PM sent. Thanks! One good thing about it is, if there is a shortage of folks like us in this field, then our own stock should go up, right? It should make us worth more $$!

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. I'm looking to hire field technicians for construction materials testing and special inspections (CMT/SI)- concrete, soils, masonry, steel, etc. No degree needed, but need to find folks with ACI and ICC certs. I've had ads posted for over a...

Navy 94-98, USS Teddy Roosevelt, worked for the Air Boss in Primary Flight Control. Deployed to the Med/Persian Gulf twice and travelled everywhere. Had a great experience, but got out and went back to school on the GI Bill. Most of my buddies never used it, and I just never understood that...

Definitely tough to study with kids. I've got 50/50 custody of my 9 & 10YO with soccer, scouts and a life... I think I nailed it though. I'm guessing the week of May 19, too.

THAT SUCKS... I took civil/construction, and it looks like I'll need another pencil. :brickwall:

Thank God! I was losing my faith in humanity, lol. :brickwall: Nice one, man.

I'm waiting just like the rest and anxious too, but the whining is getting silly. They are not late. They updated everyone last week and said it would be sometime this week. I just don't get what all the crying is about. Checking the BBB rating, really? Please. That's just silly. "Why does it...

I really don't understand the NCEES bashing. 8 to 10 weeks, people. It's not been 9 weeks yet. If it had been 11, then maybe get anxious. So far they are not late, and are doing exactly as they said they would do.

Jerry Richardson is proving himself to be one of those owners who won't spend the $$ for a good team. The Panthers will end up as another Lions team- at the bottom of the barrel every year until JR sells the team. He gutted the roster after last year. He sure won't pay what Cowher would require...

I had a few days to burn off- We can carry over 40 hours of vacation time to the next year, the rest is use it or lose it. Same deal as above though- we got Friday and Monday off for Christmas, then get Friday off for New Years, so I only took 3 days vacation to get the whole time off. 3 days...

Nice toys in here. I'd like to see this one. I've got a built 72 Bug based on the original Type I. It's a 2276cc with about 200hp. I'm on my 2nd version of this motor and 2nd "built" trans with this setup, and I still have issues. It's a lot of fun though. I'd be worried about adding weight to...

I always refer to our geotech guys as the dirt gurus.

My wife works P/T from home as an accountant and does pretty well for a P/T gig. Our kids are 5 & 7. We've trimmed our expenses back- 3 cars are paid for, plus I've got a company ride with a gas card that I drive 95% of everywhere I go. She has no student loans. I graduated with only $5k of...

She's just busy downloading and posting results right now.

Just wrong.

Just check the license lookup section for your name.

We need engineergirl. Where are you?

There are 2 guys in my office that passed the April 2010 exam, and both said they studied 10 hours or less. One guy took the Construction exam, and had been a PM for a GC since school, until coming to work here (a geotech/materials testing firm) a year ago. The other guy got his Mech Eng degree...

Another failure here. I guess I'll take another swing at it in April. Maybe geotech instead of construction. I had the review class at NCSU. I took the time to punch in all the class participants names- only 25 out of 50 passed. Pretty poor showing. Congrats to those that made it.

I wonder if they issue the numbers alphabetically. My last name starts with Ab. 36159 could be my number. lol.
