Nice.

I get a free Glock 22 & a free CCW, btw.

w00t! Lets spend all that on those! Screw the savings account for my first house downpayment, I'ma get a glock so it can sit in the closet of my parents house until I get bored with it and sell it!


:thumbsdown:

I already own several guns, none of which sit around for very long at a stretch. And even if you were correct, and I did end up letting it sit around till I sell it, I dont see $300 making a significant impact on a house downpayment. :thumbsdown:

Heh....they offered me $8 starting, but I held out for $13. Soon after, they gave me the salaried position with 5 weeks paid vacation, 2 weeks in holiday pay, free tuition, discounted health and dental, and a 10 percent pension.


Ohh yeah, I got a raise in June too...just before my 3% state mandated raise this month. Things are happy!!! I just hope my PDQ goes up for review soon so maybe I'll get reclassified and get more money. *crosses fingers*

Universities rock for benefits if you can get the packaged deal...

All my raises are in 5 figures. I'm very thankful.

Well, around here they dont let students negotiate their initial pay rate. You can sometimes get your raises earlier, but there is a set initial rate and upper limit for any student worker position. So you basically have to do what I did, ie transfer to a better paying position, to get better cash.

Oh well, I'm off to go mow my grandfather's lawn (it sometimes sucks being the only young unmarried man in a large family that is still in the same region as the aging relatives), then off to the bar to celebrate my raise.

I don't know why you quoted me, because I get those things issued to me by the PD--doesn't cost me a thing.

I do know a Glock dealer and I'll see what kind of a deal he is willing to cut me (and I'll ask about a G23 while I'm at it). But if I were you I'd be looking for a G18C :beer:

EDIT: and on that note... good night.

Hah, I don't think they'd let me carry a full-auto anything...plus I'd actually have to *pay* for the ammo.

9x19 isnt very expensive. Plus, I mean... full auto. How can you say no to that?

By that logic I should just ask 'em for one of their MP5s.

You say that like there is something wrong with that idea.
