I added to the contract the price of replacing every tool in my truck( I didn't care if I got the job, but I did) then I took the oldest and most beat up truck my company had( a real piece of crap) we were the only truck not broken into.

BO Grabs Dem Delegates Face Time on Network News Networks may limit convention coverage By DAVID PAUL KUHN \| 7/8/08, politico.com TV networks may cut some Democratic coverage to balance the anticipated cost of moving the venue of Barack Obama's nomination acceptance speech to Denver's Invesco Field. Major television networks are considering curtailing coverage of the Democratic National Convention after Monday’s announcement that Barack Obama will accept his party's nomination in a Denver stadium. According to several broadcast executives, the networks will still cover all the major speeches. But beyond that, all options are open as they look for savings to balance out the anticipated costs surrounding the stadium event. The acceptance event is an unexpected departure from the traditional convention hall format for which they have spent months planning. Network executives expect Obama’s relatively late-breaking decision to speak at Invesco Field at Mile High, a 76,000-seat football stadium, could add hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs to already cash-strapped news divisions. Each network has budgeted millions to cover the political conventions, but that spending is already accounted for in specific costs ranging from hotel rooms to staffing to building convention platforms. For most networks, any additional outlays for the convention would come out of their 2008 campaign budget. Obama’s decision “makes it enormously more expensive,” said Paul Friedman, senior vice president at CBS News. “It does add to the overall question of how the networks should cover what is a non-news event.”
