Harris, I HATE HATE HATE Gainesville.
You're preaching to the wrong choir, Harris. I had a ten year retail management/buying career and 80 hours was an easy week.
Looking for a job becomes your full time job when you are unemployed. Job search skills is a three-day part of the course I teach at the University. Ninety-nine percent of the resumes I see are complete crap. I'd be happy to help you with yours if you're willing to work your ass off at finding a new job. That means not being at home, on a message board, during the day. Yep, tough love!
SOMMS, you are just so, so, so TOH when you're being yssob.
Enough about Harris. He's such an attention hog.
Priceline, people.
I've never used them, Shamey. Sorry.
Sorry, Shames ... I've tried Priceline a couple of times and everytime I get to that last click, I chicken out. I ascared, too. I suspect that Mamie has expertise.

Shamey - we allowed our traveling companion to use Priceline to book our NYC hotel - once. It's how we ended up at the odious Paramount Hotel, got less than ten hours of sleep in the first four days, and paid an exhorbitant amount to move to another hotel for the remainder of the trip. Their star ratings are completely fraudulent.
Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of, but then again, it's only for one night and I don't plan to be in the room much.
Did I ever tell you about the room (?????) in Hell's Kitchen I got through an online hotel discounter at the bargain rate of $175? The room was literally as big as the lumpy bed and the toilet and sink were IN the shower. I have a witness.
Only one?
Somms, if I hadn't lucked out in getting a new job here, I would've been camped on your doorstep for help!
I could never work in Retail. I'd be in jail.
No Priceline experience here, either. Sorry!!
There's always the BB&B!

As opposed to performing in one, SOMMS?
(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
Girly - YOU'D be in jail? Could you imagine the two of us working together in a retail environment?
We'd end up in jail, but we'd have a helluva time getting there!

And our clothes would be fab.
I didn't use it. I chickened out.
Ended up getting a decent rate, for the season, at The Time Hotel on 49th.
We're practically neighbors!
Sounds like a plan to me.
why not just use hotels.com
at least i know which path on which to sit.
Harris, have you looked into working in a hotel? It's a form of retail.
I've used Hotels.com in the past, Harris. It's a good site for choosing a hotel, but there are better rates out there.
Papi, you don't have to sit and wait. When I know what the itinerary will be, I'll give it to you.
