Me too friend
Transcript from lawyer David Cornwell speaking on CNN regarding Kraft:
"IT'S UNFORTUNATE. I WAS A LAWYER IN THE NFL OFFICE FOR COMMISSIONER PETE ROZEL AND DURING THAT PERIOD I WORKED WITH COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL.
THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED, THE ATTACK THAT MR. KRAFT JUST LODGED AT THE NFL OFFICE BECAUSE MORE THAN THE WORDS AND MORE THAN THE FACTS, WHAT HE JUST DID WAS QUESTION THE INTEGRITY OF THE PEOPLE THAT RUN THE LEAGUE. THAT'S TROUBLESOME TO ME BECAUSE I DON'T THINK HE'S RIGHT.
YOU HAVE TWO EMPLOYEES THAT TAKES BALLS INTO THE BATHROOM. YOU HAVE THE BALLS TESTED AT HALFTIME AND THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PATRIOTS' BALLS AND THE COLTS' BALLS. YOU HAVE TOM REFUSING TO COOPERATE WITH THE INVESTIGATION AND DESTROYING EVIDENCE.
AND HE SAYS THERE'S NO HARD EVIDENCE. WELL, IT'S RARE THAT YOU HAVE A SMOKING GUN IN A CASE. IT IS WHAT'S MORE LIKELY THAN NOT. AND IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT IN THIS CASE BASED ON THE FACTS THAT SOMEBODY CHEATED.
AND WHETHER IT'S A BALL, STEROIDS OR FIXING GAMES, YOU CAN'T CHEAT IN PROFESSIONAL SPORTS. THAT'S WHY THE NFL HAS HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF FANS WORLDWIDE.
YOU CAN'T CHEAT.
AND WHEN YOU FIND CHEATERS, YOU'VE GOT TO COME DOWN ON THEM HARD FOR TWO REASONS -- ONE, TO DETER CHEATING BY ANYBODY AND, TWO, TO PROTECT ALL THE GUYS THAT PLAY THE GAME AND DON'T CHEAT.
THIS WAS WRONG BY ROBERT KRAFT. I DON'T AGREE THAT THE BASIS FOR THIS IS THAT SOMEBODY IN THE LEAGUE OFFICE HAS NO INTEGRITY. IT'S BECAUSE THEY HAVE A DISPUTE OVER THE FACTS. AND IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE."

Look at the bright side, at least I'm not a Cowboy/Colt/Pat fan.
Prove it.
It's a hot and beautiful day, you ugly ass sparrow. Just waiting for this weekend.

Why in the world would I choose being a fake Jags fan out of any other team, there are no benefits.
Fuck. Leg. Day.
clearly not, since i got a laptop that cost the same amount as a macbook pro.

Company called a surprise meeting this morning because we mysteriously got paid a week and a half early. "We can't really say a whole lot right now but it is VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU CASH THIS CHECK IMMEDIATELY." Bankruptcy coming on Friday, it looks like. Should be fun!
So that we treat you better because you're a "fan" of a team no one cares about.

The burn is real, but it's just confirmation that you did serious work!

Thanks, bros! I'm not too worried about it, no point worrying over what you can't control.
One is in Greenville, South Carolina, the other is in Denver. I just hope one of the two works out, haha.
Coal mining... Thankfully both interviews are with companies in different industries.

Greenville seems like a really cool little city, it has won all kinds of awards for the downtown and surrounding areas plus it's pretty cheap and isn't too far from my relatives. That said, it's still in the same region I'm used to and Denver just seems so much more adventurous, plus I've always been fascinated by the Rocky Mountains. I'm not much of a big city person but I think Denver is one city I would really love. It's a tough call but I'm just focusing on getting an offer before I worry too much about where I'd rather end up!
Its too bad your company wasnt working out because damn, you are near Asheville and Skyline Drive/Blue Ridge Parkway and just one of the most beautiful parts of the US.

Greenville is basically in the same region! It's actually closer to Asheville than Kingsport plus it's a much nicer city.
This is less than an hour away:
i have no reason to use it but it seems cool

I've been waiting for years for you to start your own multi-billion dollar enterprise and hire me but you are slacking.
I will probably be in Denver next April. If stars align, I'll buy you a beer if we are both there.
