Found a good job - one of the best

I put a resume in at Wholesale Sports and and they asked me in for an interview the next day. They wanted me to start at the gun counter that afternoon. Unfortunately, I had to wait until the next day. I just finished my second day and I've been really enjoying it. I'll have a steep learning curve for a while yet, especially in reloading but they are really happy with my work so far. I'll be doing research on lots of things at this box for a while.

I wish you the best. You can do it.

Congrats on the job. Is that Edmonton or Calgary Wholesale sports? Hope its Edmonton we need more than one person who is willing to help people.

Congrats. It nice to be able to do what you enjoy and do something that challanges you as well. Good luck.

Edmonton store.

Thanks guys

congrats on the job, hope you guys get some 3/8 dovetail .22 rings in soon, gloss finish

Congrats on the job. Maybe you can convice them to expand on the dog section. I dont know about edmonton but Lethbridge doesnt carry electric collars.

Edmonton has a couple e-collars in. I've had my eye on the two collar system there for $380 for a couple weeks now. There is also an e-fence e-collar combo there. I'll ask about getting a few more e-collars in. They seem to like Innotek.

i need a few gopher whistles!!!! k.c,s gopher whistles!!

I'm glade you found a job you like.

Congrats on the job, Mom. Good luck.

Good for you NHM! Next time I'm in "The 'Chuck" I'll pop in to say hi.

When people say "the chuck" in my experience they are refering to "the salt-chuck" or the ocean.

Never heard of Edmonton refered to as "the chuck" before.

Good luck on your new job NHM.

I think Edmonchuck came from the high Ukrainian content. Sort of like the gateway to the Yukon saying. (because there is a Uke on every corner)

I think I actually met you last Thursday at the gun counter as I was in looking for a Scope for the Ruger K10/22T, landed up not buying a scope from the store as the buddy I was there with volunteered that he had a spare (new in box) 4-12x40 Bushnell that he would part with very cheap.
Congrats on the new job, I hope it works out well for you.

again need more whistles

Hey Duffy,

It's a pretty commonly used slang term here in Calgary, however I'm not sure about the Ukrainian part though. From what I understand of it's origin's is well....uh...well.... Oh hell, I think it is a vomiting reference. Sorry.

Yup...totally a Ukrainian reference. Think about how many Ukrainian names end in "chuck". I'm sure it was never meant to be offensive. It just means there are lots of Ukrainians in Edmonton.

Hey, I just started in the new Calgary store a couple of weeks ago. It's great isn't it!!

Good luck and most importantly,have fun.

Any special deals for your "Friends"??

If you are looking for E-collars look at the Collar Clinic (I eastern US) on the Web. Good people that do a great job of fixing collars with prompt service I have used them for over 15 years now. they sell all the top brands and also sell total reconditioned units ....puphood

Looking for an over /under 28 or 20 ga. Let me know what you have and I would be a happy man to buy it off you. Best of luck in the job. With a bit of luck you will last longer than most. Was in there today and out of 20 or so employees recognized the cashier.
