Indiana bound?

[Crackpot]

Well it looks like I'm going to be put in for a position in Ft. Wayne for about 6 months. With some luck I'll get the job and be back in time to help my wife with the last few months of her pregnancy with some extra money to boot.

Well it looks like I'm going to be put in for a position in Ft. Worth for about 6 months. With some luck I'll get the job and be back in time to help my wife with the last few months of her pregnancy with some extra money to boot.

Where are you headed? Last I heard, Ft. Worth was still in Texas, next to that place they keep the (baseball) Rangers.

In any event, I have a hard time getting my head around "some luck" and either Ft. Worth or Ft. Wayne in the same post.

Unless the full phrase should be, "Some f**ing luck, right?"


Oh, congrats! Hope things work out!

[Gob]

Good luck mate.

Must be a bummer to have to leave the wife for so long, hope the job pays well...

[Crackpot]

I meant Ft. Wayne.

And that's what It always said I swear!

Close enough that I'll be able to go home for the weekends.

I've had better paying jobs but not much better.

[The Hen]

Phew. I am so glad you are able to get back home for the weekends. Your wife will be needing assistance when she is further along in the pregnancy.

I am glad the money is good as well. It is a shame you aren't out here. You'd get a 'baby bonus' payment from the Government for sprogging. I think it is up around $6,000 now. (Though we get a lot of young bogans getting pregnant to get their plasma screen tvs.)

[Sean]

Not anymore Hen. The plasma bonus is apparently given in vouchers now that can only be redeemed in certain shops and NOT for electrical goods.

[The Hen]

Oh buggery bollocks.

Never mind. I wasn't thinking of having a kid just to get my hands on any money.

[Jarlaxle]

Good luck. I'll be passing through Indiana on US30 in 3 weeks enroute to Newton, Iowa for the Power Tour. Don't think I'm going anywhere near Fort Wayne, though.

C-P's theme?

Mmmm, mmmm

Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there
Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there
I wish I had you, to talk to

If a man ever needed dyin' he did
No one had the right to say what he said about you
And it's so cold and lonely here without you
Out there the laws are coming
I'm scared and so tired of running

Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there
Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there
I wish I had you, to talk to

It hurts to see the man that I've become
And to know I'll never see the morning sunshine on the land
I'll never see your smiling face, or touch your hand
If just once more I could see
You, our home, and our little baby

Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there
Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there, oh

I wish I had you, to talk to

I hope this letter finds its way to you
Forgive me love for the shame I put you through
And all the tears
Hang on love to the memories of those happy years
Red lights are flashin' around me
Yea love it looks like they found me

Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there
Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there
I wish I had you, to talk to

Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there
("This is the police, you are surrounded, give yourself up")
Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there
("This is the police, give yourself up, you are surrounded")

Ft. Wayne? Right smack in the middle of nowhere. The excitement should be endless.

[Gob]

He's married with a kid on the way, excitement is now a thing of the past.

Retirement is all there is to look forward too..



Ps. Love the sig @-W
