I got the feeling they weren't sure how many people were on the plane (initial reports said 8-10) ... so I'm hoping there were only 7 and no one is left out there. Sad day... it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Well that was easy .... start my new job in two weeks. On the same block as my previous one, better company, better pay, better job all around. My current/previous employer is now crapping themselves because they figured I'd still be here into December at least - they're asking if I can stay longer and if I'd still be available to answer questions when I'm gone. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

English.... barely. Staples (surgical or otherwise) ... I can punch holes too. ... says the Michigan fan who couldn't kick a toothless mother of 7. Phhht.... I'm counting on that for my severance package. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Same here, but this is basically "don't sue us for wrongful termination, bad mouth us, try to take employees/clients and we'll pay you for a little while longer" And no, the package sucks. People that have been let go from here in the past would get 3 months pay at a minimum - up to 12 months. If I stay for another month, they'll give me a whole month's pay Planning on it... and I'm not cheap. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Anyone a labor contract lawyer type person? They gave me like a 5-page 'separation agreement' that I wouldn't mind someone who can speak the language looking over. I'm poor and losing my job but you'll have my gratitude, free computer advice anytime you need it, and maybe a beer & a jump if we ever cross paths. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

You sure bout dat? Just cuz they're telling you it isn't personal doesn't mean it's not. Ok, partly my fault. Not because of not doing my job or anything like that, but not playing the political game well enough and making sure everyone knows how important I am It's a big long story, but basically they're spending a massive amount of money to 'automate' a bunch of jobs. Mine actually won't be one directly affected (if anything this project would have increased my workload) but they think they'll be able to bring in contractors and save money. They don't realize this, but that's not going to work. They've eliminated almost the entire IT department. The one guy that's left I predict will burn out and leave within 9 months. Oh well... I'm sure I'll come out better than I was. I probably needed a kick in the butt to get me out of here anyway. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Ok, so for the third time in my life I'm about to be unemployed through no fault of my own. After being with this company for 10 years, I'm told I won't be needed after December 31st. Send me vibes!! Anyone looking for a slightly burnt-out computer guy? I can also be a trainer. I'm also available for select sexual favors (no gimp suits - sorry remster) it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

My #1 suggestion for making this happen: Have on a weekend other than Labor Day. It's not a conspiracy people - it's the last big three day weekend of the season around here. Any DZO with mouths to feed isn't going to close up shop to send money someplace else. Cessna DZs might be a different story, but it's got to be hard to leave your turbine aircraft sitting on the ground for three days to go support someone else. Does CSC close up shop all week to go to SummerFest? If SGC made their "Memorial Day Boogie" bigger, I wouldn't expect SWC or SS to close up for the weekend and go support it. I just think your expectations are out of whack a little. As for Jim W. threatening to fire staff for going to Richmond - put it in context: Busy tandem (labor day) weekend, no staff to spare. It was "show up for work tomorrow or don't bother coming back" I don't think he was that bent on making sure Richmond didn't get the $100 that jumper might have spent there, he needed his employees there doing their job. I'm not trying to defend him, just putting it in context for everyone. I honestly don't think he cares that much. I could be wrong, but I don't the motives in that case were malicious. If you want to argue about how RDs should show up, I'll listen to that one. My first question would then be "Did anyone invite him?" Maybe he didn't think he was welcome or that it wouldn't be beneficial at all. If you want to argue training methods, probably another thread of forum would be better it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

If I'm reading this right - the rules didn't change, they're just now deciding to enforce them? I'm not sure I buy the "...we didn't know there was alcohol involved before the accident..." They probably knew but ignored it, but no longer could when the accident happened. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Jesus Christ Wes, I'm not on any "bandwagon" and the only thing I've ever done is asked for more information about accusations that were made (which I ended up getting by the way, and not from you because your standard line is "go look it up") And I'll repeat myself - most of that BS happened before I got into the sport. If you have something more recent, feel free to share. Any time you want to enlighten me, please do. I've asked before, and all you do is call people bandwagon riders. I'm not that kind of person - I won't blindly defend someone/someplace, I have to know it to be true or untrue. That wasn't directed at you. How the hell did we get to here anyway?! it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

History is history. All this political regional bullshit is absurd. If you have something against a specific person for their past actions, bring up when it's time to vote. Why bother dragging the place that employs them into it? Stereotyping an entire group is pointless too. So some ex-army people have fucked things up in the past (in your opinion) so we shouldn't elect anymore. Great. There's also been some white males that fucked everything up too - let's stop putting them in power too. I'm well aware of this myself. The sad thing is, all the BS happened before I even got into the sport, but there's still a handful of people that can't let it go. I've never really felt welcome at Richmond because I came from "that" DZ - which is sad because the majority of people there are/were very welcoming. Most people could get past the couple of people that made them feel like that - I just haven't been able to. God I hope so. Like you said, we're not curing cancer or anything here. If there's specific actions or policies you disagree with, please share. Bashing someone because they had a Labor Day "boogie" is retarded. Blaming them for lower attendance is even worse. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

in the 'flat part' of your descent, hit spacebar - little ballons come out and you go forward more instead of down. THat's how/why the stamina bar at the top goes down (when it's empty, you can't balloon anymore) it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

I just peed my pants... For some reason, I had that clip a long time ago (honestly, I don't know why) My favorite thing to do was put it in the startup folder of unsuspecting friends' computers. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!!!??" could be heard for blocks on more than one occasion. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Sanity check here people: it was scheduled for Labor Day ... every turbine DZ in the country has some kind of Labor Day get together. And fun jumpers win - not everyone wants to jump at a mega-corporate DZ, they want to see their friends. Not everyone wants to pay a registration fee for free beer, all-night parties, and wider aircraft selection. How is choice a bad thing? Hell, they're less than 2 hours from each other, you could go to both if you wanted. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Wow. Those bastards. That's like creating a massive week-long boogie in the same state and same week as another existing one. Or even within a few days of. What are these pricks thinking?! These people and their stupid ideas will ruin the sport. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

As I would expect you to give if the same happened to some other team I'll bet no one looks past App State again though. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Sweet. 15 on the demo?! Damn! Big demo! You could kinda see two landings on TV (behind people they were interviewing) -- one came in kinda quick, almost looked like PD Factory Team colors. The next looked like a bigger blue/black that turned kinda low and ended up tumbling. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Sooo... were you the one with the streamers that biffed? or the other one? I made a couple jumps Saturday, WrongWay professed his homosexual love for me... then my head filled up with snot, and I spent the rest of the weekend bitching about it. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

While that is how most of them happen, myspace has had problems in the past with flash-based virus (ok, so more of a macromedia problem, but still) and adware/malware installing ads. So they're not ALL user-induced... it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

It happens because myspace sucks. Just say "no" to myspace. But Seth! I just love going on pages that are utterly illegible! How else could I waste my time reading profiles of people with moving background? ... while listening to some shitty song and the audio from 4 different videos set to autoplay? Is geocities still around? you could try that... it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
