Work

Good luck Rif, sounds like an awesome opportunity!

Leave the Javelin at home.

Bring your Javelin and show it off to the ladies. 60% of the time, it works all the time.

I don't pray, but I'll drink to the potential job..

I'll even go so far as to issue a preemptive congratulations.

Congratulations on your new job! I knew you could do it!

Good luck to you Rif! Hope everything works out for you!

I'm confident you'll do fine in the interview.

Very few people in this world have the courage to chase their dreams and leave a secure job. Good for you bro, that's cool.

Rock on Rif! Vibes being sent!

GOOD LUCK! I never thought I was going to get the job I just did but I start Monday! They wouldn't waste either of your time for a charity interview...

Any news? Im interested to know how everything went.

I will meet with him on Wednesday...Cannot wait, and he is bringing Daryl Strawberry to town with him too, get to meet him as well!

I will let you all know how it goes, good or bad! Hahahaha

Rif I could make so many Strawberry jokes but will let you savor your moment

I had my meeting with the owner last night. pretty casual to say the least as we were at the ball game, actually probably the BEST place for an interview of that nature. I think it went well, we will see. He was honest and said they were not sure if they were going to fill that position or maybe make like 2 or 3 more, which bodes even better for me! We talked for about 15 minutes, which my wife doesnt think was long enough although we have spoken for like an hour before, but oh well. I felt good, and like i said, he knows my interest now and may have something in the future with this team, or another as all those dudes know each other. After i was done last night i spoke with the radio and pr guy for the OKC baseball team, he told me to send him my resume so he could get it out where it needed to be. Its like people want me in that business, I just have to be at the right place at the right time, like with everything else.

I still have my head up that something may come of this, it may be next week, it may be in six months, and i can be patient....

Thanks for all of the vibes and such guys!

Rif

woot!

Don't take the time issue too much to heart. It took me 2 years of patience waiting for the job I have now to come available and I knew it was mine when it did. I had three interviews and each one took less than 10 minutes. Sometimes it is a formality and sounds like he is making decisions about the club right now. Be patient...you never know when that phone might ring.

Did you meet the Strawman...being from Tampa I know a little too much about that guy...adn his BFF Dwight

That's awesome rif we are all rooting for you

I had an hour phone interview then a 1.5 hour informal interview with my now my now vp boss. It took another 2 months before I was hired

Hopefully when they get things sorted out, you will be in mind for a position. You've made your impression from the sounds of it. Keep that foot in the door Riffel!

I've waited 6 months to hear back from interviews, taken jobs in the mean time only to quit them when the good news came.

A lot of times, people are looking for applicants to be the right "fit." Which is a nice way of saying they want to like you and like working with you. From everything you have written, it looks like you have many many good impressions and I hope you get the job! It sounds like it would be totally cool and that you would be perfect for it.

This is all really bitchin...I hope something works out for you rif. Working in baseball would be so damn fun...

When I was kid I was at a Phillies game and Daryl hit a foul ball into the dugout that I was sitting next to and the coach went to toss the ball over the dugout into the crowd when I asked him for it and he gave it to me. I was also fortunate enough to attend the All Star Game and showed up early for autographs and asked Fred McGriff for the ball in his back pocket and he gave it to me! I had him, Barry Bonds, and Ellis Burks sign it

Got some other news today. I spoke with the former GM and President as he stays with us as well. He told me that the new owner had spoken to him about me and asked what he thought. the old gm told me what he told him, it was good too, this dude does not bullshit either...He has told me other things in the past so i would not think he is blowing smoke up my ass. he said that some things are in the works, and if my name is getting thrown around, that can only mean good things i think! And to top that off, the hotel is giving me more things as well, this may be tough, but i shall cross that bridge when i get there i guess!

Suck. that is cool, i have always liked Crimedog, he always seemed like a class act and by him doing that i can still look up to the dude!
