I turned in a guy for stamping plans with a license that expired ten years prior. edit: Just looked in to it again, he ignored the investigation, admitted he had been practicing unlicensed for ten years, and they let him off with a $275 fine and a letter telling him not to do it again. Colorado...

That the national gas tax hasn't gone up in decades while fuel efficiency and inflation have cheapened the gas tax per mile driven is ridiculous. More inane is that people start screaming bloody murder about socialism if it's even suggested.

Ask for clarification.

I've been asked all of those, and the only valid one is "tell me about yourself" as if you've made it to an interview, your personality and how you'll fit in to the company "culture" is generally more important than your technical qualifications. I'm surprised "how do you deal with stress" isn't...

Good point.

I was in a similar boat, took mechanical and crushed it. Take the test that covers the material you know better.

I've been. It still tastes like water.

Fresh crappy beer is still crappy beer.

Just found out that 28 other people also applied for a small promotion that would require a move to the mountains. On top of that the state's unemployment rate just ticked up a bit more. Yeah, everything's just fine.

Not at all optimistic. Not for 2012 either, since even if the economy adds 200k jobs a month (which would be relatively gangbusters) unemployment will still be over 8% in two years from now. Wages will continue to stagnate since there will be huge applicant pools for every job opening, inflation...

Gotta hit the lap pool in an hour but after that, long weekend followed by a short week followed by another long weekend, hells yes.

The closest thing I know of is "hiking the appalachian trail."

I think it's more likely that RFID tags will lead to the demise of cashiers, though in a way that's just a more efficient means of self-checkout.

If you only have two items, why aren't you using the self checkout?

They really think a piece of paper with all the necessary info to pull money out of their account is more secure than a debit or credit card?

They'll eventually catch up to where we are now. Much like the fax machine is SLOWLY dying in those areas, travel agents will too.

They're tough in different ways. In school you have tons of free time but no money to do anything, in the working world you have money but no time.

Kids taking a little time off after college is going to lead to the downfall of our civilization? That's a stretch if I've ever heard one.

Make the most of it. You'll probably be working an ungodly number of hours but Turner is a place you can learn a lot. If you're good at your job things will get better in a couple years, assuming their work doesn't dry up and you get laid off. It's best to understand ahead of time that the labor...
