Random pic thread.

Came in to the office from a long weekend, and the boss had left me and the wife a couple of gifts

If you have AutoCAD and Revit experience, and have enough common sense to learn......(electrical design for commercial construction a HUGE plus)...then

I learned in Autocad and Revit in school, but never worked professionally in it. I currently do Misc steel in Tekla though.

Oh there's a catch....4 middle schools, a 9 story jail conversion, and a train station all due in the middle of summer. (all the while CA on 2 middle schools, a courthouse and a Wake county school)

Just nice to be appreciated before I'm bent over and molested

Sounds like our Raleigh lumberyard is shipping material to most of the projects you listed.
 
Had one of many of those "holy cow, I get paid to do this?" moments today. SC parks services called us up for an emergency call to come in and completely remove 4,000 feet ~3/4 mile of old metal fencing that bordered the Columbia Riverfront canal. Canal and locks were built by Irish immigrants back in the early to mid 1800s and converted into a park a few decades ago. The Broad river was rediverted for several miles to allow boat traffic to bypass a rocky unnavigable section that went several miles straight through downtown. The emergency call was placed because it has been the cause of multiple impailments to local wildlife. They called in the crew of guys that they knew could go in prepared and bust it out in short time and without having to shut down the entire park on peak season. Haul truck, welder/gen, cutting torch and some gungho warriors finished it in record time. It was a damn fun day!

Wtf?! In MA you can't get beer after 11? Wth, it's 2am in NC. Leave it to the Yankees. Maybe liberal, but not liberal where it counts.

Ha...my first weekend moving up to PA 10 years ago, I go to the corner gas station on a Friday evening after work...I go back to the cooler...nope, not there. I'm browsing down the cooler along the back wall...nope, not here either...well hell. I keep pacing back and forth, thinking "it's got to be here somewhere..."

Clerk calls across the store, "can I help you find something?"

I say "yeah, where's the beer?"

He said (with a straight face), "You're in the wrong state, man!"

Tell me about it... :shaking:

Yeap, our senior project manager took the entire drafting dept (all 6 of us) out to lunch today. My first thought was "how are you going to screw us tomorrow?".

A scorching 87 here but otherwise great. Water just behind us in the Broad river rapids looked inviting by the afternoon but the water temperature is still hypothermic. :eek:

I moved to Jersey fresh out of college.
First day there I roll up to the closest gas station in my 84 GMC k20 on 42s. Yes I drive it from SC to NJ, back to the story...I jump out grab the gas pump open the cap and flip the lever. When a small Vietnamese man runs out of the store.
"What the fuck you do?"
Huh? I'm getting gas spancho villa.
You go to jail and get my store close. Stop stop stop dumbass.
Man southern hospitality must be a thing I think to myself .
I hang the pump up and try to pay for my 5 r so gallons of gas I had got and he says,
no you thief you leave now or I call police.

So I go into work and start telling this weird story. Only then do I learn that gas vapor causes cancer in NJ, so instead of letting everyone pump gas 1x per week, they pay min wage people to pump gas 40 hours a week. So we sacrifice those for the good of the herd.

My wife's aunt grew up in NJ, lived there her whole life.
Moved down to NC about 10 years ago at the age of late 50 something to outside Biscoe.
First time she went to a gas station she had no idea what to do. Called her sister in law and asked her to come show her how to use the pump.
Apparently the few times she'd been out of state, even driving the Ryder truck down, she'd always gone to full-service stations.

Her transformation into Southern life has been entertaining.
 
That moment when you're looking up a place on google, and it HAPPENS to be on MLK....and the google street view HAPPENS to catch a vehicle you would likely expect to see on MLK
