puszysty at 07:10pm on 06/03/2008I'm back. Did you miss me?
Not much to say at the moment, considering I'm tired and like "blah, I'm back in Bridgman" :P Thus, I am just going to make a short list of the main points.
1. St. Louis is awesome.
2. It snowed a lot on Tuesday. 10 inches in STL, which is the biggest March snow since like 1923. The plus side to this was that there were no crowds anywhere and very little downtown traffic. When we got to the arch we were the only people there. Minus side was that a lot of stuff was closed that normally wouldn't be.
3. STL drivers are nice. They actually let you over when you signal a for lane change!
4. I still can't believe I actually drove in freeway rush hour traffic in Chicago.
5. I think I am allergic to cats.
Career fairs went well. Talked to a number of companies and got some info about what kind of positions they hire for. The one in STL was more productive, since there were less people (like a LOT less- we waited in a very long line for an hour in Chicago just to get in, but STL had probably less than 40 people through the door in that same amount of time) the employers had the time to address us more personally.
More later.

Yes, we are nice drivers, for the most part. There are some assholes out there.
St. Louis is even better when it's warmer (but not in July, that's too hot).
You'll have to come to a Cardinal's Game and take the Anheuser-Busch brewery tour (that's where I work).

I'm used to dealing with Chicago drivers, who are all assholes and you better not get in their way!

I am allergic to cats and dogs. It's terrible!
