Random Google

Just before lunch, got a phone call from my friend Chad. He had an urgent request from Google to take down the moving display that he had built for their commercial about Google Fiber (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffHLIZh0PHg), and needed about 3 hours of help to take it all down.

Luckily, I was in no mood to finish off my day in a Word Document for a project, and had nothing scheduled.

Now, I get to say I worked as a contractor for Google as his usual folks were booked already. Sadly, most of the stuff he wanted hadn't been maintained, as they didn't keep up his maintenance plan, but he did get to take the metal support structure for other projects, a few circuit boards, and motors. Google folks kept the iconic bunny, and the soccer field. The buildings went into the trash, along with the track. All but 1 car had already been taking either by staffers or visitors, and we kept some other odds and ends.

All-in-all a pretty easy way to get a Google nod, and few extra bucks.
