Hey, ed, I assume we're meeting at the south entrance to HUB, next to bus station, correct?

A little overpaid by Oilers standards is a good way of putting it. But then with this new CBA... it seems standards are changing.

Maybe a little overpaid by oilers standards.
Considering his resume though as a leader, assistant captain, Team Canada, etc.
Plus the fact that he's been here so long instead of bailing to another team for a higher salary I'd say he's worth it.
I would consider him and integral oiler. I'd be sad to see him go.

Just a little overpaid then?

3.5 million / year?

I don't think that's too overpaid for Smitty...

Ryan Smyth signs. Overpaid.

How do you do that Tay?
I've gone years doing that job without coming close to an animal attack.

yesterday it was a dog. Today it was a pregnant cat. And this time it DID bite me. It didn't hurt, but those cute little toofs can draw blood! Man, what's with this job and violent animals anyway?

Ed, sounds good to me. I probably won't have access to the car, on account of being at school until 5. And if someone wants to give me a ride home, I'd be much obliged.

Yo, that's terrible Tay. But better the van was stolen while you were safe inside your house rather than you getting car jacked. The terrible part is that they may have been waiting for you. Be cautious! As for the dog that's grossly irresponsible on the owner's part. According to your account the dog gave reason for you to fear on more than one occasion and its owner should have been aware of this. Make it clear, leash that mongrel or no service! Abuse to customer service representatives should never be tolerated and this should be a message made clear by your company policy in my opinion (if it doesn't in the first place that is). Stay safe Tay! Don't put up with such dangerous environments!

As consolation, if you had been injured seriously as a result of the dog's behaviour the dog would most likely be put down. But that scenario is pretty terrible if you ask me.
