frontier league.

He also played for the Rockford Riverhawks a couple seasons. Nice league. Our team got bounced from their stadium lease and we are now in a new league, I forget the name. 5 Texas and 1 LA team.

 

That's going to be a fun summer.

Writing for the local paper.

Hey Tex can I quit my job and come work there? Is rent high??

This is just a temp summer job and we provide room and board.

Either stocking at a liquor store or interning at the Sun Times. Or both.

I am interning at Sporting News Radio and coaching a travel baseball team.

Same job I do during the winter. Explain why a gazillion amps blew up a 1/2W resistor.

really. good stuff. getting clips at this stage is the most important thing. are you interning, or getting paid? not that it matters at this point, other than in your checkbook.

Game day operations for the Fort Wayne Wizards

 

and I interviewed to work at a golf shop today too.

Working at Domino's Pizza and possibly as a lifeguard for the Winnetka Park District

Second summer as a lowly paid sports writer.

that's cool, though. everyone has to start somewhere.

 

i started interning at this crappy weekly on the southside. wrote obits, little league roundups and a bunch of other meh. but the experience was valuable, and no doubt helped me get my first professional job after i graduated. i ended up moving to ohio and was assistant sports editor and sports editor at two newspapers in central ohio before i left the biz last may.

 

i love journalism, and i still freelance from time-to-time. it's just a difficult lifestyle to have when you have kids.

 

anyway, not like i'm the be all, end all or anything but i was good at what i did. if you ever need anything regarding the biz, hit me up on a pm or something.

Will do. Always pays to know people.

Sounds cool. I'm actually moving to Spring, TX in late June/early July and will be 21 as of seven days from now. Looks as if I may have a job lined up at Texas City, though.

I'm gonna be an usher, literally getting paid to watch baseball and yell at kids. Should be awesome.

Shouldn't Brian get paid when he watches baseball with you?? It's basically the same thing as you just described.

If you can get permission from my wife for me, I'm your man!

Umpiring at getting a good 50 bucks per game, 2 games a day, 4-5 days a week.

This summer I'll be working security at the new Chicago Fire Stadium in Bridgeview. Also, depending on scheduling conflicts with my other job/school, I may work security at Soldier Field.

 

It's actually a fairly light gig. Not certain of my exact duties besdies ushering, patrolling grounds and writing incident reports, but the job is typically one or two days a week. All dependent upon the Chicago Fire schedule, or whether there's a concert. I know fo shizzle I"ll be there for the B96 Summer bash!!!!@11

They treated employees like s***.

My cousin worked there about 10 years ago and said it was perhaps the funnest job he ever held. Mentioned several times how his friends and him would typically steal hundreds of dollars from their post every week. As well as hitting on women all day while not doing much work at all.

 

Guess things changed from the time he worked and you did.
