Well i'm sorta still around. This is the first time I've been on here in maybe a month or so. There isn't much more to say about The Messengers that Keith and Colin haven't already covered other than maybe to keep in mind that business for them has been pretty slow for the last year or so (probably true for other companies as well) so you might not be able to just walk in and get work like I did 3 years ago (2 years ago? can't remember). I did some work for them this fall but it was on a part time basis, first as a backup, I worked a week here and there filling in when people went away and then when I started working full-time (at MEC) I just did a morning run for a while as well. I ended up quitting because the money to work ratio just was not worth it at all very different than two years ago. Now in fairness if I was working a full day it would balance out a bit better. Still there were always lots of couriers hanging out in the office and I would often see Brian and Dave looking at blank boards (ie: no calls to dispatch to ANYONE). So take that for what it's worth. Honestly at this point I would say if you want to do it because it will be fun then go for it. It will be fun. But if you want to actually make more money on the side its not the best or most reliable way to do that. It takes time to get fast (I'm talking about having a system not being a fast cyclist which only takes you so far as far as being a successful courier and making decent coin) and make decent money at the best of times. The fact that the industry is kind of dying or at least shrinking will only make that worse. I'm not saying don't do it I'm just saying consider why you want to do it and if you do have fun. *end rant*

Oh and hi everybody. I love you. But especially Colin.
