    Anyone who has ever worked in media relations understands that you are often times the punching bag for the head coach or manager ... it can take a toll and make you miserable during the season.

    ..also... about this job posting being pulled from teamworkonline. Just speculating, but if Gregg Elkin has taken a new position at Texas-Arlington the Fire might want to bring in a new VP of Communications before hiring a lower-level member of the communications team.

    Just a thought.

    Ha, you're right. I can only imagine what he must have said during my one foray into radio, a soccer game my sophomore year that showed in a hurry that my future wasn't going to be behind a microphone.

    I assume "the Chicago area" must be a radius of 200 miles.

    All I know is I was paying $900 for a 1BR apt. in an average suburb of Chicago -- in 2001.

    Good heavens. Did that come with maid service, gold fixtures in the bathroom and a massage bed? Maybe a mistress on the side? $900 per month for a one-bedroom?!!?

    I'm paying $1046 for a 1BR and I'm 20 miles from the nearest "big city" of Hartford.

    The best thing to do for this job is to do a reverse commute -- live in the city, commute to the suburbs. You'll find cheaper housing in the city and can take a train. I live downtown and pay $1300 for a 2-bed, 2-bath, 2-level apartment. There are trains to take out there, or you can leave early to beat traffic, which is a hell of a lot better than paying $900 for a 1-bed, IMO.

    I'm paying $1,100 for a 2BR in a major metro suburb. Decent apartments in the actual city in which I work are at least twice that.
