Well I got a new job, a big person job in one of those not-so-fancy cubicles in a major company. I'm going to be an Expediter for BAE Systems, tracking incoming parts to build the assault and transport vehicles for the boys defending our country. $40k year, insane benefits, insane perks, crazy 401k. I just got back from my pee test and I passed with flying colors (you don't even KNOW the ordeal I've been through over that). My first day is Monday and I'm pretty excited. This is one hell of a pay raise for me and I can't even begin to crunch the numbers... come mid-spring expect a lot of teaser threads

I walk into the York store sometimes just for a laugh. No one at the home stuff like usual and some pimply faced 16 year old lookin at flipups for his sweet Celica out front. The guys all want to kill themselves and a lot of them now work at the AT&T store in the mall across the street.
