   Yes, the signs were moved back and created a lot of confusion.  Its interesting how those paper signs were up on all the poles for a least a week about proposed changes, the signs were changed and that the parking management was unaware!!!!  Business as usual.

	Slugs Unite!

	I just got off the phone with Mr Candido and he didn't authorize the move of the signs yesterday, saying he knows that making a such a change requires proper "socializing" or getting the word out. He directed his staff to go put the signs back the way they were. Hopefully it's fixed before tonight. He apologized and is not sure how it happened.

	Mr. XXX, We apologize for the inconvenience. The changes that were made were not authorized or coordinated as they should be. We have returned the slug line signs back to their original locations. Thanks. Robert H. Candido Assistant Building Manager

	According to the Pentagon Building Management Office, they emailed me and stated that: "An unauthorized change happened over the weekend, and we are correcting the issue today.." I take that to mean that either somebody made the changes without approval and that they are changing the signs back to the way they were. Now with that said, maybe we "slugs" need to get together and recommend how things should be changes (if any changes are needed at all!)

	I don't know either event the Patrol Officer pointed me in the wrong direction. I really wish someone would tell us as to why we need another challenge to get out of an already upserd traffic situation? At first I thought it was a prank does any one know it it is intended to stay this way? Thanks and Happy Commuting

	I agree with they don't manage the "Slug Program" but they do manage the parking lot, signage, traffic flow, etc. I would go with the flow for this week and if it doesn't improve, start calling and emailing. Slugs Unite!

	It was very confusing last night and frustrating. The Pentagon Building Management manages the locations of the SLUG lines, or so I'm told. I called their office to complain and they said I needed to talk to Mr Bob Candido who was not available. I sent him an email stating all the problems we experienced and asked him to call me back. Their number if anyone is interested is 703-697-7351.
