  1. This is the guys I hate in our industry(screen printing). There are a bunch of these marketing/trinket and trash companies that are merely middle men that often never touch the product. A lot of the bigger corporations go to them to get their shirts, bottle openers, golf towels etc. Their buyers are trained to bust the balls of printers like us on price. So for example, they will work us down to say, $3 a printed shirt and resell it to Intel for $10. We do all the printing. Handle the shirts(which they often supply so we can't even make a markup on that). Do art, output film, burn screens package and ship to their customer. We do all the work, they make way more profit than we do. We could sell directly to Intel for much cheaper and we would also make more profit. We restructured 3 years ago and actually got rid of the 3 companies that worked like this.

     

    Here here...I work in screenprinting as well, but at a supplier who ONLY sells to distributors. Well, for 21 more days...then I'm heading back to the blank wholesale industry, where I'll sell to people like YOU :lol:

  2. Who tailgates on grass? :lol:

     

    If you're referring to my pictures, those of us that tailgate in Hammer's lot tailgate on grass...

     

    Not only is it a good price and there are available pissers, my buddy Hammer always makes it a point that I've got a good spot to hit the road after the game, as I've usually got a 400+ mile trip ahead of me.

  3. I've got some online on my webshots account - various Bills game, in Buffalo and elsewhere:

    Feel free to use any that you find suitable, but I wouldn't mind knowing what you're using them for :lol:

  4. Well, just heard back...

     

    I don't have all of the details yet, but I do know that it's official - I'M MOVING!!!

     

    Right now, Orlando is the target area, for the central location. I'll one off with those of you that PM'd me, but will also ask for suggestions from those in the know once I start to narrow things down a bit more.

     

    Can't wait to start a new chapter!

  5. Faustus: Thanks for the thorough response.

     

    I too, have heard a lot of good things about Tampa/St Pete...the only downside is that my inside guy is already in Tampa, so I think that they're wanting me to be a bit more spread out. I do like the idea of pro sports near by - I've grown quite fond of having the Reds & Bengals oa few miles away, not to mention that I'm a UC football season ticket holder (and they play USF in Tampa every other year).

     

    I'll look into the cost of living scenario - thats really one of my biggest concerns.

     

    I'm not looking to buy a house - don't really have any major plans to grow up in the next few years, and if/when I buy, I'll hopefully head back towards Ohio, unless I absolutely love living in FL.

  6. Today I interviewed for an internal promotion that would have me moving from Cinci to the state of Florida in the next 4-6 weeks.

     

    It would be an outside sales/account management position in which I'd be on the road 4 days a week, so I can pretty much live wherever I want, with Central Florida being ideal.

     

    Anyone have any suggestions?

     

    I'm 27 (28 in Oct) and single. I'll be doing pretty well for myself, but have plenty of debt, thanks to student loans, so I wouldn't mind finding a place with manageable cost of living so that I can work on some debt and try to save.

     

    I've got an ex girlfriend, who has remained a good friend, in Jacksonville, so it'd be nice to be close enough to hang out on the weekends and what not, but I'm thinking that I'd rather be further south so as not to invade her territory, as she's lived down there for a couple years now.

     

    After some basic research, I think that I'd like the Daytona Beach area. I'm a NASCAR fan and have been to the Daytona 500 before, and like the idea of it being a destination town with stuff going on all the time. Plus, the cost of living comparisons show it being ~5% higher than Cincinnati, which is more than taken care of by the raise that I'd be getting.

     

    I'm going to get 2-3 weeks in corporate housing to find a place, so I'll definitely be able to check out plenty of apartment complexes, but would like to have a few areas narrowed down by then.

     

    This is obviously contingent on actually getting offered the position, but I know that it is between myself and another individual, and I am better qualified.

     

    Any advice would be appreciated.
