    Surprise Career Change

    So this morning I am in my machine slinging cans like any other Thursday. I get a call from my supervisor. He asks my exact location and tells me to shut down and wait for him to arive. I'm like OH FUDGE what the hell did I do this time. He showes up and informes me I'm not in trouble..WEW. Then I am asked if I would consider a new position. He then explains the 800 square foot shop and office that had just been completed is for graphic design. So he offeres me the job & shop. I have like no time to think about it but I said yes. Just like that I'm done as a driver/operator. I went in, parked the truck & an hour later 35 thousand dollars of equipment is delivered. I have a thremal printer and a few diffrent plotters from 10 to 48 inches not to mention a brand new computer, which I promptly informed him the monitor was way to small. I need a 20 to 24 inch lcd. I got a no problem..& let me know what else you need. I guess being the shop computer geek has paid off. Now I'm training and soon will be lettering everything from police cars to to street signs & god knows what else.
    I have 4 rolls of practice vinyl to cut up over the next few weeks. Guess I'll be doing my own boat graphics and lettering now.

                              Congrats on the job, Tom.

                              Be sure to let us know when you start working with the 24k gold leaf for the fire trucks - now that would look nice on a boat!
