Default Had great news and then.................

Most of it was great news anyway. 2 things. I got an odd call from this guy named Jeff. He said he was with a construction crew and they wanted to me with me. I'm thinking, ok this is weird. What would a construction crew want with me? Then he wants to meet me at McDonalds parking lot. So again, I'm thinking this is way strange and was wondering if it was a good idea to even go.
Well, curiosity got the best of me and I went. Turns out it was Amtrack and they want to hire me to travel around and take photos of construction they are doing. Go figure, lol I'm now making 45 an hour plus all expenses paid to take photos of concrete. I can live with that.
The other deal was some Hot Rod magazine called and wanted me to take photos of different cars around the country. Thought that was way cool till they told me what they could/would pay. Turned them down

That's pretty cool, but I agree, a little weird at first. I'm glad it worked out for you!

Sounds cool.. Make the most of the travelling.. It gets a bit lame after a while if you forget certain important things though ,)
