It's nice to see a fairly strong West Coast (particularly California) contingent this time around. Normally, I feel there aren't so many of us!

Too many computer and data scientists...not as many engineers.

What time do you fine folks think NCEES will release results? From previous experience, this can happen between 10am-12pm Pacific...

When I was working at the state (of Vermont, way back when), they decided to transition everyone to an open floorplan. We got to choose the style of our desks, and I chose a standing desk. But once they actually installed it all (which took months), i unsurprisingly turned out that an open floor plan for a floor that had 200ish people on it was not the most productive environment. You could literally hear EVERYTHING.

I would hate open concept.  I like hiding in my cube.  I heard my company is eventually moving towards it, and I'm like nooooooo.
