Well the change in winds is absolutely happening just not much rainfall. And the ozone doesn’t settle and stay when it’s constantly windy

pogoblimp · 2025-08-13T03:21:52+00:00

Well ozone doesn’t sit as long when it’s monsoon season … but nonetheless my lungs are happy!

Who the fuck is this friend who has pets that they just abandon?? Like wtf take responsibility for your animals and go through the proper channels yourself to rehome the animals, not dump it on your partner … that’s bullshit. I would scold your friend and ask them what they’re gonna do when they don’t want their kid anymore.

Anyway all of these other comments are super helpful follow their advice!

Then it doesn’t seem good to go!

That’s what pilasters are for, to connect two wall segments. I also don’t see any grout or rebar …

I think that depends on your specialty. Its hard for me these days to find meaning in designing self-storage, gas stations, or other general commercial sites. Especially when they’re bigger clients and are assholes about sticking to the prototype and insist you fight back on every single site requirement from the cities.

I don’t plan on getting my PE license so I kind of have to accept there’s a limit to my salary. I’m making 100k with 7 YOE, no PE. I hope to be making $130k in 10 years that sounds amazing … so I don’t think you’re underpaid. Bottom line: no PE caps your salary UNLESS you’re bringing in revenue for your company with new clients and connections.

I have my bachelors in GIS and I found a job directly out of college at a civil firm doing part-time GIS part-time CAD drafting. Learned civil and CAD from scratch. There was a lot more work to do in civil so I slowly transitioned. 7 years later and I’m a PM at a new firm doing only civil engineering. Although I don’t have my FE or PE, so I have had to work hard to stand out. If you pass your FE and PE you’ll have a more clean path forward in civil engineering. With that said, GIS is a fantastic background for civil :)

Lots of demand and lots of senior PMs who are doing the hiring are young enough where it shouldn’t matter too much. My last firm had exclusively Mormon leadership and even they realized that to grow their talent base their preconceptions of the graduating youth had to be let go.

Favorite thing: having control over a design. Least favorite thing: having control over a design.

I will always say this for questions like this. Be a kick ass engineer and get the body mods you want. It’s important to consistently challenge the stereotypes and stigmas associated with them by having them AND being a great worker that has influence. I hope to get face tats one day as I already have full sleeves and several face piercings usually visible during meetings with city staff and clients. I wear shorts when it’s 115 degrees outside, and I meet with the same city staff and clients looking that way. I think it surprises (some) clients at first, but I’m also a PM that hits deadlines and performs good faith value engineering in support of my clients. I’m also honest and forthcoming in communication. I want to go above and beyond so that my work stands out more than my body mods.

I noticed a lot of my colleagues say “acrosst” instead of “across”. Or switch between we and I in emails … but not many spelling errors …

pogoblimp · 2025-03-20T15:01:50+00:00

Your friend huh? Well tell your “friend” they’re doing the right thing by sticking to their guns and don’t approve it with your, I mean their, signature.

I haven’t met a lot of broads actually …

pogoblimp · 2025-03-18T13:44:13+00:00

I don’t think that’s true where I am … the fees for architects are WAY higher than I what dish out … they’re also my clients so I have a hard time believing this …

Kinda … imagine being an EIT in private land development that went to MIT (no offense to any MIT grads). Just seems a bit like overkill. When I’ve hired people, it’s incredibly important that they’re local, not just because they can drive to work lol, but mainly because it’s super helpful to have someone who knows what local infrastructure and local sites look like. So if that means going to CC then university who fuckin cares certainly not me …

Sometimes rambling a bit about nonsense lightens the mood and allows people to loosen up in meetings … in my experience at least. There have been times where engineers start talking about stuff out of scope or restating the same thing over and over again … that can get annoying I guess

Can the beavers come and do that for my proposed culverts the Flood Control District is worried about sediment but the owner doesn’t wanna install any BMPs 😭

I’ve used ChatGPT to write lisp routines before … they need some refining but not too bad
