Long time, no talk team! Long story short, I work for an AV company and we are installing some sound-masking speakers for Google out of our Austin, Texas branch. Google has requested these be painted, and we don't normally offer that type of service. I have used sign companies in the past to do this for us (shoutout to Piros Signs in STL for helping us at Wrigley Field!), but we are trying to keep it local to Austin. Anything you guys can do to help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

McGill Marketing Group is needing an experienced Plastics Lead. This person needs to take the lead in our plastic face pulling department. We are a fast-paced work environment, so you need to be able to work quickly and accurately. This job is located in Cape Girardeau, Missouri (halfway between St. Louis and Memphis). This job would require the candidate to be in-house. Right candidate will grow this area of our business. Please send your resume to Mike Ketcherside at mike@mcgillmarketing.com. Please direct any additional questions to that email as well.

God bless you Sean. I hope that none of your friends or family were hurt. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to let me know.

AMEN!

Y'all nasty... but I like it.

Erik, granted we are not a sign shop, but I can tell you that we have sold more straight lengths than kits and cabinets lately. Some shops just seem more willing to fabricate their own cabinets.

For all of you in the San Diego area, how did that work out for you last night?

Thanks Sean, especially since I was considering selling my house... you know, like sometime in my life. Our president is a joke (please take note that I didn't capitalize his title). I'm so sick of this.

I don't even know what to think about it honestly. I forgot that now we a country of enablers, that we are supposed to take care of those less fortunate. How about no, Sparky? If I choose not to have health insurance, that is a choice, therefore it cannot be taxed. However, according to our wonderful new law, now we choose between insurance or a tax. That, my friends, is a choice between two devils. I can either pay a corrupt insurance company or a corrupt government. My, what wonderful choices! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Why would I ever want to keep my own money that I worked my ass off to earn... you're right... I'll give it away! An even better option is to give it to the leeches the suck on the government's teet every chance they get because our welfare system is so screwed up that everyone takes advantage of it. You have an iPhone, a flat screen tv, new rims, and rockin' kicks, but you're on food stamps? Makes sense. The worst part is that the majority of Americans just sit there with a goofy ass grin on their faces and pretend like everything is hunky dory. Did everyone else get some sort of "happy drug" that I missed? Was I absent from school the day that everyone seemed to get magically brainwashed by the media and believed everything that they said? I guess I also missed the time that my generation accepted that it was okay to know more about Snooki and the Kardashians than the economy. Everyone is just walking around like America didn't change yesterday. Our whole future changed yesterday. Everyone is entitiled to their own opinion, and I am not going to belittle you or be disrespectful to you if your opinion is different than mine. However, i am BEGGING you... please be an informed citizen this November. Please vote responsibly. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND DO NOT TRUST THE MEDIA'S RESEARCH! You are your own person with your own brain.

Congratulations guys! Best of luck

Matt, margaritas will be a definite at the Tri-States show! Gary... don't make me come through this computer. I may be short, but I'm a scrapper and I'm from St. Louis. We don't mess around there.

Brian, yes. Try to take it easy on them... it's not their fault they have a job that everyone hates. Dominic, dream big my friend. Someone has to have that dream for humanity to have any sort of future... it may as well be us. Erik, you know the hug I'm talking about... the kind of hug where you don't know what to do, or someone is hugging you that you don't know all that well, or just attacked you with a hug out of nowhere. The ass-out hug is always awkward. You're welcome for the image in your head now.

I woke up in a happy mood today. That hasn't happened in quite some time, so I wanted to pass my happiness on to all of you. For the past few weeks, I have allowed work to seriously stress me out. I had so much stuff to do that I didn't know where to start. I couldn't keep up with the amount of quote requests coming in, balanced with aluminum purchasing, all while trying to train our new CSR. Point being, I was letting myself get so worked up that it spilled over to my personal life. I was tired all the time, crabby, and I swear I could feel my blood pressure rise when I walked in the door every morning. Yesterday I reached my breaking point. I said, "It's about fuck-this-shit o'clock and I need a margarita." So I did. As always, my mind is full of infinite wisdom after alcohol has been consumed, so I gave myself a nice little pep talk. If you're stressed out at work, or at home, this may help you. If not, I hope it will at least provide some entertainment... [WARNING: I'm a little weird, so just prepare yourselves] It could be worse. I could be rotting in jail for a crime I didn't commit. I don't have nearly as much pressure on me as Obama does, considering half of the nation hates him. I could be unemployed. Pro: I wouldn't be nearly as stressed about work. Con: I would be much more stressed about not having a job. I have a roof over my head and clothes on my body. Right there I'm better off than the majority of people in third-world countries. I have access to clean water. Always a plus in my book. In the last year, I have had E.Coli, cancer, food poisoning, and a stroke. I'm healthy as of this moment, and isn't this moment the only one that really matters? Smile at someone. Say something encouraging to someone that is struggling. Be a friend. Tell your mom/dad/siblings/significant other/WHOMEVER that you love them. Have so much energy that you can't help but spread it around. Create a positive aura. Give whole body hugs, not the "ass out" kind (you know the kind where you wrap your arms around someone, but your ass is still awkwardly sticking out? Dedicate yourself to the hug). Be the kind of person you would want to meet. I know this all sounds a little corny (okay, a lot of corny), but I just wanted to let all of you know that I'm sending a smile and a high-five your way. You're doing a great job. Keep up the hard work. Now give yourself a hug cause YOU RULE! P.S. I'm even sending a smile and a high-five to you Dominic, regardless of your threats of sending me a Kings jersey. I'm just that nice. You're welcome.

Here comes the BOOM!

Steve, you're completely right. Knowing STL, people will definitely turn to bullets sadly. Brian, haven't you read the papers?! According to the media, we LOVE the government! The government is turning around! It's going to be butterflies and roses and rainbows from here on out! You didn't get that memo? Yeah, me neither. USA is going to hell in a handbasket. Or just become China's bitch some more. Whichever comes first.
