We actually met when we were both working at a sign company. He was of course in the shop. I was assistant to the VP. Any way our group did all the permitting and survey work for the company. For example when Bank of America buys a bank we send teams out to where ever all the branches (all over the US) are and take measurements and pictures of EVERYTHING so we can change it all out. Then we had to get the appropriate permits for each jurisdiction for the signage and see what's allowed and such. Was sometimes a BIG pain depending on the area.

Typically a change out happpens over a long weekend. On Friday it was NationsBank, on Tuesday morning they were all Bank of America. It was very stressful, but very amazing when it all came together.

I really liked that movie... so badass!

just got off the phone with the bank, they dont know where it came from, but there was just a phone number listed on the charge, so i called that, talked to "the customer service department", and a lady cancelled my "account" and said that my money will be refunded and gave me a cancellation number. She would not tell me what company this was from. Sooo I called the bank and I have to wait to see if that money will actually be refunded before they can persue it. GAY.

Other than that its nice and sunny here.

Finished off with some SeaFoam and Valvoline 10w-40

I'll start the day off tomorrow with a GNC protein bar and a freeze plug for a Buick...I eat AND work while at work, and don't camp out too much; it's an odd concept I know.
