I learned that I received a promotion today. The new position is a higher paygrade than my previous position, yet I still won't be receiving a raise. At least I now have a fancy title:
Technology Solutions Architect.

I figure they need to pay me more before I start providing any solutions

I learned today that you can order a $1200 fuel tank from Harley Davidson for a specific anniversary model with special emblems and paint that only came out ONE year and the new tank you recieve will be DIFFERENT than the one you removed in a way that won't allow you to just simply replace it without having to call Harley...have the parts manager figure out what is going on and hope like hell you can get some kind of fitting(because it's not something you will find ANYWHERE else) to be able to put this POS back together!
