Well, I've seen it all now, 

100%.  Hypothetically, could you BS the first 15 years and not have anyone sign off (I think they call it self verify)? It wont count on your record, but you only need 4 verified years.  I self verified ~ 5 years because it was construction jobs that didn't have PE's or was my first year out...

I say for that distance, with those circumstances- drive. In early July we went to my in-laws, we drove 19 hours with a 7, 3.5 and 1 year old. The in-laws are older and more in the danger zone, like you we wanted to lower our risk of giving them the gift of covid, but still see them. The only...

Yes and I agree it is very good. I listen to a few hunting/fishing/conservation podcasts and those guys are very active in that world. They were on Rogan recently too.  I despise SBX, prefer 7-11 (when small shop coffee isn't available) and have found the yellow bag from Costco is pretty good...

The problem I have is my 3.5 year old son comes out in the garage to help, takes the tools I am working with and hides them. Then he tries to make up for taking my wrench by handing me his plastic 3/4 box end which has never been useful.  Every time he does it I text a picture to my dad and say...

I will bet money this is Lawrence Construction. Also, I am connected to Megan and she did not reach out to me. Frankly, I have no idea why I am connected her. Not a damn clue.  My personal favorite is when a recruiter calls you about your own job. I was estimating at the airport and none of the...

I would focus my attention on the seatbelts and rollcage...  I like how its got a rooftop tent just to make it that much more of a rollover risk. 

Or balance... I remember I felt like I could pop a wheelie in that setup easier than the R6... I think the last year they made them was 2001. That one was a 99. My dad bought 3 black 1999's that had been in accidents in 2005. I picked the Classic, very easy to work on. My brother and I each...

I don't have an SE.  If your company doesn't give any promotion, but does give more work, why would you continue to work there? I can understand if you're in an low population area with few firms. You're in NYC.  You have an accreditation that not many people have. Maximize it. But do your due...

Do  you have the ability to make your own? Or have a fab shop do it? Just go with the heaviest steel available, well for the hitch/tongue at least.  The carrier worked fine. I saw it laying next to my dads scrap pile when I visited my parents this summer. The XJ was not a fan. 

So, I just got this information submitted- it only took 2 years.  To anyone embarking on the process, its not that bad. It sucks, don't get me wrong, but I was pleasantly surprised though when I read that my work experience submissions were in my supervisors hands for final verification...

I worked for an engineering company that started a construction division. One year (after management changes in our group) we were told to act like the rest of the company and fill out our timecards per the hours we actually worked on the individual project, ie, like the engineers. Previously we...

Pivot tables, shortcuts, data analysis tools, etc. Wide range, i know, but basically I want to become more proficient at Excel. Ultimately, from there I want to become proficient with Tableau.  We also deal with a lot of PDF data that needs to be converted back to excel, but that's not really...

To those of you that get paid for over 40 hours, how often does that happen? Do your companies really try to use the over 40 hours for emergencies only?  For every job I have had I have been paid a salary. I am primarily in construction though. The construction jobs were basically work as many...

Does anyone have a MS Excel online class they can recommend? I downright suck at it and have been able to scrape buy with a meager (slow) understanding of it. I prefer something online and don't mind having to pay.  Or even if you haven't taken the class a reference to an online training entity...

In December I took a construction claims consultant position. Absolutely love it, great mix of what I wanted from a job and my resume.  That role wasn't on my radar until a former co-worker called a current co-worker for a reference while concurrently a few other people were telling me I...

When I was going to school, within the Engineering School we had a Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) major. My friends in the major described it as a non calculus based engineering degree. They took all the same types of classes- physics, thermodynamics, strength of materials, etc, just a...

ENR has an article on this today. Here's a paragraph from it: The board also called for removing exemptions in 31 states—including Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Maine, and New York—so that all future natural gas infrastructure projects require licensed professional engineer approval and...
