Awesome dude. That's a big step for sure. Best of luck!

Thanks man. Can't cross my fingers any tighter that I get it.

Felt like I crushed the interview. Checked every box they needed. The president of the company visited right before I left and mentioned that he had spoken with some of my past instructors who raved about my work ethic and material understanding. Was told I would hear something "sooner than later."

Getting started with a new job this week at a bagel shop.

Also, finally managed to break a 3.0 (3.125 to be exact) GPA this semester. Should have been higher, but I shit the bed in the easiest class I had (didn't bother buying the meaningless workbook for Music Appreciation :laugh:), but whatever.

Still hyped...

I started working 40 hours (full-time) on Monday the 6th. I got my paycheck this past week which was for the two weeks before that and they payed me as if I was working 40 hours instead of the 25 hours that I was doing. Pretty much an extra $300 or so.

I know I should probably say something about it but....ehhh....

BwareDWare94  : (25 May 2013 - 10:49 PM) I think I'd actually root for Miami if the Spurs get there. I hate Parker and Ginobili so much.
Bay  : (25 May 2013 - 10:50 PM) :sigh: fucking hate SA so much
Bay  : (25 May 2013 - 10:51 PM) Rooting for Miami hard in that instance :smug:
BigBen07  : (25 May 2013 - 10:51 PM) Why? they're not the Lakers or Boston.
BradyFan81  : (25 May 2013 - 10:51 PM) Spurs are a good basketball team, they deserve it :shrug:
seanbrock  : (25 May 2013 - 10:52 PM) nah the Spurs are an old gritty veteran team with a good coach
BwareDWare94  : (25 May 2013 - 10:52 PM) WHY DO THEY GIVE PARKER THAT CALL?
seanbrock  : (25 May 2013 - 10:52 PM) I like the Spurs
seanbrock  : (25 May 2013 - 10:52 PM) Every team in the NBA playoffs gets touchy calls
seanbrock  : (25 May 2013 - 10:52 PM) not just the Spurs.
BwareDWare94  : (25 May 2013 - 10:53 PM) They don't deserve them with a minute left in overtime, sean.
seanbrock  : (25 May 2013 - 10:53 PM) Hell, James harden shoots at least like 12 ft's a game
Bay  : (25 May 2013 - 10:53 PM) Was that a loose ball foul on Dunca?
BwareDWare94  : (25 May 2013 - 10:53 PM) and Mike Conley couldn't have gotten that call.
seanbrock  : (25 May 2013 - 10:53 PM) That's just the NBA though man
seanbrock  : (25 May 2013 - 10:54 PM) That's why so many people would rather watch college ball
BwareDWare94  : (25 May 2013 - 10:54 PM) That might be, but they don't normally get that shit with a minute left.
seanbrock  : (25 May 2013 - 10:55 PM) much more of a team game. There aren't as many primadona's and the officiating is under control
McTater  : (25 May 2013 - 10:55 PM) :corn:
56AceInDaPlace  : (25 May 2013 - 10:55 PM) Memphis blew it. they had a stupid possession on the last shot in regulation
seanbrock  : (25 May 2013 - 10:56 PM) I
seanbrock  : (25 May 2013 - 10:56 PM) I'm telling you though. Tim Duncan is going out with a ring this year. I can feel it
seanbrock  : (25 May 2013 - 10:57 PM) Pretty safe to say he's the best big man of our generation. I'd take him allllll day long over Shaq
McTater  : (25 May 2013 - 10:58 PM) :cheesehead:
seanbrock  : (25 May 2013 - 10:58 PM) Shaq is an egotistical asshole, just like Kobe, but Duncan is a quiet, humble team player who comes to play when it matters most
seanbrock  : (25 May 2013 - 10:59 PM) I realize Duncan is a PF and not a C but still he's the best big man of our generation
seanbrock  : (25 May 2013 - 10:59 PM) since 1999
Barracuda  : (25 May 2013 - 10:59 PM) SEAN
Barracuda  : (25 May 2013 - 10:59 PM) Diplomacy orders :yep:
seanbrock  : (25 May 2013 - 10:59 PM) Ginobili though...is definitely a flopper
seanbrock  : (25 May 2013 - 11:00 PM) I'll be home from the hospital tomorrow
Barracuda  : (25 May 2013 - 11:00 PM) oh
Barracuda  : (25 May 2013 - 11:00 PM) nevermind then
Barracuda  : (25 May 2013 - 11:00 PM) Diplomacy orders when you are no longer hospitalized
BLUE  : (25 May 2013 - 11:01 PM) Duncan over Shaq? Hmm, I dunno.
Tridentdawgp...  : (25 May 2013 - 11:01 PM) I should probably do those, too...:shifty:
Tridentdawgp...  : (25 May 2013 - 11:01 PM) Haven't even seen your last update
Barracuda  : (25 May 2013 - 11:02 PM) yes you should
Tridentdawgp...  : (25 May 2013 - 11:02 PM) This has probably been the most hectic week ever for me
McTater  : (25 May 2013 - 11:02 PM) :party:
dutchff7  : (25 May 2013 - 11:02 PM) BLUE : (26 May 2013 - 12:01 AM) Duncan over Shaq? Hmm, I dunno.
Phailadelphia+  : (25 May 2013 - 11:03 PM) Shaq >>>>> Duncan, and Duncan is probably a top 10-15 all-time. Shaq was THAT GOOD.
BradyFan81  : (25 May 2013 - 11:06 PM) It's pretty close
BLUE  : (25 May 2013 - 11:10 PM) Gimme Shaq.
BLUE  : (25 May 2013 - 11:10 PM) He was pretty much unstoppable in Orlando and LA.
dutchff7  : (25 May 2013 - 11:10 PM) Shaq all day.
dutchff7  : (25 May 2013 - 11:11 PM) One of the most dominant players of all time
BLUE  : (25 May 2013 - 11:11 PM) Absolutely.
BLUE  : (25 May 2013 - 11:16 PM) Cuda, you dirty rat.
BradyFan81  : (25 May 2013 - 11:25 PM) I was really young when Shaq was 3-peating with LA and dominating every playoff game
