Like, I wouldn't worry about it. Like, you're probably too young to get hired. Like, Oh My Gawwwwwd.
Dude!!! Chill!!

Default Poolies beware: More MEM honors

Front page to today's MEM newspaper ...

"The Bluff City ranked dead last in categories of intelligence, attractiveness, safety, romantic getaways, environmental friendliness, athleticism and pizza, according to the magazine's 2010 America's Favorite Cities survey."


Magazine poll ranks Memphis last in intelligence, attractiveness, first in barbecue The Commercial Appeal

Well, at least they've got that going for them. Now let's hear from all the home-boys who still say it's a wonderful town to both live in and raise a family. Of course, they really don't mean Memphis proper. But what the hey.

Top 40% in any seat would be my guess. Even higher to hold it consistantly.

This guy is probably prejudiced against Californians. Thanks for the support from the logical people.

Guys, why are you worrying about this. Your cart is about 2 miles in front of your horse. Worry about getting the quals and contacts you'll need to get hired by Fedex or any other major first, then when and if you get hired, you can figure out the rest.
At Fedex, you can live just about anywhere and commute to wherever you are based. You'll more than likely be based in Memphis flying in the back of the 727 if you get hired.

Sure, point taken... So anyway, if you DID get hired...
