Well, in Texas most people say "Eb-i-duh" but I had some profs in college from the NE who said it like that and it was annoying, ha!

Well, hypothetically yes lol. We've had some turnover in our central accounting dept and the software system my department runs, accounting doesn't fully know how to operate so I end up doing way more accounting than I'm suppose to. I spent a few hours today working directly our CFO and explaining the number tied to our "improvement initiatives" because accounting couldn't scrub the data. Luckily, acct is hiring a new person and so are we. It'll make my life easier.
I working on getting my licence. The class is a lot harder than I thought.
Dude, I hear Cali's test is actually pretty difficult due to the trollie cars and random traffic laws.

Any1 change a Sega CD internal batt? Hear it's a hooker. Might be my next project.
:lol: We don't have trolleys in LA, that's san fran. It's pretty easy but the class is a bitch.

LOL I realize that man. One of my buddies lived in SF,& I was fortunate to visit him twice. I figured it was a state-wide test though.

I've lived on the TX coast, 90 miles inland from Houston, in Houston, and in Nashville. The cost of living in Texas is WAY less than Nashville (although I liked that city a lot).

I remember researching this when I was looking at where my company was going to transfer me (native Texan): Arkansas had the best value of the dollar in the US, Texas was second... I think Cali was 49 on the list behind Hawaii.

Fortunately, TX wasn't hit as hard in the '08 recession due to gas, oil, and the medical district (some of the best hospital and physicians in the world here). Dallas also is bit of an IT (and video game industry) hub. Many large corps based out of here that were viable during all that mess.

Also, I think Californians tend to love to spend money more on stupid things than Texans. That said, as soon as everybody and their mother found out they could get a home loan they bought one.

I'm also trading up items to get metal then keys to buy it.

Felt, if I do it. I'd need to learn to sew though, but I've been wanting to learn that too.
