Cynthia came over early to help, but M outdid herself with munchies and building atmosphere, and a interesting ( Read more... )

Well, I am done with Meriwest. They screwed me with a credit card, or rather the company that they chose to provide a credit card screwed me. However, they only lost my business because they would not call me back when I requested a call. When the Envoy was paid, I just went down and closed the account ( Read more... )

OK,awhile back while surfing the internet on some topic or other I ran accross an ad for a e-book that had some stuff that I thought would be very helpful, so I did a little checking and decided that I'd give the book a try, $200, but with a 60 day money back guarantee.

Okay, on the good side, Prop J won so the 49ers will be coming to the South Bay. And Thank God the PG&E disingenuous Prop 16 lost, but it was close... Right to vote.. what a bunch of BS.

At the beginning of this year, I was released from my employer, the Boston Bean Counters, for a couple of reasons, the ones they gave, and the real ones. The ones they gave were "numbers" and that my boss felt that he was the only one who could close any big deal for me. The real one is that they wanted to avoid paying $20K to $30K commissions.

So last week I met with a fence guy that was referred to me via an online service. The guy came out and we discussed the project and said he would send me a quote be the end of the week. That was last week. So I sent him a reminder on Monday. Today I sent an email to him, Can you send me a quote, or at least reply with the name of a competitor ( Read more... )

The von Schrecken crowd goes wild! I just missed the ceremony, but congratulations from both L & M!

For those of you on my twitter account or Linkedin saw my line this morning. I am competing on a job were my competition has been trying gouge my client big time, while they are the incumbent, over $125,000 of gouging to me is rapacious, but they got caught and are now selling fear, uncertainty and doubt to cover the fact that they tried to put ( Read more... )
