yeah, i've been training now for 8 years. I debuted on the circuit last year. I'm still very green compared to other guys in the indies so i don't get many bookings outside my home promotion of Falling Starr Wrestling or FSW for short but my FSW bookings are quite regular. My next booking is this weekend. i'm booked to compete in a rumble match but it's going to be royal rumble style with 20 wrestlers. the match starts off with 2 guys in the ring and then every 90 seconds another wrestler enters the match untill all 20 have entered. the winner is the last guy standing and gets a shot at the FSW championship. To win you have to eliminate the others by throwing them over the top rope so that both their feet hit the floor.

Test Laboratory Manager
"Every position must be held to the last man: there must be no retirement. With our backs to the wall and believing in the justice of our cause, each one of us must fight on to the end."

Earl Douglas Haig, Order to the British Army, 12 April 1918

So death, the most terrifying of ills, is nothing to us, since so long as we exist, death is not with us; but when death comes, then we do not exist. It does not then concern either the living or the dead, since the former it is not, and the latter are no more.

10 hour shifts sound tough. I think the longest I've worked is 7 hours.

I love the variety of jobs you guys have. I have no idea where I'll end up.
