Mass Foxboro Imperial Syndicate's Social Thread

The bus was on a Snow Route last night, so I got to Chestnut Hill very quickly. I then walked up Hammon Pond Parkway on the road, as there was two feet of snow on the unplowed sidewalk.

 

Hopkinton was one of the few towns in this area that actually had school this morning. The downside was, the idiot bus driver decided my road wasn't 'safe' and didn't bother stopping to pick up my son.

What was worse was she nor the bus company called to tell us of her decision. So after waiting for 15 minutes I called the bus company and was told what happened. After ripping the dispatcher a new one, I ended up driving my son to school myself. Needless to say, I was over a half hour late for work.

As Mama Gump always said "Stupid is as stupid does".

 

I think that most of the schools near Boston were closed, Worcestor had no delays Shrewsbury had an hour delay and I think that the rest of them were open out this way as well. I spent most of the morning removing snow off all the cars in our lot. Then I had to push out the cars that got stucked. I am one sore kid right now. lol

 

It looks like another storm is coming.

I don't know if it will amount to alot but be careful out there today.

I git to drive to my mother's house today.

Shouldn't be too bad I hope just driving RT 109.

 

After talking with Tony today I just want to wish him the best of luck on his upcoming interview this week.

They would be dumb not to see your the man for the job.

Keep us posted about it Tony you have got our support!!

 

Good luck Double D. Definitely let us know how it goes.

 

Good luck on the interview Tony.

 

Thanks guys. I interview at the Museum of Science tomorrow afternoon.
The lady said that there are a total of 3 people going for the job, so I at least have a 33% chance.

 

Ooh, a job at the MOS? Very cool! Let us know how it goes.

 

Boooo. The lady that's interviewing me is going on vacation, so I don't get to talk to her until March 13th.

 

That sucks having to wait that long.

Well good things come to those who wait.

 

that kinda sux. Sorry to hear that Tony. I had that happen to me when I interviewed with a company before moving here. I had an interview scheduled and the lady was on vaca, but scheduled to come in for it. She blew me off and had one of her employees interview me. She then gave me over to the main boss and we got along great and he hired me much to the dismay of my soon to be boss. lol So it does happen and like Chris says good things come to those who wait. So patient lil padawan everything will work itself out through the force. lol

 

Well I have arrived in Tampa Bay and it is 77 degrees here.

The plane ride was alot smoother than the flight back from Indianapolis last year from CIII.

I really can't wait for the nice weather to hit the northeast.

Heading out to MGM Studios for STAR TOURS tomorrow.

If anyone wants anything form there let me know.

 

I hope you enjoy yourself in FL. I wish I was there.

If you come across any SW Lapel(sp) pins I might be interested. I got a bunch of them when we went to Disney 5 yrs ago. Damn it has been that long. lol

 

77 degrees. Dang, that's pretty sweet. It was about 55 degrees colder here today

If you come across any of the Star Tours figures I'd be more than happy to reimburse you for one. Doesn't matter which one you're able to find since I do not own any of them.

Enjoy the warm weather bud!

 

How is everyone? I finally have internet access again.

Pretty sad that Disney has to gouge it's guests for 10 dollars a day for internet and we couldn't even get WiFi they were suppose to send a cable connector for their internet.

Then they didn't have one...and suggested going to Coranado Springs which was off the rwesort where we were.

Pop Century Resort at Disney was pretty cool. They have a 50's , 60's , 70's , 80's & 90's themed hotel areas.

We had alot of fun at MGM Studios, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Animal Kingdom.

The new Expedition Everest Coaster at Animal Kingdom was awesome!!

I will have some pictures to show everyone eventually.

Heading out to Universal Studios tomorrow.

I am returning to Massachusetts on Sunday.

 

I was wondering how the trip was going for ya. It sounds like you are having. Well except for the net issue. lol

Take it easy man and talk to ya later

 

Thanks it is still great weather down here.

Went to Universal Studios today and going Universal Islands of Adventure tomorrow.

I am heading back to Tampa tomorrow night and going to a St.Patricks Day parade in Ybor City on Saturday.

Flying back home on Sunday afternoon.

 

Glad to hear you guys are having a great time down there.

Have a safe trip back!

 

Well the trip back was a little bumpy, alot of turbulence.

The weather was great down there all week.

I haven't been to Orlando in 17 years so it was nice to get to visit again.

Tampa Bay was also great. Went to a St. Patrick's Day parade in Ybor City which is part of Tampa. Got alot of beads that night both jedidisney and I.

I really needed that vacation alot. I did get everything home ok and in one piece.

I should have a few pictures to post up soon. hopefully.

Chris

 

Hey Mike sorry I couldn't stop and talk when I saw you today.

I was exiting the parking lot after all.

You had your hands full with the baby and it was a little chilly.

 

Man I got hosed at work this week.

I was offered a supervisors position at my job but was never told what the aspects of it until Monday.

My boss told me I would have to change my days from Monday - Friday to a Tuesday - Saturday schedule and they were only going to give me a 60 cent an hour raise which before taxes is an extra $24 buck a week.

I thought about all the variables: working Saturdays and more headaches and stress for 24 bucks more a week...I went back the next day and turned down their offer.

If they gave me at the least a dollar or more an hour it would of been worth it for the responsibilities etc. Everyone at work says I got low balled.

I am really disappointed with that little debacle

I still got my old position and Monday - Friday so it's still not too bad.



So Tony any word back on the job yet? I hope they make the right choice.

 

that sucks about the job Chris. I wouldn't have taken it either especially since they were only going to give a small raise. That isn't cool especially since you were going to be a supervisor. I remember when I became an assistant supervisor I got a couple dollar raise. I ended up leaving a few months after our move to CT anyways so I guess it doesn't matter now.

 

Nothing yet. Supossedly there are like 100 people hoping for the job. I still am applying to other jobs.
It's getting frustrating.

 

Just remember to keep your head up Tony. Something is bound to come up for ya.
