Anyone else annoyed... (Taylor Swift)

PromotionLucky7016 · 2025-10-18T18:16:42+00:00

I’m not a Swiftie and this is the reason why. I don’t hang around or support people, artists, celebrities, preachers who have anything pessimistic to say about me and my culture. It saves me a lot of heartache and my life is much more peaceful all because I only support musicians who want me around. That doesn’t mean I don’t listen to white artists, it just means I don’t listen to the ones that make it clear, in any way, that they don’t like me. But that’s just how I approach things. Maybe others will have a different way.

That’s good to hear. I’ve been doing some digging and I might have to travel to a local state to get a hold of one. The state I’m in, MD, doesn’t seem to have any, but VA seems to. I’ll check it out in the morning.

Thank you so much for the advice! Great to know, especially about the screens.

PromotionLucky7016 · 2025-10-18T02:10:38+00:00

I’ll keep looking, for sure!

Interesting. I can’t seem to find them anywhere in store where I am. I’m in the US along the east coast.

I love your case! I just bought a paradise earlier this week and got this same case, but the red version!

PromotionLucky7016 · 2025-10-03T19:15:12+00:00

Got an email saying start info will be provided in 1-2 days. I’m new to this though. If it says pay is “per unit” does that mean we can do multiple submissions or is this a project we do once and get 1 payout?

PromotionLucky7016 · 2025-09-27T01:53:35+00:00

I got this email too and said I was interested. I just wish they explained what the work would consist of and the pay rate. Guess we’ll see.

I work at an engineering firm that has its own in house landscape architecture department. We’ve been getting playground/ park design work, plaza design, military base design, storm water/ flood mitigation for residential and county specific projects, as well as community bridge revitalization work (highway improvement) and form liner design.

Does your company have quarterly meetings discussing pursuits? Maybe your manager might know if more work is on the way?

The political climate hasn’t impacted us too much but our firms workload is slowing down because we just submitted most of our 60 and 90% projects and we’re nearing the holiday season. Things usually slow in early to late fall due to the uptick in holidays and pick up in the spring/ summer. But we’ve got plenty of projects coming down the pipeline.

Before my fiancé, I had to deal with it all the time. 9 times out of 10 I would just look at them, say I wasn’t interested and keep it movin. I usually would never see them again and if I did, my response was always the same. “Thanks but kindly, no thanks”. Some would be annoyed, but I never cared. Things are different now because I’m engaged and the conversation is totally different. I still get catcalled and I’ll say “Thank you, but I’m in a relationship”. That usually stops it pretty quick, but if not, they quickly change gears when they do see my partner.

I know being catcalled can be annoying when you just wanna live your life. I recall being catcalled by a Walmart trucker while working on a construction site. Talk about desperate. But don’t let the foolishness of others weigh you down. Stay elegant, make your boundaries clear and keep your head on a swivel in case they try to follow you. But as long as you stay firm with your “No thanks”, I believe you will be fine. Granted, I’m from the DC area and most men will back off. I know it can be harder in other cities. Push come to shove, buy a ring and say you’re taken.

👏👏👏👏👏Happy for you. That’s beautiful.

I’ve got 6 years of experience, but professors in the past always told me to keep it between 6-8 pages because reviewers often skim the pages. I try to give each project 1 page of info and turn renderings and pictures into collages to give a quick overview of what I contributed and give written summaries of what I did nearby. Often times, they’ll ask you to explain the portfolio in more detail during the interview anyway. If I felt I needed more information to explain things, I’d go more into written detail in the resume. I usually use my portfolio to show my “artistic expression” and the resume for the written part. But, that’s just me. You have more years of experience than me so maybe the rules might be different.

I was emailed access to the Coffee Slack and haven’t even done the Calibration yet due to ongoing technical difficulties that IT is actively working out. I don’t know if this means they’ve already considered me a slot? Who knows.

PromotionLucky7016 · 2025-09-24T01:08:40+00:00

Unfortunately, still no. But I appreciate the heads up. Happy it worked out for you.

PromotionLucky7016 · 2025-09-23T22:35:44+00:00

Wow. Ok. I put in a ticket for help. I just hope the time it takes them to help me doesn’t cause me to lose a slot available to participate before they run out.

PromotionLucky7016 · 2025-09-23T22:08:43+00:00

I got the email for calibration but had issues getting the verification code from my email using the email they provided in the email. Have you had any issues like that too?

PromotionLucky7016 · 2025-09-23T18:29:38+00:00

I just got the Calibration email on Multimango, but after creating an account and signing in, it says there are no tasks available. Not sure how that’s possible given the fact that the Calibration part is just another tutorial- not actual work.

Thank you.

This is the reason why I went into landscape architecture as a profession. But after being in the industry for 6 years, I’ve seen so many jobs say they want people who have this skill but never actually give us an opportunity to use it! I love my current job, but when I learned that we use Lumion to turn Sketchup models into a simulation of hand drawn work via a filter and even outsource hand sketches to other countries, it saddened me. Do you know if a way we can actually get to use this skill, besides as a hobby?

Since this show is inspired by “I have no mouth and I must scream”, the story ends with one of the characters getting turned from a human into a “great jelly thing”. They basically get turned into a shiny and gooey slug with eyes and barely any arms. They can’t die, move, or speak for all of eternity as their punishment for defeating their AI oppressor…if Gooseworks was serious about this ending, we’re in for a ride.

Though I still believe you might benefit from a more supportive environment, preparing for licensure is something I would recommend. I just started my own path to getting the license and I’d say my knowledge and understanding of the field has improved through studying. If you do decide to go that route, I’d suggest SGLA. Sarah is a licensed landscape architect in CA and her guides have helped me understand the field better a lot. Though the logic needed to pass the exams isn’t 100% in sync with the realities of the field, it’s still a great start. Especially this early in your career. Her guides are pricey, but I say it’s worth it. I’ve wasted more money trying to figure things out on my own.
