FYI They have slugs for that purpose, you...well rather...I wouldn't use shot.
[sm=rolleyes.gif] the only time I saw a deer get hit with a slug was nasty, pretty much ripped it apart.

You know what grinds my gears? Nobody wanting to hire me. I prolly have more experiance and knowledge than half the guys that work at the computer center at Best Buy, yet they have the job and i don't. I stopped even trying to apply at B.B. any more. Apparantly Murray's and AutoZone don't want me either. Even though i filled up the section of crap i can do and equipment i can use.

The best way to get hired anywhere is to be bilingual. Thats what sold them on me at the Zone. Affirmitive action kicks *** if your the right color.

The spanish helps alot. Sometimes even the most qualified ppl wont get the job for some odd reason. It happens. Best of luck though.

What grinds my gears is when the domestic guys who drive their V6 'stangs, camaros, and firebirds talk so much crap and then make so many excuses when my stock civic just walked all over them. I think the best excuse was "I wasnt even trying to really race." Oh so you didnt mean to sit at the red light and rev at me the entire time? Yeah whatever. I know ricers do it too but it makes so much more pissed when its a domestic. They talk down to the tuners around here alot and they cant stand it when a "lil lawn mower" walks them. But whatever. I know I win in the end with my more than 25 mpg and still faster.

Thats what i figured, but i know a boat load of ppl that have jobs. One of my friends got hired at best buy when he was 16. This one kid got hired over the summer and quit the job. I'm like dude, i've been tryin to get a permanent job for ages (and im older).

Thats definitly a big part. At AutoZone you have to be 18 according to the policy. Occasionally a store manager bends the rules but only if they are cool. Alot of the time managers will look at the age of the applicant and decide they arent even gonna give it a second look just because of age. There is discrimination out there and its not all raciscm. If you really want a job the best way to get it is to call them. Let them know that you want it bad and maybe theyll look at you closer.
