Captain Hindsight

I wish we could talk about the real issues concerning this team. Why isn't Mario Williams wearing number 90. Kelsey retired! Is Garrison Sanborn really the best we can do? WTF is a kickoff specialist!? Something about letting Jairus Byrd walk Should have kept Lynch We passed on Jimmy Clausen...TWICE

A few of you have suggested I take the first offer regardless. I'm worried about the ethics of that deal. The CEO is friends with my parents so I'm worried about pulling out less than 24 hours later The meeting tomorrow is to discuss and review the offer. I have not seen any salary info, benefits ect. to this point. We've discussed generalities but thats it. Thats why feel comfortable asking for 48 hours to review/understand it For the other job where I will know by Tuesday, the reason I am fairly optimistic is that he called me on a Saturday morning to tell me what was up. To me that says potentially 3 things 1) They aren't entirely sure person one will take it and don't want to lose me 2) Candidate 3 is much less qualified than me, again, trying to keep me around 3) Just a nice dude doing the right thing I know I am in a good spot. I'm two months removed from my masters degree and already have one offer and potentially another on Tuesday. I realize thats the exception, not the rule. My biggest thing is I want to make sure I do everything in my power to go for the dream job so I can sleep well knowing I went all out. I refuse to live in constant regret because I choose to play it safe. If I lose the first offer, I can live with that know I did all I could to get the dream job. My loans aren't due until July anyway

Rational thought? No place for that

Talent wise, love the guy Rest of Cutler I'm always wary of. We could do far worse and if he can cut down on interceptions, we might have a viable QB

I got 11.

I think he'd be lucky to be drafted

You could ask the Bills owner

Considered this. It is a real concern for me. I'm very torn in this whole process. I really thought the company that has offered me the job was never going to contact me again. I really thought I bombed the interview. I also know for a fact that company offered the job to someone else and that person turned them down and they moved on to me. I'm second fiddle to both haha The two jobs could not be any more different, in two totally different parts of the country, doing totally different roles. One is management. One is grunt work. One is in an office 1 mile from where I grew up. One is in a national park on the other side of the country.

Its so simple!

Just spoke with the hiring manager. They offered the position to someone else but he has until Tuesday to decide. I am the number two candidate so if person one says no, I get the job and I will absolutely accept. I'm going to ask until Wednesday to make a decision on the other offer and hope first dude says no

Did Rex like him? Not surprised he got cut. Wasn't having a great year

Could be awhile. He's a FA

Wouldn't hate it. I like him better than McCown

Its not a govt job, private company that operates in the park. Thats why I'm hoping I can get a straight answer back from them Monday Edit: Just got an email from the guy at 1:15 (1015 there) He said he was traveling all day and will try to call tomorrow

Just called but got no answer. Left a message tho and explained the situation. I wonder if he was just out today

Call tonight or Monday morning? The meeting with company A is at 2pm on Monday

So I recived an offer today that is a very good offer at a good company. At the same time, I interviewed for what I would say is a dream job in a national park. I thought I nailed the NP job interview but I haven't heard anything since I last spoke with them last week. After I receivied the job offer this morning, I emailed the NP job and explained the situation and asked him to call me today. It's 615 here and the job is in Oregon so it's 315 there. He may still call but I'm sitting here debating if I should attempt to call him before the end of his workday or if that is being too pushy. My issue is the company that offered the job is meeting with me Monday afternoon to discuss the offer and will likely want an answer then Any ideas of how to handle this?

I like Hogan. I think he has great potential. I think Hartline is better

One of my first thoughts as well

My dad was a big Star Trek fan growing up and he's bummed now that I just told him.

Yeah i just emailed both of them. The one offer wants me to come in Monday and review it, so I told them I would. Last week when I interviewed there I told them I was interviewing at the NP so they are aware of it. My dad thinks they are trying to get in before them. Emailed the NP and asked if we could talk today and told him what was up. After this interview with the place that offered I was convinced I would never hear from them again haha. So that was a bit of a surprise this morning

Thanks! Its really good to feel wanted. Im treading lightly right now because the other job is way cooler haha Both would be great jobs, but the one in the National park is my dream job. I would never forgive myself I didn't do everything I could to get it. I'm not one to play it safe when I want something. Dad is coming home from work to advise me right now.

Received my first big boy job offer today. Its my second choice so I'm waiting to hear back from the other one in the National Park before I accept.

No Thats scary looking to me

Keep fighting the good fight my friend
