i spoke to her and another lady ( both were Hispanic), she said she hadn't noticed we were carrying until we started to leave. i asked her if she carried and she said no, but she thought she would like to have a gun. i told her she should and gave her some carry info cards. they were very open to the fact of open carry.


BTW, not a bit sick. did eat some of the chicken.

Next one

So, any idea where the next meet and greet is? Looking forward to it minus any viruses :D
on a side note, while the interviews went well the company I applied at went with someone more local, so if any of you know of companies looking for a very well travelled tech savvy guy I'd be happy to hear about it :)

Sorry I haven't given any thought as to a location for the next meet as I just got home from being in the hospital for 2.5 weeks yesterday. I will probably come up with something by the end of the weekend or monday evening at the latest.

Sorry to hear about the prolonged hospital stay, hope you are feeling better.

drew9Congrats on your interview!

About places, here are a few RESTAURANT suggestions:

  • Denny's
  • Zaxby's
  • Panera Bread
  • Mayflower Seafood Restaurant
  • Mr. C's Restaurant
  • Parkway House Restaurant
  • Steele Creek Cafe

As for companies, have you created a profile on www.linkedin.com? Many companies put their current job openings on that site and LOTS of recruiters check the site for people when they are looking to fill a position.

  • Ally
  • Bank of America
  • Wells Fargo

Lolll, I completely misread that reply. Since you were talking to drew, I thought you were also giving him a list of companies too. I was looking at it like, well those don't sound like very job options for a tech guy... :cool::lol:

I'm going to be stopping for coffee at Starbucks on Bruton Smith Blvd. on Tuesday, 2/14 if you want to meet up.

That could work I think I am off that day. I'll let you know tonight when I get home. On a side note, met a guy at work today who is interested in open carry, so will send him here when I call him later :)

Thank you all who have wished me well during my medical struggles in the past month. It looks like I am in the final strech of my recovery so please keep your fingers crossed and those of you who are willing a prayer or two can't hurt.

I am looking forward to the next meet and wish to thank those who have begun planning it without me as I am stronger than I was but still fairly weak.

I will be going to a Starbucks in Mooresville in the afternoon of the 14th. Anyone that wants to meetup let me know.

2 starbucks on the 14th? :D any chance we could combine the two(depending on what Caliber's and G22's schedules are like, I'm off that day)? just an idea.

I'm bringing my mother with me and she is not able to go until after lunch. I will ask her if she has other time frame restrictions and get back to yall. As far as the location goes, I could meet halfway in the Huntersville/Conelius area.

Update: We're available to meet any time between 12:30pm and 3:30pm for Tuesday.
