Yup, I've officially resigned from Columbus State.

We do their fire alarm systems too, so I may still bump into you, although their's doesn't break down as much as Columbus States :o

Congrats.

Speaking of things I remember-- I also recall that on your 2nd day (first week or something like that) you were detained by police because you were the victim of a Nigerian netscam. You went into a bank to cash a check and the check you were given was fraudulent. Was a pretty interesting phone call to be getting. "Uhh.. yeah, I'm being detained and don't know when I'll make it back to the office today." Glad to know all worked out for you though.

HAAA! Sounds like new girl's got some stories to share!! :D

Congratulations Ben!

Oh man, that was hilarious. So before anyone knew about these scams (like 2001?), I had my Yeti AS-3 mountain bike on eBay. The reserve was $3000. This dude emails me saying he'd send me a certified bank check for like $4000, and any money left over after having a bike shop take it apart, crate, and ship I would send back to him. It sounded really fucking weird. Never heard of such a thing. Immediate I thought it sounded fishy, so when the check came I took it to the issuing bank, 5/3, on my lunch break. I told the guy straight up, I think this is a scam, but I have no idea how it'd work. I mean, it's a certified bank check. Well, the certified bank check was real, but it was stolen. So, the Delaware county sheriffs detained me for like 3 or 4 hours, escorted me home, confiscated my computer, etc. After they read through my emails (and probably enjoyed my hours and hours of pron) they cleared me. They flew in some security guy from the bank's corporate offices to interview me. It was actually all really funny. Sad thing is, it was one of the first cases in Ohio, I was hurting for money, and I still didn't fall for it. How in the hell are people still falling for this crap?
