Get into administration- It has become bloated and unnecessary


There are still plenty of jobs in middle management out there and is one of the hardest positions to fill in our company. In a world of specialization, it's hard to find people who have some knowledge in many fields and can manage people.

They sound best live on the street in the Quarter. For some reason, they just capture what I imagine a street band playing in the Quarter would sound like.

The singer is very good.
Man, I'm just commenting on why people bash it so much. I commented that the perception is that the rumors and news reports don't support the supposed guidelines they operate on.

I'm purely speculating that the selective admissions also take into account whether the students they are looking at are top athletes when looking at their admissions scores compared with other students trying to get in. It's not a stretch to imagine this.

But honestly, IDGAF. Again, you are kind of proving my point.

This is before they start bringing in the recruits. And I never said it was a bad school. I'm just commenting on the things being reported from the high school.

They absolutely have admission standards & testing.


It's hard to convince anyone that they stand by this when you look at their athletic teams.
I don't think people are obsessed with beating on Uhigh, but it's an easy target. It's a public school that has tuition and claims it's admissions are not selective. But they are loaded with kids of connected parents and kids who are phenomenal athletes. I think most people see it for what it really is. When you hear of stories about kids not paying tuition, discipline problems, and ineligible players, it just backs up the assumptions that most people have about the school.

And I would assume most people don't really give a rats frick about Uhigh, but it's fun to ruffle the feathers of those that do.

For Varsity shows we had a classmate that lived behind Chimes, would park and pregame there then walk to the show. We were all broke but I dont have any memory of thinking it was expensive.


I saw a ton of shows there from 1998-2015. When I was in college, I was super broke. But we would have a few before we went, hit a couple tokes in the show, and nurse a few beers and it was all good. I was always a sucker for buying merch too. I literally spent all my disposable income hanging out at the Varsity, Bayou, and later on North Gate Tavern.

I do most of my shopping there for a family of 4. I buy meat on sale at Albertson's and Hi Nabor. It's great for the staples. Specialty items are a little harder to find there.

They did have lambchops and leg of lamb on sale the other day for 6.99/lb. I can't even find lamb in most grocery stores around here.
I'm surprised that In a Jam, Call Sam hasn't entered the conversation. He doesn't just practice law, but beats the shite out of women and children.

frick that fat frick

Extremely dark tint looks ghetto and cheap to me.
My brother just went to most of the cities listed so far, but the best one he claimed was Tallinn. It's probably under the radar for most people and he said it was much cheaper than the other cities.

They may be boycotting it because they can't control what books are sold.

I can tell most of you all do not use the libraries. I bring my son often to the main library because he likes to study there. It's almost always packed. I don't know how much traffic any of the other locations get. The place is always clean and very professionally run.

Could they get by with less money, I'm sure of it. But it seems to be the only city government entity that is being responsible with the money they are given and not just spending it because "we have it". I would rather them raid some of the other government funds that are poorly run and rife with corruption.

For some kids, these libraries are the only place they can go to access the resources it provides. I would start looking at these "community centers" that definitely don't provide the return on investment that the libraries are providing.
