Yeah, so... most, if not all of you know I work in TV. 

Anyway, last week I flew up and interviewed for a job at ESPN.  I was impressed with them, and I believe they were impressed with me... and I'm pretty sure there's an offer coming this week.  If the offer's good enough to warrant uprooting the fam... I intend to break the color barrier and move to Connecticut.  As far as what I do (Newscast Directing)... this is pretty much the "big leagues" and there's sooooo many more opportunities for growth than there are at my current shteinhole station.  Awesome career opportunity.  I know a few people who work there and they co-sign everything that I've been hearing.  Love what they do.

Not to mention the timing couldn't be much better as my station have implemented furloughs (1st and 2nd Qtr) and pay cuts (3rd Qtr), laying off people all around me... and while my position appears safe for now... gotta be proactive about these things.  ESPN is doing relatively well, as they are still not only adding to their facilities, but adding jobs.

Anyway... this shtein was just on my mind while wishing I wasn't here at work.  You all care, farg you.

Sounds like it could be your dream job.

Yeah Feva, good luck, it sounds like it would be a very nice step up. I think I can speak for everyone here in wishing you the all best in getting the job, because you might be able to score us some free tix

...and black holes with the power to hurl suns bigger than ours 10's of millions of miles per hour through space.

Now, that's farging amazing.

The object wasn't earth sized.  The dust cloud created by the impact is.

That shtein always fascinates and amazes me.

I agree btw IGY, it isn't uncommon for large things to crash into Jupiter, owing to its gravitational field. It is two and a half times the mass of all the other planets combined. The sun on the other hand,  comprises about 99.9% of the mass of the entire solar system.

Does anyone here use an Apple Powerbook?  I was thinking of getting one and was curious if anyone here used them and if they think they're better than a standard PC.

So I hop my flight from IAH to PHL tonight to come home for my grandfathers funeral and it was an interesting one.

First we were delayed by an hour for various reasons. Our plane came late from Portland, had a gate change, and then had to wait for luggage. We take off an hour later.

Then I get this cow who sits in the aisle seat. I moved from my exit row aisle seat because I had a middle neighbor to an empty exit row window seat. This chick moves because she was in a middle seat and her hips/ass would not fit so she takes the aisle seat so she can leave the arm rest up. She was 19 and I got her whole goddamn life story. Female version of Candy in P T & A.

Total white trash from Lousiana. Talkin about her boyfriend and how jealous he is because she has a girlfriend too. Talks about how the boyfriend sucks in bed. Tells me how her boyfriends ex-girlfriend farged his brothers and father.

My plane had DirecTV on it. First plane I have been on where Continental had the installation complete. I paid the $6 and started watching Baseball TOnight and Rocky Balboa trying to drown her out. It worked for awhile until I got up and took a leak. Ugh.

Glad that is over.

so white trash can sniff their own? do you guys play white trash geography like jews play jewish geography? did you swap stories of life in trailer park? did she know munson?
