I applied for a job with Ryland. I applied for the management training program through the FSU career center and I think I applied for a warranty administrator job or something through Monster.com or something like that. I've applied for so many jobs since graduating that I can't even keep track!

Warranty admin, those are the people in the office that take the calls from angry homeowners. You dont want that job. They are the ones that schedule my appointments and deal with home owners on the phone. Then I go out and deal with em in person.

Yeah, I just applied because it was local. I would really like to get into their management program though. From the description on the FSU site it's a 3 year program! I'll bet that would put my management degree to good use. 3 YEARS!! Damn that's a long time.

This is what I was speaking about, some of you may like this. Pictures of it installed in an 04+ F-150. I believe it's an epoxy molded base. Just pour the ingredients in the cupholder and it forms a mold. Can't beat the $29.99 price tag. Tell them I linked you to it and it'll cost you an additional...only kidding.

Hey thats my truck. What's nice is I can remove it by just pulling it out of the cup holder, no bolts.

I used poly resin. Make a mold. DO NOT pour resin in cup holder as it heats up & will blister paint. You can use any product that won't shrink.

Just for info... be carefull how and where you mount a laptop, I use one in my company ford van...
Make SURE its mounted and not just stuck in a cup holder, this would pose a danger in a wreck and also make Sure its not in a AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT zone....Its no fun and can be near deadly getting a laptop up beside the head from a air bag.. I myself didn't think about this, intil a local cop about got killed, not from the wreck, but from the laptop hitting him in the head from the pas side air bag firing it off the mount.....
