wait wait....there are people out there that are defending a training contract and the chance to make low 20's an hour in a large T.P.....

Not just wrong like "Colgan and Republic are pure evil" wrong, but wrong like "i know this is a bad situation but its all i got" wrong.

Also, has anyone ever considered how weird of a word wrong is? weird is also a very strange word...

It's ok, I didn't want to be there and I wasn't bound by a contract to stay so given that it cost them money and me nothing it goes in the win collumn.
