I Have An Interview. I Think. Help? Edit : Got The Job :)
Yes, this is an interview. the article posted above is good but also be prepared for behavioral interview questions. these are a little different than the typical what would you do type questions. these are more of the give me an example where you had to deal with an irate customer etc....they are looking for what is called the STAR method in their answer....Situation, Task, Action, Result. keep in mind this is not what you would do but rather what you did do. Also be prepared to ask questions about the position itself, potential tasks and potential for growth. Good luck and let us know how it all pans out

Has Anybody Broken A Veritas?
broke two while setting the hook between the tip top and the next guide. Both were covered under warranty and the third one i sold to a buddy and he has had no issues with it.

I Got Fat!
Just curious why any workout plan is a fad? If you stick with anything be it a diet change or a workout regimen it is not a fad. Sounds to me like you are making excuses for changing your weight and not sticking to your workout plan and diet. I am pretty lucky in that my weight doesn't change to much but my body composition does. I range anywhere from 195-205 depending on how much cycling i am doing. I will agree that weight doesn't matter to much it is more about your body fat % which unfortunately is something that is not easy to measure. I know for me i am so busy now with school and work and a family that i really need to work out no matter what it takes to get my energy level higher than normal. I will also be taking whey protein and whatever else tickles my fancy because even if it doesn't work physically the mental aspect always helps.

Spare Spool, Spinning Reel Rant
Not a real concern for me. I would rather keep the same price for a newer reel than get a spool that sits in my gear storage.

Has Your Life Panned Out Different Than You Thought It Would?
well I am going to turn 37 next week and am making strides towards a major career change but everything that has happened to me has happened for a reason. I do what i can when i can how i can. I am not complaining one bit and i am only looking forward to the rest of my life to see how it all pans out and hopefully that i can raise my son in a way that I am proud of....right now that is really all that matters, well other than paying the bills and having food

I Got Fat!
I am in....i had an injury to my shoulder that prevented me from working out and then i started classes but i definitely don't have the energy i once did so it is time to get back at it. I am gonna do one of the p90x workout routines but not sure if 1 or 2 just yet but most likely 2. Good luck!!

My St. Croix Experience
While I agree i am saying that the majority of breaks are not warranty issues and the companies are more or less providing a replacement for a nominal fee. What most people call a warranty replacement really isn't a warranty replacement.

My St. Croix Experience
I have used st croix warranty on fly rods a few times and never a complaint for me. Depending on your local fishing store they may repalce the rod on the spot if they know that the rod will be replaced. 99% of breaks are user error and it is pretty rare that a rod isn't covered under warranty which is usually a $50 fee or so.

Careers
You are forgetting one key piece....you have to be worth looking at in those types of situations as well

Careers
don't kid yourself, you love what you do and have said so plenty of times. Money came along with doing what you love to do and that is the key to any job really. Love what you do and things are always better......

Careers
take the advice of others and don't pigeon hole yourself just yet. Most people switch majors in college a few times before one sticks and even more work in a field completley unrelated to their major. Find something you like to do and see what careers are out there and unless you absolutely love money don't let the affect your decision as money isn't everything. I am going back to school as we speak to get my teaching certification and wish i would have done it sooner. Teaching, depending on the grade level, have different requirements and does not limit you to a school system. You can be a trainer for a corporation, develop textbooks and lesson plans, teach at the college level etc...

K C Chiefs 9 - 0
Yeah but peyton has been there before with the whole undefeated for 12-13 games and ended up losing so i figured he would put the pedal to the metal the entire game. I am still mad that the Eagles didn't make a play on him when he was on the free market....imagine him with McCoy, Jackson, Celek and if Maclin was healthy......oh well guess i will just be stuck with watching the Eagles rack up a ton of yards but not as many points.

K C Chiefs 9 - 0
Peyton manning is playing very well but their defense hasn't really stopped anyone. I really hope they are both undefeated when they play because i would love to see the chiefs win.....i also read they set the decibel record for a game this past week too. Definitely on my bucket list of stadiums to go visit before i die.

I believe Rob Johnson was the QB for the bucs when they won.....offense wins in the regular season but to win in the playoffs you need to have a defense that can force turnovers. Look at the saints when they won. They have always had the offense but the one year they have defense they pretty much waltz their way to the Super Bowl.

K C Chiefs 9 - 0
wasn't it a 27.5 point spread? I almost bet on the Jags to cover but i promised myself to not bet on football after my last good run....well other than fantasy football and weekly pick 'em leagues.

Alex smith doesn't have to be a beast for the chiefs to succeed. they just need that defense to continue to play well and smith to not lose them games. I seem to remember a few no name QBs who did the same thing from the bucs, ravens (first time) and even eli with the giants on his first run.

Best Bps Reel?
I have only used their PQ but i can say that when you get one on one of their sale prices i don't think there is a better reel for the money out there. I have one that i picked up for my cranking rod so it has been through some serious use and i have no complaints whatsoever.

Giants Are 0-6 ... What To Do With My Winter Now!
RG is looking a little better tonight with his legs but he is showing more diva then ever......i hate both of these teams but next week will be a pretty big game for sole possession of the NFC Least.....E-A-G-L-E-S.....EAGLES!!!!

Counting Down The Depth
Watching a bait fall next to the bot really isn't going to do you any good. Find a spot with a known depth by either a depth finder or sticking a paddle down in the water etc...then drop your bait and count till it hits the bottom. Some baits are labeled to sink at a specific rate too so you can go by that as any method is an estimate more than anything as there are always other factors tht affect how quickly a bait will sink.

Any Baseball Fans?
History in the making here if Detroit can continue.....Not many no-hitters thrown in the post season. I think only two in history and neither were of the multi pitcher variety.

Giants Are 0-6 ... What To Do With My Winter Now!
Agreed. I saw a stat that said that other than his superbowl winning runs he hasn't won a playoff game.....Hard to argue with two wins on the big stage though. Sad thing is i haven't watched a game where i thought they were actually going to win. Coughlin will be gone after this season but as sad as their record is they are still plenty alive in the NFC least.

Any Baseball Fans?
Beltran was no doubt the catalyst last night. Having such a long game last night it will be interesting to see how it plays out for the rest of the series sicne bullpen was used a little more than normal and players were out there for a long time. looking forward to today's games for sure.

Giants Are 0-6 ... What To Do With My Winter Now!
My question is how long of a leash do you give him? He said he wanted to play in the preseason but when he didn't he then said he didn't need to and he would be ready. He hasn't played well at all this year coming off an injury or not. the way he played in the regular season after having an even longer time to heal and get in shape shows me that he was not healthy enough to play in the preseason anyways. Personally i think they should have just let him sit till this past bye week and bring him back this week and let Cousins play, he is pretty good really and i don't see much of a drop off between the two, especially with RG pretty much not able to run. Explain to me how he is above average this year? Does he have a good upside, sure he does but without him being able to run his game drops off considerably as the fear of the run isn't there. he is and will be injury prone throughout his career just like he was in college. I like the kid but he is a diva who already thinks he is bigger than the game and just needs to learn to keep his mouth shut and play the game. As far as being the best rookie on his team i would say Alfred Morris was the better rookie and Luck was better than both of them and you could probably argue wilson was better than everyone but Luck too. And as far as divas go yeah in other positions but you don't see divas at QB especially from a rookie coming off a second knee injury in what, 3 years?
