Strange things you probably did not know about me
Cicero:
That stinks, 0. No jobs where you're at?
Other things about me: Was the best defensive infielder in my region for baseball back in the day. At least in my opinion and the local paper. I got Defensive MVP for about three years straight -- and that's well over 40 games. Nice.
0bsessions:
Utility infield or did you have a natural position?
In terms of jobs, that's what I'm in the process of finding out. I was laid off about 51 minutes ago. I'm updating my resume and browsing Craigslist and Jobfox at the moment.
valley_parade:
Shit, Jon. I'm sorry.

For baseball I was always blessed to play everywhere. Second base and shortstop is where I spent most of my time, but I also had the strongest arm on the team so corner (third) was somewhere I always liked to be. We were a competitive league. Coaches actually scouted down and had a few other members on a staff to watch the pitching and hitting tendencies of other players, so I often shifted to be in the best position. I also pitched from time to time, (I am so pissed they never let me fully pitch and develop my arm, I was tossing 60s in my early teens) and I got to play center a hell of a lot because I was quick and ran good routes. This was usually when we played teams who had good fly ball hitters. I never played first base in my older years of baseball, and catcher was rare.
I was a top two guy in the batting order too because of my speed, but my hitting was never as good as most other players. I actually preferred hitting at the lower spots (like 7-9) because there wasn't as much pressure, and I knew the guys behind me would get on base and knock me in.
I am sorry to hear you were laid off, that definitely sucks. I've been looking at apartments and stuff on Craigslist in some metro areas in preparation to be there by Spring/Summer 2010. The difference between a one or two bedroom in the Twin Cities as opposed to Boston or out on the East Coast is just nuts.
Good luck on the hunt man.

Here's one i found out today, just after i crawled out of bed.
I am capable of filling up an entire tissue just snorting twice (immediately after eachother). I was very much suprized by this fact.
And yes, i am sick at the moment :(
