Need to Apply
 

Kev,

Need you in Newburgh, IN. Apply at Victoria National if there is any openings. Need someone to get me on there, and not just for Mondays only.
;)

Kevin, don't know you but I know what it's like to get screwed out of a job, and I feel for you. Best of luck, if you go to Toga you have a friend in VT.

Sorry Kev, haven't talked to you much, but I"m in the same boat. I went from making 6 figures to not being able to get a $30000 the last 2 years. I have build 2 new golf courses in town with my good friend.
Nothing worst than sweating your ass off for $10 an hour watching all the rich business men out golfing, knowing that used to be you.

I feel it my duty to also offer you my couch in my one bedroom apartment. We can drive out to GLD and kill em!!!!!!!!

One good thing thus far to come from all this....I have a legit reason as to why I am self medicating with a 10lb bag of peanut M&M's:eek: :eek: :eek:

Thanks buddy...

sorry kev, hopefully, the horses will be kinder to ya!

LOL... I haven't gotten to that point yet. I haven't eaten a damn thing! :eek:

LOL...how long are we gonna be on the phone tonight????

No clue, babe... I'm supposed to talk to David tonight. :( Keep your fingers crossed for me...

Ya OK Cajun? If ya don't want to talk about it that is OK too. PM me if ya need someone to talk to. My bosses are all out of the office today. Sent mine to Stuart for a mediation. Since he lives up that way, he won't be in. FREEDOM!

Thanks Mark...really enjoyed meeting you as well. Look forward to seeing you at Colonial again soon.

sorry to hear the news kev. hopefully they gave you a decent package. head to south central NC, they have a ton of courses, and no doubt need help. my dad had two offers in the last couple days. best of luck to you!!

I told him to move out to the Charlotte area... if he does, we could be roommates. :cool: :D

Kev: yesterday I knew a guy who had the greatest job in the world! Today--ZIPPO... Bummed for you...but you've been through tougher. Like DTS says, when 1 door closes another opens! If you can enjoy the summer with your friends....Do it the work will be there when you need it BEST Tim

I might be in the same boat as Kev real soon. Real close to shouting out a big ole 'GFY' to the boss......

I will if you will:eek:

Lets go to Vegas for the rest of the year....WHAT:D

Thanks Deb....I'll rebound. Like I said earlier, I stared death in the face and kicked his ass last year, so this will be no problem.

I worked for a law firm in Charlotte and loved it there. There are about 20 golf courses there. The best one is Quail Hollow, but there are a ton of them. It used to be really cheap to live in Charlotte but it got more expensive in the last 2-3 yrs, but it is still cheap compared to most big cities. Great city if you like football and NASCAR. The lake is pretty nice too.

Scav just make sure you say GFY!!, sir!! The sir at the end shows proper respect.

I always dreamed of doing the Nicholas Cage "Leaving Las Vegas" thing, but in replace of all that alcohol, it would be gambling all day and night.

Oh ya, and no slutty hookers either. Thats just not my scene.

Just take all the money you could get your hands on and go on one crazy binge in Vegas.

You guys would be lying if you told me you dont think about this from time to time? Especially Scavs.

I am cutting greens at my local course 1 mile down the road for extra income and not to mention free golf at this course. By the time we are done around 9am or so man I am whooped. While I was in college I worked summers at Muirfield's sister course, The Country Club at Muirfield and man let me tell ya on a hot summer day when you are digging, chopping whatever it is you work up a serious sweat.

You have made enough contacts, you know how it is. One or two phone calls later you will be back in the saddle man. Hey, what about a job at Colonial until the end of the meet?

One year ago the last week in April I left on a Greyhound bus to Cincinnatti, hopped in a cab to Argosy Casino - paid for my hotel room for 3 days and proceeded to do exctly what Nicolas Cage did, but much more gambling. I slept in that $100 room one time for about 3 or 4 hours, and showered in it every day. After that was over, I hopped back on a bus and proceeded to spend a couple weeks you know where - most of you remember that stupid ordeal. Its a wonder I didn't die of alcohol posioning. The bars were closed from 4am till 7am. When 7am rolled around, did I drink coffee? You know the answer.

Kev,

You are easily one of the class guys on this board. You will rebound in a big way. Good luck, my friend.

Thanks Pete...that means alot.

You know the old saying, if life deals you lemons...make lemonade..then add some vodka to it, kick back and...oh..no wait.:D :D

Is that how that saying goes? Drunk girl told me once .. "when life hands you women, make women laid"

Damn that was a good night.

that chick have a sister by chance????

anyone need a hotwalker
 

i have actually interviewed derby bill at the otb in scott county, va...wasn't very good at handicapping.

your right, he's really not...

Kev.

I'm real sorry to hear that. You're a fine person and I'm sure that you'll make the best of the situation.

You miss 100 % of the shots that you don't take.

Leo

GPK,

Keep your head up bro, you're a good guy & I'm sure you'll come back from this stronger than you were before. Good luck.

kev im very sorry to hear what happened. i like most people here including yourself and have made alotta friends from the espn board the past 5 years, so if you along with them ever need anything you know how 2 get a hold of me

That sucks man. It's no fun getting axed when you had nothing to do with it. If you need anything give me a shoutout.

BTW-now that you have more free time i expect big turn winners ;)

Stay up big K..

That's good advice. Turn this into an opportunity to do something you really want to do!

Regardless of how you proceed, I'd be willing to bet significant bucks that 12 months from now you will be glad of the change.

Good luck to you!

--Dunbar

That's a bad beat there brother. Sorry to hear it. Let me know if I can help. Sorry bro.

Sorry Kev, it's not a cool thing to go through. Everyone has already given out all the good advice you'll need. I'll just say keep your head up and eyes open and the opportunities will present themselves.

Thanks guys...just trying to remain positive and upbeat. I will bounce back, that I am sure of.

On a lighter note, from reading all through the thread it sounds like you could line yourself up for quite a fun summer of travel. Traveling the country, sleeping on a variety of different rollout beds offered by DerbyTrailers, seeing all the great summer races, visiting friends along the way. Actually it doesn't sound too bad! lol

I will be MUCH closer to the OTB's when you travel to VA:D

It will happen again, probably will need to go down there again this summer or fall. I'll definitely try to line up something with you when I do go down. I'm counting on an indoctrination into the ways of the VA OTB life!!
