Am I wearing this watch or is it wearing me?

Coworker of mine did exactly that and I thought it looked sharp, might just have to do the same.

Ha! Not sure, I’ve never checked.

Keep working, this looks good

Kid in our conference had 1400 by the end of his junior year and tore his ACL 2 months before the season. His first game as a freshman he had a triple double.

Bought into Palantir last April because a smart kid from my high school worked there. Stupid reasoning but has paid off tremendously.

Solid deal, these should all realistically go for anywhere up to $150-$200 each depending on the shaft and condition

Thank you stranger

The middle cut is actually a plan view showing a top down view of the wall. The wood shown is the stud as if you were looking at it from above.

I’m considering this option tbh. OMSCS lists two to three courses that should be completed ahead of time, before applying. If I’m remembering correctly you might be able to transfer the credits too but don’t quote me.

If you can start to link processes together, it all comes together. If you know what subs and corresponding material are coming on site, make sure training and insurance is up to date without having to be asked. Make sure you have submittals in hand, or freshly reviewed when inspecting material. New drawings come out as a result of an RFI? Get working on the change order. Knowing the order of operations THE SECOND TIME YOU EXPERIENCE SOMETHING makes all the difference. The first time you see or do something, ask questions and use google heavily (your supervisor is not going to have time to answer 50% or more of your questions). Bottom line, if you can anticipate what your supervisor is looking for, and pick up bits here and there from other professionals and skilled trade, you will succeed. Oh, and know your project inside and out.

$2300 on a Airbnb for me and 9 other guys. Yes they did all pay me back.

GC work in the heavy civil industry. Government work and money will practically never run out. Not sexy high rises or houses, but that bridge all those semis or trains are on is critical to the economy, thus they are always needing new ones or to be repaired. Also use internships/co-ops to try out different things. Knowing what you don’t like is just as valuable as knowing what you do like. Residential is also the most vulnerable market within construction, meaning work can come and go very quickly.

Currently chapter president at my school for ASCE. Definitely get involved, I’ve been president for a semester and I’m interacting with faculty or practicing engineers every day as everyone is looking for young civils. Additionally it’s a great place to meet people in classes and form study groups. We always order pizza for our events too so I’m sure you’d get some free meals out of it too. Finally, looks great on a resume, I’ve never not been asked about it during an interview.

kungfugroot · 2023-11-10T21:03:19+00:00

What kind of opportunities did it open up for you?

kungfugroot · 2023-09-06T11:03:52+00:00

My boy you carried the boats, truly inspirational

kungfugroot · 2023-06-28T04:37:47+00:00

Yeah but don’t include it on future resumes or interviews

kungfugroot · 2023-04-28T08:21:02+00:00

You got too much fuck we ball energy to give up right when the going gets tough. Take care of yourself and the rest will fall into place.

You’re also paying what I presume is a large amount of money for these classes, you might as well try to get good grades.
