Hello, to everyone;

As all of you probably now I'm from Mexico, the reason I'm putting this message is to see if someone will help me trying to find a job in the Washington Area or anywhere is the US, I don't like living here in Mexico, things are going very bad, i know what it is to live down there in the US and it's great.

For two years I worked as Team Sports Coordinator for Wilson Soprting Goods (football, soocer, basketball and volleyball) currently I'm the brand manager for footwear for Puma here in Mexico. Both companies are great, the thing is Mexico is not, politics and economics are destroying this country.

I have a degree in international business, I have letter of recomendations from my ex-bosses and the NFL Mexico (the CEO) .

I know this has nothing to do with football but I want to give it a try, please don“t close this thread.

If someone wants to contact me please to so at miguel_pasquel@pumamexico.com, or maicopasquel@hotmail.com.

Thanks

Miguel

Not to discourage you but they are doing the same thing here... Not to mention the "War in Iraq".

But I get what your saying, Heck I live in El Paso (little Mexico) and I want to get a job back in DC. Good luck in your efforts!!

When I was at Ft. Huachuca in '96 it snowed so lightly that it barely covered the ground......they shut the whole place down. A good thing no one tried to attack us that day!

I experienced the same thing at Camp Lejeune, NC. There was 1/4 inch in the grass. It took me an hour to drive the 3 miles from my shop to base housing. :lol:

When I lived in Massachusetts, briefly, I experienced the opposite end of the spectrum. It started snowing on my way to work with all the radio stations saying that this was going to be a big Nor'Easter. By lunch time I was getting nervous. There was 3 inches of snow on the ground and it was coming down hard. I kept waiting for them to send us home before it got bad. By 5pm there was 9 inches on the ground, and the natives weren't batting an eye. The next morning it was still snowing with two feet of snow on the ground, and we came in at normal time.

Jansenfan, thats where I grew up. Good 'ol Actionville. Nothing but used car lots and strip clubs. As for the snow, when we would get flurries, school would be let out early and the next day we wouldn't have it at all. Its a riot.

Whats funny about Los Angeles is that when it rains here, we have the same thing. There are car accidents all over the place. People don't leave their house. And the news says, "Stormwatch 7. Los Angeles was pumbled by rain today with flood levels of 1-2 inches. Stay tuned for a special broadcast of Stormwatch 7"

I grew up in MA (call me a homegrown Massho-well, you get the idea). The rule of thumb was that if there was less than a foot of snow on the ground, count on going to school. And if the snow stopped by 5 or 6 am, they'd have it plowed and the buses would be running regularly.

After college I moved to MD, and they'd cancel school if it merely threatened to snow. You guys do have more ice storms than we do, which is certainly cause for cancellations.

Yeah, I truly think that the icy weather we have here is often more of a cause for cancellations, than snow in an area that very well prepared for it.

When I was in Arizona we also used to have tons of accidents when it rained. Those people only saw rain like twice a year, so when it happened they freaked out and pulled over to the side of the road!

Really? Only a foot? Bums.

We do not know anything about what you are talking about.
