    Personal Boycotts

    I have a long list of companies and entities. Some examples are Home Depot, most movies shown in the theater (that's how Hollywood makes most of their $), Hallmark Cards, All U.S. manufactured cars except for Ford (unions and bailouts), all banks (I use credit unions), some insurance companies...

    Working your contacts for employment... RIGHT

    I was "poached" from my other job by a former co-worker. I suppose my case is slightly different from OP since I was for the most part happily employed at the time. Either way it was a very good move for me and I know I wouldn't have known about the opportunity and wouldn't have received as...

    Now what?

    A PE from CT would probably be better suited to answer your questions, but I'll give it a try: Can you use the title PE on business cards or resumes BEFORE you are officially licensed by a state board? I think most here would recommend waiting until your name actually appears on the roster or...

    Anderson Cooper is Gay.

    Gay pride and the type of in-your-face behavior that comes with it is all about supporting the Democratic Party with money and votes. The Dems have a long history of creating a victimhood and an "us vs them" mentality. They point to past injustices and tell everyone that nothing has changed...

    How did you study with young kids at home?

    See if your employer will be flexible with you. See if you can spend a small amount of time each week during work hours to study. Maybe you can adjust your work hours to allow you to schedule study time when you would normally be working and make up the hours at the beginning/end of other...

    PE after the name

    I vote for not using any form of -IT after your name. You can be proud and display your certificate or even put on your resume that you are an EIT or LSIT, but putting it on a business card or signature is too much IMO. I never did. I know someone who puts "BSEE" (BS degree in electrical...

    Ron Paul for Fed Chairman 2014!

    Oops, I guess I should have put this in the politics forum. Oh well.

    Ron Paul for Fed Chairman 2014!

    Wouldn't this be the best thing ever? I know Fed Chairman is not an elected position, but Romney could appoint him. I'm not sure how the Senate would react, but can you imagine what would happen? Does anyone else hate the Federal Reserve as much as I do and would you love to see this happen?

    Be Careful When Traveling For Interview...

    Meh, I make a pretty good living here in the U.S. Austrailia might be cool in some ways, but as I think about my legally-owned AR-15s, AK-47s, sound suppressors, semi-auto handguns, my concealed handgun licenses, etc I don't really get the urge to move there, considering they are all banned...

    Where to get errata corrections for Protective Relaying Principles and Applications 3rd e (Blackburn)

    It seems that the Protective Relaying Principles and Applications Third Edition has some errors, one of which I was able to confirm in my copy. Someone on Amazon says there is an errata available. Does anyone know how to get it or errata sheets in general?

    VFD papers

    Like mauldinite, I didn't spend much time looking at the NEMA VFD guide before the exam, but I sure am glad I printed it and took it with me. By the way, for whatever reason it wouldn't print correctly for me until I selected the "print as image" option.

    How much would you charge to review and stamp drawings?

    If it's a big company I would recommend using the "ethical/legal violation" argument rather than the compensation argument. Fortunately I work in an exempt industry (according to my state laws/board rules) and so I would rarely have to deal with this kind of dilemma. But just in case I...
