You would rather be in Houston than Dallas? We need someone to feed us inside information. Someone better than the 'licquor store clerk' we rely on now.

I slept at a holiday inn express last night, so does that qualify me for the job?...

If I didn't already have my cushy job, I'd apply. Well, that and if I were single. Don't feel like moving the family to Dallas, though I turned down a job at the Dallas Times-Herald years ago even though I sssooo wanted to be near the Cowboys.
I doubt the pay is all that great either. But the benefits are probably fantastic.

I hear the liquor store clerk is pretty reliable after he's allowed you to do some product testing.

I could move. I don't want to be that close to my family on a regular basis. I can love them so much better from a distance. lol

Yeah, I've never been a fan of their lay out, even through every change.

a degree is basically needed to be a janitor now. that's what happens when a whole generation goes to college.

 

[jazzcat22]

What is social media....guess I'm not qualified then....

I don't have a facebook account, don't do twitter, don't do instagram, is my space still around?....I do have a linked in account for employment networking, and rarely even sign into that.
Had a facebook for my business, but when I sold that, that account went with it. but I never used it, one of my employees kept it up to date.

I think it's because the guy formerly in charge left to take a position in Florida.
