The good thing about this new job if I get it, would actually end of being an increase in pay, so at least there is something to kinda look forward to.

Thanks, guys. Basically our whole group got laid off. Remeber how I was telling you guys how slow we were after they outsourced a lot of our stuff? Well they tried to bring more stuff to us and it fell through, so the only option was to cut our whole group. This happened on Wednesday. So I started calling people and got a interview lined up that will more than likely pay a whole more than my last job. If I get it, I will start next week on Thursday or Friday.
It will pay anywhere between $25 - $35 an hour and will require travelling as well. My cousin hooked me up with the interview, so I hope I get this one. If not there are a few more jobs that I may be able to get also.

It sounds like it! If I get it, then I would be doing desktop support for a small oil company. They have 2 floors at the Crescant Building in downtown. I would also work a little bit on the servers their too.
The best part about the whole thing is, if I get the job, then I report to my cousin. So I know that I won't have to put up with a lot of BS.

I work for our family business and would never work for anybody else, well, unless the other job paid more than I could imagine, but, you get the idea.
Hope all goes well!

Well Guys and Gal . . . .
This has been a very interesting thread. It started out to get some Acura guys together and talk about cars . . . well, it seems that this thread has be hijacked!
It seems we've talked just about everything . . . and we've all been accepting and respectful of everyone.
I think that has been the main reason we've survived on this thread as long as we have. I look forward to having more meets of various kinds, but I do have my limits, but it won't change my being here.
Here's to the best overall thread on Acurazine ever!

Choppers Final Thoughts
to the longest, largest ongoing thread in Acura-CL/TL/TSX.com / AcuraZine History.
Because of this thread:
I met Ruf, Mantits , Civic, ATXCLS, Funkeetown in real life, while coming to pic up various things in Dallas.
I left my Digital Camera at _____name that resteraunt/bar, and Mantis was awesome enought o go back and get it, and ship it back to me Which I still owe him a beer for
I will be coming to Dallas to attend another first of it's kind meet, the 'rave' meet, and finally meet some of the other Dallas area folks that are realtively new to the thread.
Have seen and talked about all kinds of good cars, and overall good stories, yet some tragic.
Overall I think the people here are great, and people from all over have visited this thread, even as to say they had a part in this historic thread.
We now go onto a new voyage with the start of the new "dallas" thread.
To everyone who posts regularly here, it's been an honor to share it with you guys, and I'll see you on the other side.

Nice post.
I don't like this thread ending but I guess I just feel comfortable here. Like anything goes and folks will be supportive. I miss all the trips we took to the dyno shops and the 1/4 strip, however. That was pretty damn fun! Lots of talk, bragging rights, and pictures! Best of times for me.

Well, I guess that it is time for my
Lets see, where to begin. Ahh yes, at the meet of which we cannot remember the restaurant name. Sareenah (ahhh, the lovely S, I got over her with the help of Andy-GQ) and I drove up that crappy rainny day to have lunch. That day I got to meet Chops, Chop's friend (sorry it has been a while!), Ruf, and Mantis-i'd say we had an awesome lunch besides the fact that it was pouring.
Anyways, after that, I was hooked-had many more meets and met many more people-Funkee, inferno, and drew just to mention a few.
I'd venture to say that, cars were conversed, ladies were loved, and the drinks were drank.
All in all, one hell of a ride, and it is just only now beginning!!
Here's to the retiring of this thread and the beginning of a new legend!

Anyway, we'll have at least 7-8 tournaments, with the first two this month alone. For just the older son! Three counting the younger.
At least August looks some what free . . other than the Qualifying Tournament in early August,
So let's figure out when we can do the Thermobloc meet.
