    Lol...

    I'm from SoCal...
    Here's the thing...I manage (oversee) 400+ hours a week plus a TON of admin/business tasks....I'm paid exceptionally well for running 400+ staffed hours a week...most who run these hours are paid 10-20k less than I am at....the new location would be 1200+ staffed hourS, one inside, and one outdoor shopping area...they can't offer me
    Much more than I am at now, and after some research- I would probably be losing money if I take it...I just want more challenges...and they know that....plus, it's 7+ hours away from family in SoCal (those who know me know we have zero family here)....I'm calling him back tomorrow and will be respectfully.....




















    Declining the position.
    I'm just happy they know I can accomplish that task.

    Ummm did you misunderstand or do you intend to shoot ducks with a rifle?

    Should I have said "would make" instead of "sounds like"?

    Ya. Think we missed each other on that one. It's defiantly not a duck gun. It's more of a "long range intrusion prevention implement" I have a ton of hunting guns and just recently started getting into the fun stuff that's frowned upon here in the commie state but enjoying building up a new type arsenal. Luckily I have a FFL dealer buddy that uses our shop vault so I get a new toy every few weeks or so.

    No, what sucks is this damn stadium that 60% of the population up here doesn't want in the first place. Since Frank only answers to the State Board of Governors & not any silly local gov't official, he does what he pleases. :drevil: Speaking of the silly local officials, all but one abstained on the vote for 'Frank's Folly' & the one who actually voted sided with his constituents & said, "no".

    Fort Collins tax payers are still going to have to foot the bill for the city infrastructure projects to support Frank's Folly that could range between $14.75 million and $26.4 million. The idea that Hughes stadium would still get used? Wrong again, it was just announced they plan on leveling it & selling it off. The life long residents of this town just live here, they have no say in what CSU does to the town while they pander to their 4 year part time residents. :frusty:

    Ok, soapbox rant over. Now this here down below is also what sucks in more ways than one. You realize Sean you'll have to be a closet case conservative out there in the land of fruits & nuts. :rasta:

    Yeah...I just don't get his theory of "everyone else has an on campus stadium so that means we need one too!" It's usually because they have nowhere else to put one. The thing that made us unique was its beautiful location. :notsure: but who knows. I stopped following it after a while.

    They should just make an expansion off the Foothills Campus. I know the equine center is getting a few new arenas built and it's taking up some of the fields for the polo ponies, so they could use more space.

    Well if you ever decide to move your operation here, I think we could make an exception to the "no more californians" rule.

    Thanks. I tried it once, loved the scenery, freedom outdoors etc. I just chose the wrong part of town (fountain) and wrong roommates at the time.
    Never know what the future holds, just know that living in California is like bathing in a pool of leeches.
