Yeah...saw some of the bad news.  How are @Dleg and @Sapper PE?  I remember Road Guy and Snickerd3.  Trying to remember everyone else.  

How has everyone been over the last 5 years? 

Do you work for the utility, or an A/E? While the PE is nice, really not used much in nuclear power. My current (until next Friday) firm only gives a spot bonus for that accomplishment. Are you wanting to stick to nuclear power? Are you willing to relocate?

Acceptable payment is now wire transfer, money order, or check. While I understand what they're doing, they had better come up with a way to electronically draft bank accounts. They need a convenience, and mailing a check or paying for a money order or wire transfer won't cut it. I take that...
