Doing a soil volume calc and it can either be correct, or realistic.  Damnnit.

its not the same thing?

Seriously, I don't know much about soil mechanics.

If I get the 59 min rule, then I beat feet in 1hr 22min.

Otherwise 2hr 21min

Not that I'm counting

Realistic = a cost that a client can work with that is probably how they're going to actually excavate (minimal sloping, mostly grabbing substructures using an excavator)

Correct = a cost that assumes everything is as per OSHA with sloping 20-feet out for removal of a drywell.

WHAT IS THE 59-minute rule!!!!  Please explain?  It sounds weird/scheduling off?

Getting closer...

Ohh, silly me. That makes more sense. I thought it was a simple LxWxH or some other simple geometric calc.

I've seen three coworkers in my department. I think we are the only ones here. Slightly regretting wearing leggings to work.

the jist is that supervisors can grant <60min of leave that doesn't have to be declared on the time sheet. It's not really a thing, but it happens all over and so frequently that it gets treated like its legit. 

Sort of like how in Monopoly people get $500 for landing on free parking, even though its not in the rules. But everyone plays that way, so it might as well be in the rules.

Just like the pilgrims!

Oh wow, had never heard of that.

 

[RBHeadge PE]

It feels like I'm not doing anything productive today, but as I look at the scratched lines on my to-do list, I'm clearly getting shit done. spam

 

[RBHeadge PE]

59min rule or monopoly?

haha 59 min rule.

 

[RBHeadge PE]

It's a holdover(?)/tradition(?) from the military, where supervisor can't grant admin leave, but they can grant less than an hour of breaks. Hence 59 min. People would just take that break at the very end of the day.

 

[Ble_PE]

Just about time to leave!

 

[RBHeadge PE]

lucky you
