You will find a job in no time flat. My guess is that by next month we will see a post from you saying "New Job is AWESOME"

The exact reason above is why professional gambling is the best job of all time, you can't get fired, you can just go broke....

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.

Default 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!!!!!!!!

... been there, it happens, has nothing to do with your abilities, etc... all true. got an empty townhouse i'm working on these days. Dog, girl and you always welcome if you decide to travel. No Tampa these days... A couple Calder/Pompano doubleheaders would have to do. You'll land faster and better than you expect.

I think we are really related, dude. That sounds exactly like something I would say. Good luck to ya partner, I have been there too often myself, w/ a lot of my own doing, but I just keep on keepin on and always land on my feet. I have a feeling you'll do the same.

Kevin in Saratoga = Gander's marriage has less than 3 months at best.

But I'd love to have Kevin up here.

Kevin- I guess this means you will now be able to come up a few days earlier than planned and make opening day at Saratoga?

Wont cost you a penny more, you have places to stay, you know that. I have all the days off from work. Let me know

3 months my ass....3 weeks and we would be too broke to even pay attention. This really puts a damper on my summer plans with everyone. I can't go into a new job telling them when I can't work right away.
