Weird how when it's a single white male shooter for the other side it's political but when it's a single white male shooter from your side it's mental illness.

Not sure what to make of that but notice that the abortion shooter and Giffords shooter were both explained as mentally ill by the GOP while you know they will try to claim this one was wholly political.

Off topic, but any headway on bring the salary up on your job offer? If you aren't completely strapped for cash, I would hold off for a better opportunity...I think. Hard to go on interviews when you are the new guy and can't take off work.

Was just thinking about your situation, hopefully it is over soon with a good company that pays what you are worth!

Still working on it, but it's likely looking like a no, at least not to a level I'd feel comfortable with. I have 2 interviews coming up with different companies, so I'm hoping one or both work out. One would probably pay higher than what I asked for, so that's a good possibility too.

It's kind of a shame, because the company sounded like fun to work for. They're only 10 years old, and apparently their sales double each year, so there's a ton of growth and work to do in getting it set up to be a working production line. It'd be a great item on the resume, but I can't do for that price.

Yeah, it's hard because without a job you can't be too picky, but it sounds like you have some potentially better opportunities so good for you. In my experience, companies that start low don't do that just to see what you have and then bump up your pay, they usually start low and remain low which is extremely frustrating. My last company was like that, they lowballed the poo poo out of me but since i was moving out of state and wanted to stay with my family, I ended up taking a job making $30K less than what I was in Illinois. They ended up paying me less than what I was making as a contractor when I converted, when I asked to be paid more I got a "Well we can give you 2K more but that's it" reply which forced my hand into looking for a new job. Fast forward a month, and I had an offer that was much more than what I was making even as a contractor, for a cooler company, better benefits, etc.

So I think you are doing the right thing. Hope one of the 2 new opportunities hits for ya my man.

I don't know what you call the injury where your fingers get pulled too far apart and something tears or strains or whatever, but it took me like 3 months to recover from it the last time it happened playing pickup ball. A couple weeks ago I finally started to feel normal with no pain in my hand. Last night it happened again

It's not like my hand is just spontaneously getting hurt, it's just bad luck with reaching for steals and only getting one finger on the ball but enough of that finger that it gets pulled

The sign that I should hang em up is more the whole walking around like Frankenstein's monster an hour after we're doing playing because I'm so stiff

Thumb injuries are the worst. I'm a pretty aggressive defender which means when I try to deflect passes a lot of times I catch it right in the thumb and jam it pretty badly

e: I actually used to jam fingers all the time as a kid, my right middle finger is slightly Torry Holted
