Id love to work at guitar center or something, but i think thats too far away from me. im in martinsburg.
There is a guitar place in Roaring Spring by BK in the same plaza with a Help Wanted sign in the window... couple of weeks ago.

This should be a fun job, as it pertains to what I am going to college for. Also, I would rather go on welfare then work at wal-mart again ...

PPG is hiring again - It is swing shift also ...
what PPG?

incidently.. what's going on with the glass factory dahn in tipton (rob, looking in your direction).. I know that part of the business was sold and was just curious if it's going to stay open.. (I've actually looked at jobs at PPG in their coatings division...)
They did sell out, but they are keeping the glass production open.

As for the meadows - I don't think I am going to take it. It's too far for the pay and there are no benefits with the position they wan to offer me.
Music Rocks!

I did 12 years at NAC. I was offered a job in MD for 3 times what they where paying me. I took it and left that place.

Best move I ever made....

Only if you believe that. It's never too late to learn a trade, get an education or start your own business.

looks like a cross-breed of an aging riddler with orville reddenbacher.

Am I imagining this... or did I see a JP Picture on RP once of The Grimm using a picture of this guy during a show back in the past?

I always thought that he was going to kill over from asphyxiation in the commercials. I don't know how the dude breaths with as fast as he talks.
