  1. I knew before applying that more than likely both jobs would have interactions with each other at some point. I had orientation for the job I accepted this morning. My first day is Monday and we will be meeting with Job B. I still haven't heard anything from Job B but I guess they're going to find out I accepeted a job elsewhere on Monday.
  2. I got a job offer from Job A and accepted it last week. I also have an application out there for Job B at a place I've wanted to work at for almost 10 years. I haven't heard anything from Job B but I think I've got a good shot at it. I really wasn't all that interested in Job A until the interview when they basically they told me I could work whatever schedule I wanted and almost seemed to bend over backwards to get me to take it. My question is if Job B wants to interview me do I take it knowing full well probably the only way I would take the job would be if they offer me the same schedule? I don't want to waste their time but I also want them to know that I would love to work there but right now having that flexibly of schedule fits better with my family.
  3. I'm not surprised by a lack of professional pitchers from Wisconsin. Unless you go to State you're only going to pitch in a handful of games with a temperature or windchill above 40 during your high school career. Just terrible conditions to try to pitch in. And if you play for one of the high level traveling teams in the summer your arm's probably going to be shot from abuse by the time you get to college. And if you play college ball in Wisconsin you'll have the same weather to deal with along with competing for innings against all the guys your coach recruited from warm weather states who are much further developed.

  5. That's some Cardinals level thinking from Willy. Let's also not forget about the Pirates constantly throwing at Braun for years after he "pimped" a game winning homer against them. I can't even remember the last time the Brewers threw at someone (maybe McClung against the Cardinals?) but teams sure love to throw at us.

  7. Just got a free year of Peacock so I've been watching Nitro starting about 1997. Man Hall, Nash, and Hogan were so great at what they did with the NWO.
  8. ROH tanked when the Elite left. The same guys that started AEW. I think there's enough juice for some money making storylines right there while still showcasing whoever's left. Heck, this may all tie in to whatever is going on with Cody right now.
  9. Tony Khan bought ROH. I think this was the most likely outcome when they announced their hiatus. I'm interested to see what he does with it. I hope he keeps it and AEW as two separate companies with limited crossover.
  10. I was just adjusting my resume to apply for a job when I noticed a spelling error. I sent the resume I was working on out last week so I immediately went back to the email I sent it in to see if the spelling error was there too. Yup. Great.
  11. The two places I look for jobs are Indeed and my local COC's website. When I started looking in October I'd almost never see the same job posted in both places. Over the last couple months I'm now seeing a job posted one place and then a couple weeks later posted in the other or posted again entirely. That tells me they're not getting many or any applicants.
  12. A couple weeks ago I was having lunch at Noodles and a woman probably in her early 20's was getting interviewed at a table near us. She was wearing sweatpants and slippers.
  13. Speaking of guys switching companies, can't say I saw anything special about Keith Lee. Never saw him before but I guess he was a guy that fans loved in NXT and WWE dropped the ball with him. All he did was throw a guy around for 5 minutes and the only reason it looked good was because his opponent was athletic and weighs about 160 pounds. I don't think he did an actual wrestling move the whole match.
  14. One thing about the whole Cody situation is it seems somewhat sudden. Brandi just started an angle and yesterday AEW released a podcast with Cody. He seems like a real go-getter who's more interested in starting than sustaining. He helped start AEW and 3 years in it's time to move on and start something else so I don't see him going to WWE especially after the things he's said about the company since he left. Maybe he'll go to Ring of Honor and help them get going again.
  15. Cody Rhodes left AEW. It's assumed he's going back to WWE. Seems like a weird move for him if he does. He's also talked about not wanting to wrestle much longer so maybe he's retiring.
  16. You could send your resume and cover letter to 10 hiring mangers and get 10 totally different opinions ranging from "it's horrible" to "when can you start". It's like trying to play a game but you don't know any of the rules.
  17. I've been doing a semi-serious job search since about October. I'm seeing lots of openings but I'd say 75% of them are manufacturing, retail/service, and health care - things I'm either not qualified for or not interested in. I do most of my searching on Indeed but our Chamber of Commerce website does have a good number of listings and I've found other chambers do a good job of that too. I look at the Wisconsin Job Center website every now and then but so much of what they have are postings from employment agencies that it's not worth my time. I've tried looking at jobs on LinkedIn but all I find are manager postings for retail and fast food places and then high level jobs for national corporations which I'll never get nor am I even qualified for. I'll confirm that Indeed is the best I've found.
  18. Shane McMahon was released today because of how he took control of the Rumble and messed it up.
  19. Macho and Eddie. I don't think Benoit ever won it but that's my guess for the third.
  20. The Rumble could be the best PPV of the year by far, but they ruined it years ago by guaranteeing the winner a shot at a championship title at Wrestlemania which eliminates all but about 4-5 entrants. There's an old saying in marketing that "predictability is the enemy of engagement", and when you know that 25 of the 30 entrants have no chance that increases the predictability. Can't really do anything about the leaks, that's the media doing their job. If you want to make money, bet on the favorite the morning of the event. I think one of the best ones was in the late 90's when the tide was starting to turn from WCW to WWE and they grabbed a couple of guys who were just released from WCW the week leading up to the Rumble. They didn't even have entrance music for the WCW guys. Other than the times the winner wins a vacated championship hasn't it always been that way?
  21. You probably checked to many boxes on what they wanted or not enough take your pick. If it was a corporate job they are probably looking for someone who is overly experienced or not experienced at all even though they probably had something like 3-5 years of experience required. Corporations are still treating everyone like it is 2008 when there wasn't a shortage in labor and they could get people who were overqualified but yet pay them the same rate as someone who has no experience. The tables have flipped now but the large corporate jobs are struggling to change their ways as they are just stuck in 2008 still. I can't decide what is worse in corporate America is it IT or is it HR. They are both bad but I think corporate HR is over taking corporate IT here in uselessness. It wasn't a corporate job at all. It was with a museum and they were looking for specific experience that I have that I can't believe many people in the area have. And this was not a job someone would relocate for. The only two "red flags" I can see are that my degree isn't in the area they're looking for (but my work experience in the field should trump that) and that I am probably over qualified for what they are looking for. But I fail to see how either of those things should take me out of the running.
  22. After using all 5 of my degrees of Kevin Bacon I finally found a contact there. Turns out they filled the position. A week later and they still haven't responded to my email asking if the position was open. Extremely frustrated by the lack of communication and dumbfounded that I didn't even get an interview.
  23. This is an absolute train wreck (in a good way) interview with Chuck Taylor, Trent, and Orange Cassidy.
