definitely no such thing as "overqualified" anymore. i hope you find something adamb100. could you spin your experience into magazine ad sales? i used to work at Cygnus in Fort Atkinson and they hire a lot of people for that. Inside Sales would be the best way to get started, and they offer a lot of upward movement from there.

well, happily moving forward in the career. after only a phone interview, i was just offered a job working at a State Park not in Wisconsin. minimum wage and seasonal stinks, but it's great experience and a recommendation from the boss after the season would go a very long way to landing full-time work. after the season i'll sign up for the Police Academy. fortunately no age maximum that i've found yet. an LE plus all the education/certifications i have, provided i do a good job this summer, and i'm a top candidate for a full-time Ranger position even in this economy.

i've heard CostCo makes a terrific sheet cake. stick a He-Man and Wonder Woman action figure on there and i'd say you're good.

happy birthday Ueck! i became a Brewers fan because of him. usually the Brewers were losing badly, and he'd only half-heartedly call the games because it didn't matter at that point, and he'd start telling a story. in a way, Uecker was at his best when the Brewers were at their worst. if anybody has kept baseball alive in Milwaukee it hasn't been as much Bud Selig or Mark Attanasio, but Bob Uecker. -
closest i've come is watching him come onto the field in a golf cart as he opened Winston-Salem's new baseball stadium. still my favourite part of that whole day, though.
-
i hope he doesn't because i don't see any reason he should. a consistently awesome pitcher, and probably underappreciated League-wide only because he played on some pretty awful Astros teams. he's probably the hero of every undersized minor league pitcher out there.
-
yeah, i wouldn't concern yourself too much. he knows the focus is on you two and if he starts feeling down i'm sure he'll have enough consideration to go outside and separate himself from everyone else. but i suppose if he's completely out of it and couldn't handle it (understandable), that unless he's your Best Man, you could offer to let him step out of his role.

i managed a Subway for a lot of years. if you don't put the vegetables in the center of the sandwich they tend to fall out when you close it. some of it also has to do with the experience of the worker--an experienced one would be able to do a better job of spreading out the toppings. How to tell an experienced Subway worker from a new one? tell them all the toppings you want at once--if they remember it all, they've been around for a while. i often would ask customers to do that because nothing slows up a line more than a customer who asks for one topping, waits for me to put it on, and then asks for the next one. ---------------------------- not bugging me: had a phone interview this morning for a job that i want and i have previous experience at every job duty. the experience should play well since they'll be shortstaffed. bugging me: i asked if he had any reservations about my application that i hadn't addressed. "No, everything was great, although you forgot to sign the application form." cripes. and if it were a 'no big deal' kind of thing, he probably wouldn't have mentioned it. and there were 10 other parks i applied to, meaning i probably also forgot to sign those, so of course now i wonder if that got my application booted from those places on any "if it's not signed we can't accept the application" rule. edit: yep, "unsigned applications will not be processed." dangit. still technically time to re-apply, though.

it's sad such amazing talent often comes with an equal share of personal demons. unquestionably one of the best actors around.

Tanaka to Yankees - 7/$155MM + $20MM posting fee
GAME05 replied to JohnBriggs12's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
after Kei Igawa and Hideki Irabu (rip), i thought the Yankees said they weren't much interested in paying top dollar for Japanese talent anymore. guess that didn't last long. -
Smart???? so i take it that Kohl's thinking is "who's the most NBA-ready right now?" but the Bucks would be fools to take Smart anywhere other than #4-6. not to mention this team doesn't need an immediate contributor--that's 8th Seed thinking yet again. it's one thing if they took Wiggins and he turned out to be a bust. that i can understand. but at the worst, they're drafting #3 in the best draft in 20 years. if they blow this, Kohl should be run out out town on a rail the way Selig was. is Kohl thinking they could package an early pick and Sanders for a fistful of late-first-rounders?

...not to mention Exxum from Australia. if we have decent coaching, maybe another small-but-smart roster move, and assuming the draft pick has all-star talent, Milwaukee has the makings of being a pretty good team for a long time. it's going to be epic to see how Kohl and Hammonds manage to screw it up.

once i land my career job, i think i'd like to live in a tent year-round instead of an apartment.

Clayton Kershaw Extension - 7 Years $215 Million
GAME05 replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
can we finally just split the League so just the rich teams play against each other so that the rest of us finally have a chance to compete? -
yeah, that'll go over well.
-
having your name on a job board means every scam company in the world calls you. yet being on unemployment means you can't decline interviews or job offers. edit: yep. have an interview tomorrow for some cold-calling finance job.

ok, i'm sweating slightly less now. doing some initial research it sounds like they look at the work logs and are seeing basically if you're making a good-faith effort to look for work, which i'm certainly doing, even though i've done a poor job of logging everything. through digging i'll be able to show most of the many jobs i've applied to, although my application dates may well be way off (which mostly what makes me sweat). instead of four per week exactly, it might be eight one week and zero the next, though this is against the rules. unemployment has changed a bit recently, and i think for the better. there's a mandatory 10th week meeting where i guess they go over computer skills and take a look at your resume and whatnot, and talk to you about how great a resource the Wisconsin Job Center is and all that.
-
i've seen one mock draft board that had the Bucks taking Joel Embiid with the #2. but most of the others agreed with patrick, that Parker is the best player and you be foolish to pass up drafting the best player. if you're a team that's so bad as to be drafting in the Top 3, you're probably overestimating your talent level if you're worried about a draft pick getting blocked by a current roster member. i mean, Fielder was drafted when we still had Overbay and Hart was already a good 1B prospect, but it seemed to have worked out well.
-
come on, I remember him retiring from pitching years ago.
-
who knows about Wisconsin unemployment? vacation meant not maintaining four job applications per week as required. i have a mandatory meeting coming which includes turning in my application logs. do they go so far as to call a selection of companies to check my application date or something? needless to say, i have a lot of applications to fill out this week.

good luck to your father, Baldkin. i started off with the Kanger EVOD, but because i found a better one at a bargain, i quickly moved up to a Vamo V5. though if you were considering one, the MVP kit is probably the best value out there right now so long as you don't mind something that looks like an Altoids tin.

just wanted to post an update. i got my electronic cigarette three weeks ago (better than the gas station kind) and it completely eliminated my desire for real cigarettes. i haven't had one since.

there's the Brewers board on Reddit. not sure what the conversation is like, but at least you won't have to deal with tons of advertising inhibiting the posts. i know a few bf.netters are there.

electric toothbrushes are way better.
