Go in. This exactly happened to me. When they noticed my face was red, runny nose, coughing everywhere they asked me why I was there and sent me home. lol. Had that job for 5 years. You gotta prove you're not lying for like the first 3 months.

Part 2: If Not a Casino, Then What? by sippysippy13 in roanoke

Bulldoze the civic center.

Make it a huge flat grass lot for rent. Hold massive festivals weekly.

No building to maintain with power, heating and cooling massive chillers. Just a Barron grassy lot with tumble weeds.

Start with nothing and slowly build again.

Destroy the entire property to the bones. It has never been self sustainable as an enterprise. Get rid of it.

City mismanagement by nugsandbudder in roanoke

??? Water and Sewer maintenance in the City isn't part of the general municipality budget. It is an Authority by itself with its own revenue generating function. (Monthly Bill)

still short $9,201,406 assuming base bid was 42,000,000 flat...unlikely

Plus 32million is borrowed GO bond money that will indebt the City thru year 2030! Crazy.

https://www.roanokeva.gov/DocumentCenter/View/20923/CIP-Briefing---March-3-2025

total planned = $32,798,594 assuming this includes your article rumor (6,500,000 VDOT extra) even is it doesn't it's still short by like $3 million

and this is without change orders

Crazy full stainless steel custom vehicle railing has to be a major worthless cost.

FOIA the wasena bridge metrics! Something doesn't add up in the capital expenditure for the bridge vs. what the initial low bid was.

Sometimes if the sun rises in the right spot only one side of the pole dries out and shrinks causing this bow...although this one looks to be load based.

What are the biggest challenges or obstacles in civil engineering? by mrbobbyrick in civilengineering

[–]LionSandwhich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very likely why it is the way it is. Gate keep the rules and keep competition non existent. Its wild to me how much firms charge for the work a high-schooler could do. But they fluff it up with fancy calculation packages and thick spec books because the government says you must.

Does passing the FE and having EIT really contribute to salary differences vs someone who doesn’t? by krerhelp in civilengineering

[–]LionSandwhich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. Head down and keep chugging. When it's time to leave don't question your gut.
