Our team got bounced from their stadium lease and we are now in a new league, I forget the name. 5 Texas and 1 LA team. That's going to be a fun summer.

thedoctor Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 9, 2006 -> 02:45 AM) Second summer as a lowly paid sports writer. that's cool, though. everyone has to start somewhere. i started interning at this crappy weekly on the southside. wrote obits, little league roundups and a bunch of other meh. but the experience was valuable, and no doubt helped me get my first professional job after i graduated. i ended up moving to ohio and was assistant sports editor and sports editor at two newspapers in central ohio before i left the biz last may. i love journalism, and i still freelance from time-to-time. it's just a difficult lifestyle to have when you have kids. anyway, not like i'm the be all, end all or anything but i was good at what i did. if you ever need anything regarding the biz, hit me up on a pm or something.

I'm actually moving to Spring, TX in late June/early July and will be 21 as of seven days from now. Looks as if I may have a job lined up at Texas City, though.

Flash Tizzle Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 This summer I'll be working security at the new Chicago Fire Stadium in Bridgeview. Also, depending on scheduling conflicts with my other job/school, I may work security at Soldier Field. It's actually a fairly light gig. Not certain of my exact duties besdies ushering, patrolling grounds and writing incident reports, but the job is typically one or two days a week. All dependent upon the Chicago Fire schedule, or whether there's a concert. I know fo shizzle I"ll be there for the B96 Summer bash!!!!@11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin worked there about 10 years ago and said it was perhaps the funnest job he ever held. Mentioned several times how his friends and him would typically steal hundreds of dollars from their post every week. As well as hitting on women all day while not doing much work at all. Guess things changed from the time he worked and you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
