    This doesnt really relate to anything specific but I thought I would share my first day of work at the Air Canada Centre. Today was just an orientation and fun day so I didnt have to actually "work", but still got paid. So after all of the orientation and movies and forms, we got to go on a tour. That was the best part. We got to go in the lockerrooms and pretty much everywhere to familiarize ourselves. I had to slap my hands to resist taking things (I didnt want to get fired before I even worked an official shift). When I went in the dressing room there in a pile on the bench was Andrea Bargnani's new jersey and shorts and a gigantic pair of shoes that dwarfed mine in comparison. We also got to go into their training room/practise gym. The court is so nice [​IMG] I couldnt help myself but ask to dribble one of the new balls to see what all the fuss is about. IMO they feel amazing. I was expecting some piece of crap like Shaq said. Also, my mouth watered when I walked past literally garbage bags FULL of the nicest BIGGEST Jordans, Nikes, Shox, and all the best ball shoes. I had to fight tempation. Then after that we had a scavenger hunt and called it a night. I wish I remembered to bring my digital camera to post some pics for everyone, but Im not sure if they would have liked that anyways. Hopefully I can get a little bit of inside information on the Raptors this season or better yet, get to meet some of them.

    You know he probably has one of the jobs where you face the crowd for the whole game. That would be the worst, knowing the action is right behind you and you can't look at it.

    Don't think he has access to the lounge. I sent him a PM telling him how to join when I moved the thread here, but I guess his 0.13 posts per day held back his admission...
