HHC 2030?

Yasss!!! I'm trying to catch up on all the travel I haven't done yet.

I wouldn't read it that way.

I read it as a sign that your should go horseback riding in Iceland AND do a horseback riding safari in Africa... soon.

Once I start horseback riding/kinda getting in shape, I'm seriously going to look into another riding tour.  I mean, I feel like you get such a better feel for a place when you're traveling by horseback, galloping on the beach, tying the horses outside a pub.  It's great!

Well it looks like the "." and "i need a lawyer" thread got deleted.

I really wanted Dec 12 to stick around and update us.

she requested it be deleted - so it was deleted - I asked her to come back and let us know what the appeal results are - I wonder if we can look that up on the ncees minutes?

I really hope that they didn’t feel run off by us...

Or may be they lawyered up and were suggested to remove.

I hope she get's it all figured out. I felt bad for her at the beginning because of the scores and the ban, but then she comes onto an engineering board expecting other engineers to empathize (something we're not generally known for doing) with her and take her side? Plus, she said her degree was from a different country, so I'm just assuming she moved to the US to grow her engineering career. Possibly English wasn't her first language, and that's why she didn't understand "writing tablet" to mean a paper notebook. Having scores invalidated, being banned, being told you're at fault by a bunch of other engineers, being a woman engineer, and then possibly having moved here from another country? Rough.

Regardless, good luck to her. Was an interesting read while it lasted.

It would be the California BELSG. Their the ones that did the ban. They haven't approved and uploaded the meeting minutes for the January meeting. But from previous meetings it looks like that do all the approval of applicants and discipline stuff in a private session - which is appropriate.

We'll probably never find out how it turns out. The evidence must've been pretty damning if they handed out a multiyear ban before she filed a complaine. I doubt they lower it.

Or may be they lawyered up and were suggested to remove.

It's a bit late for that. tim@ was tagged in the second post. I saw him looking at the thread.

Regardless, good luck to her. Was an interesting read while it lasted.

It was some really good discussions. It's the sort of things that we could've edited to remove personal details and stickied to guide others in the future.

Looks like I missed interesting stuff last week.

Also, booo to working today!

 

[Road Guy]

Its amazing at what the drop in traffic is when the government gets these silly holidays off!  Make them all work from home  

 

[RBHeadge PE]

It's certainly moving in that direction.

 

[ChebyshevII PE PMP]

Gotta work today, boooooo

(I rarely take Presidents’ Day off anyway...it is a company holiday but I usually have things due)

 

[Master slacker]

I gotta work today, too.  However, I have next Monday AND Tuesday off (Lundi Gras and Mardi Gras).   :drunk1:

 

[MadamPirate PE]

I'm here through Thursday and then have Friday and the following week off. Then I get to work from home the week after. Wheee!

 

[LyceeFruit PE]

Boyfriend has today off, I do not. And we're both taking off Friday to ski. And we're both travelling for work this week >_<

 

[leggo PE]

I don't have today off. Oh well!

 

[ChebyshevII PE PMP]

I don't have today off. Oh well!

High five for lameness.

I am watching a HAZWOPER refresher module on fatigue management, and the module won't let me skip ahead until the narration has been completed.  And the module has the most monotonous human narration OH THE IRONY.
