SMALL talk? LOL.That's ALL I hear about on the radio every morning... luckily they haven't yet hit on the Indiana side...Good luck!
3. Small talk topics: cicadas (they're just starting to emerge here), the Cubs stinking as usual (despite a high payroll), and the White Sox have hope once everyone gets off the DL.
I thought this thread died a Loooong time ago. :lookaroun
I'd let ya stay at my place.. but I will have a family member in town... who I am lending my room to... and I am taking the couch (I hate being nice, especially to family :lookaroun :lookaroun)
So whats the final story on this? I will be working most likely... but I will be off around mid-night.
Do you need a ride anywhere?
Is the job local? If so.. can you give me a job? :lookaroun :lol:
Good luck!
Here are some tips for you on your interview:
1. Make sure to leave yourself plenty of time to get there. Chicago has the worst traffic next to L.A., which is the absolute worst.
2. Do not make any derogatory comments about the Bears or Ditka. You can question Grossman's big game skills, but that's about as far as you can go.

If you want to suck up (and who doesn't on a job interview) mention that you're stopping later for some deep dish pizza because you've heard Chicago has the best pizza in the universe and all other pizza is crap. Which is true.
Wanna pick me up at ORD at 9am? My interview is at 1pm downtown, it should be done by 5pm, then I have a 720 flight to catch in ORD. I'm probably gonna take Metra back to the airport and pick up a shuttle.
they have HR offices downtown on Riverside and MadisonShows hows much I know-- all this time living there and knowing United employees, I never even knew they had downtown offices :ROFLOL: :hammer:![]()
Time to crawl back in my hole.

Actually, it's not 9am, it's 8:44am![]()
United, TedI'll leave my place at at 8:30AM and depending on traffic.. I should be getting there just as you are exiting the building. What airline?

These guys were the first cicadas to emerge. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of these things in my trees and yard flying around and making noise so loud they sound like a jet engine. For scale these guys are about 3 inches long. We're leaving for WDW next week Saturday, hopefully they'll be gone by the time we come back and we won't see them for another 17 years!

It was an adventure mowing the lawn over the weekend, I was under constant attack. The critters were coming at me and landing on me from all directions. I was riding my lawn tractor when I approached a low hanging tree branch I noticed it was loaded with cicadas. Not wanting to get a face full of bugs I leaned way back, just then the steering wheel popped off and I tumbled backwards off the tractor spilling out on the lawn, luckily the tractor has a deadmans switch that kills the engine when no one is sitting on the tractor. After my wife realized I wasn't hurt, she had a good laugh! When I came into the house after mowing all morning She asked me if I shook myself off, I said yes that I did, but then felt something on my neck, swatting at my neck and back a couple of cicadas fell to the floor, to which my wife screamed, then had another good laugh at my expense. I know these guys are harmless, but they're creepy as heck!:hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl:
so glad we haven't seen them yet
