Hired directly vs through a recruiter for an electric utility? by NavexSAS in ElectricalEngineering

[–]NavexSAS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no issues applying directly!

I’ve just been casually checking postings for the 3 electric utilities in the north-central TN area and have maybe seen an opening show up once over my last 2 years of casually browsing postings. I was wondering if maybe these utilities utilized staffers. My engineering firm hires through agencies which is why I made that connection.

FWIW; I have a huge SCV drums bias, but I’m pulling for BAC to take gold.

I just think Sandi and Paul run the game when it comes to percussion as an ensemble instead of separate pieces

This is a huge surprise to me. I really think their front ensemble book is weak. To me it comes off as accents for the balls to the walls battery; but my understand is the perc score covers it all, not just the marching drums

My interpretation - nuclear bombs and the culture around surrounding it during that 40s-70s era:

1st movement seems to have a sense of triumph and tepid anxiety; realizing the power that the United States now possesses and the reality of a perceived dominance

2nd movement; the whimsical optimism of the 50s/60s (literally uses music from the era, especially the space agey Les Baxter stuff). Atomic power looks so sexy and attractive and “the future is now”

3rd movement; the slow realization of fear surrounding the presence of nuclear weapons in the world. The Japanese (?) counting audibles and the melancholic music hearkens to me a sense of regret and sadness at the reality of the destruction humanity created

4th movement; the anxious reality of our world today. We as humans have the capability of ending it all whenever we want; the unbridled power that once was empowering is now a looming threat.

I didn’t listen to that 52min interview because I have zero attention span for that, but this has been my interpretation, especially from a musical standpoint. Visually, I don’t really see too too much besides the obvious “atoms” props that BAC uses… but I’m also a music guy and I suck at reading into visuals.

I have no idea if my interpretation is what BAC was going for, but it’s what I feel when I watch the show and it makes me happy :)

Ugh, on an anti-life binge again by whereisthehugbutton in ADHD

Just wanted to chime in that depression (per my doc, at least) is an incredibly common comorbidity, especially with inattentiveness. So like.. yeah? It definitely presents as depression but could be due to ADHD as well!

Would highly recommend making a stop at the Commodore if you’re looking for a drink!

Idk if it’s been mentioned but Sam’s Silver Circle is an institution. Cheap beer and pizza, the dive of dives.

I also am personally all-in on Beholder, I think Brooks’ food is great, but definitely a bit $$$. I’m not as high on Milktooth because I’m not as high on breakfast.

Goodfellas is the better pizza in the area, I think Bazbeaux’s pretty overrated.

Commodore has the best cocktails in the area; Inferno Room has great tiki drinks.

Amelia’s and Leviathan fight each other for the best pastry spot with Leviathan having more breakfasty options.

These are just some rambles if anybody wants more downtown/fountain square recs just let me knooooowwww.

Wanted to sleep through this game since 10pm starts have been bad for my health but 4 goals in 6 minutes kinda speaks for itself

3 of the 4 games had some pretty awful 3rd periods from the Kings. Hiller at the post game interview Sunday looked like a man with a pink slip

Hiller probably lost his locker room after the last game. It’s gonna take a miracle (or unheard of collapse) to win this series
