I can't help it. I believe in Stafford and they've been oh so close all season. But we're still a mess.

Do you have a link?

They say Hull right on them.

0 for 3 against MSU, 0 for 2 against Ohio State and almost no chance of us beating them...can we fire Rich Rod yet?

What were the prices like if you don't mind me asking. Will definitely need to circle the sale for my calendar next year. Edit: Quoted Pics.

This sends window shoppers to different shops, it's only useful for customers who ask for help. It also fills up a back room that is probably a third of the size of the store or less. And quite frankly, walking into a big shop and seeing 30 of the same stick lined up lends a lot of credibility to the shop instinctively.

Bring a little something extra to the table about the business. I think what tipped the scales in my interview was when I suggested the pro shop add a blog to the rink's website to reach out to customers when new product comes in.

You know more than the customer in most cases, but don't let that translate to arrogance or elitism. Be patient with misconceptions and resist the urge to be sarcastic or dismissive.

Orderred a computer through Walmart for the free shipping to the store. They advertised the computer as including Pentium III and a blu-ray player. Sent the money, then saw the only review: 1 star. Clicked, and it said they just copied the listing of the higher level model, and this one has a crappier processor and no Blu-Ray. Didn't catch it in time to stop the order, now it's shipped. Really don't want it at the price I got it at if it doesn't have the hard drive, memory, and processor they said it had. This could turn into an ordeal.

Well the helmet hasn't been put back on the rack, so I'm assuming he did buy it.

Had a guy come into the shop and grab a helmet because he forgot his. Skated in it for his beer league game. I couldn't say anything...because he works here and outranks me. What the hell? We have an entire room of loaner gear in the rink, why grab an $80 V08? I left before he came off the ice, so I don't know if he bought it or put it back or what, but thats just ridiculous.

Mine haven't stretched out, they have been tremendously durable too.

I did a good enough job of that without trying too, this wheel was just not going to function at all.

It's not my fault the sharpener was malfunctioning. It's also not my fault it happened when I had one of your skates done but not the other when everything went haywire. Furthermore, you're an idiot for coming into the rink at 10:50 for an 11pm game and thinking you can get your skates sharpened, and your lucky my boss changed the policy to cater to idiots like you. I really appreciate you throwing the free sharpening card at me after I gave you a free pair of rental skates, refunded your sharpening, and told you several times that I was sorry the machine was screwing up, then tried my damndest to sharpen your skates despite knowing the damn wheel was getting a deep groove in it after four passes. Have a great damn skate, douchebag.

Had to tell this story. You may have seen in the Venting thread, I forgot about a speech yesterday and had to write it and memorize it that day. So I write it at noon, go to my classes, and try to memorize as much of it as possible. I buy a pack of notecards on a spiral and fill four of them with the names, figures and statistics I need, as well as the talking points. Its my turn, I get up and he says "Actually, you're only allowed one notecard, sorry." I just react, say "OK," and toss the notecards aside. He goes "Wow" and I just go for the speech. I butcherred the Confucius quote to start it off, but after that I hit every point, correctly remember every name and stat, and cite every source. I absolutely crushed this speech for having only written it four hours before and not had time to memorize it. I was able to ad-lib a lot of the main points without stumbling and really only screwed up twice. It was on literacy, so I capped it off with a suggestion that you should give bored kids a book, and used Tom Sawyer as an example. What I wrote was "So kids can experience 19th Century Missouri, and enjoy Tom tricking his friends into painting his fence, or showing off for the girl down the street by doing tricks." Instead what I SAID was "...Tom tricking his friends into painting the fence and turning tricks for the girl down the street." It was hilarious, and luckily the professor was cool and didn't get offended or criticize me for the slip. I felt so awesome afterwards, I had a huge adrenaline rush because I pulled it off like that.

Thought my speech was the 23rd. Flip through my notebook to see something for a different assignment and voila! My speech is today. I have no nerves about public speaking but theres no time for me to memorize it so I have to do the best I can and ad lib like a mofo off some notecards to make this work. Lucky it's only worth 35 points, whereas the other 4 speeches are worth a combined 245 so I can make up the ground later, but this is definitely not how I wanted to start this class off. This, and I really didn't need to see what Cher wanted to show everybody yesterday. That was disgusting. And when does Ashton Kutcher pop out of the truck and let America off the hook for the prank that is Lady Gaga?

I'm trying to put one togehter, I don't think the plexiglass is necessary. And just for added difficulty, I'm putting goalie paddles in the middle of mine to make bouncing more difficult.

You'll never guess what happened this week. The Roommate and the girl broke up. Neighbor and roommate hate each other. Girl feels like she can only talk to me because her dad is a hardass, her mom has been completely harsh about the entire situation. And right now I would love to do nothing more to tell everyone to go to hell, leave me alone, and handle their own problems. But I can't.

I'm hating this University right now. They revamped the website, which only means epic glitches that resulted in people not being able to add or drop classes in the last two weeks, up until today. 3 days before Semester starts. Luckily for me, I don't have a competency met, so I have to bump into a class thats all ready full from the largest freshman class ever, or else I can't take any other classes. So I probably won't even be registering for classes until tomorrow, after getting a bump from a professor for the competency, at which point I essentially waste a semester in a credit grab because of absurd limits on credits for my major. It's okay though because I'm way behind in student loan stuff and won't have money for books for about a month anyway. I'd say this is about 45% my fault, but I've been working around this bizarre system for four years now and I'm sick of getting held behind freshman who are going to wash out in one semester anyway because I owe the school $200 bucks or need one class I couldn't get into. Oh, did I mention that the library closes every day at 5pm and my computer is long since dead, which means I don't have enough time around my work sechedule to get anything done? Yeah, that too. I need to get out of my own way. And the school needs to get their head out of wherever they have decided to store it of late.

"You're buying sticks AGAIN!" "I need them, I broke my last two." "You just bought two last week." "Honey, those are right handed. I'm completely out of lefties." "Still doesn't explain the gloves, you only have two hands."

Just got a job at the pro shop at my local rink and put in my 2 weeks notice at Walmart.

Loving the Thrashers MIAs. Hossa?

My laptop is officially dead. Still turns on, but Windows won't function and theres no way I'm paying to repair it when I'm replacing it in a month. Not to mention the screen is now only connected to the rest of it by 3 wires.

Whats the deal with the pads on the index finger. I've seen another pair of gloves like that, was it an option, or an earlier model? If it's an option what purpose does it serve?
