorrow. I am looking at actual engineering jobs, doc control type jobs, tech work, anything close to electrical engineering so I can get some kind of work that will still add to my skills set. I am at a point that I don't really care what the salary is so long as I have a job that has health and dental. The thing that scares the hell outta me is that my boss was fired/laid off 12/02/02 and another co-worker was laid off 10/25/02 and neither of them have found work and they have alot more experience than I do.

Please be aware I am going to cuss till I am blue in this post, so if that sot of thing is offensive close this post and spare me the lecture. I f***ING HATE CORPORATE AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou I am so f***ing sick of sending out resumes, interviewing, trying to bulls*** someone into hiring me for a job. That's why I hate interviewing, it isn't about what you know or how well you fit with the company, it's about who you know and who you blow. I am sick of the lack of response from these f***ing companies after I interview...is it so damned hard to email or leave a voicemail to let me know I didn't get the job - don't they realize that a little courtesy goes a long way?! I know, I know these mighty gods don't have the time to communicate, but yet they expect me to get on my knees and kiss their ass or blow them to get the chance to work at their damned company, a company that chances are, is falling into the toilet due to greedy CEOs and stupid decision makers. I am sick of companies posting phony job ads to collect resumes - the economy sucks and it's obvious that there are many out of work, do you really need to collect resumes that will be there in 6 months to a year when you actually open a req to hire someone. I am sick of them making it about salary; if they actually listen to the candidates, most, if not all, are will to negotiate. I am f***ing sick of companies saying they will call to do a 3rd interview with someone in another state as well as the person that would be my supervisor - if it can't be made on the date you told me, can't you email or call or something to let me know that it has been postponed or canceled instead of not calling at all? I am sick of watching CEOs running companies into the ground and when they leave getting millions of dollars for being total imbeciles. If the want, I can do the same thing in half the time and take half the money for doing it.

Why would any woman sleep with that? He looks as oily as he acts. I sure as hell know I wouldn't even give him a second look. hell, I wouldn't touch him with a 10 ft Pole or a 5 foot Mic...

Mine's Juicy Ass...

No biggie. As cwsox said, we all (except CLUJER - ) post things we regret from time to time. The most important thing is that you learned something from it. I wish more people had that ability (not referring to anyone here, just a general-about-the-world statement).
