One of the things I can't wait to do again is eat a hot dinner. As a mom, you don't get to do that very often.

Hi!!Just stopping by.
Hi Leggo.Hi!!
working for yourself?For the first time in my career, I get to invoice the client or architect after submitting my design. I also have the authority to bill for extra hours if changes are made by the owner, architect or HVAC designer which affect our design. I must admit its very satisfying.
No. I'm just given the authority when to invoice, the amount, and when. I should clarify though: I don't actually submit the invoice. I fill out the form instructing the office admin how much, whom to bill, the amount, etc. The office admin then submits the invoice and enters the information in our system and she keeps up with the actual invoicing and when we get paid and all that. It's a small company with 10 employees, (3 PEs), so whomever stamps the drawing for that particular project is tasked with filling out the invoice forms.working for yourself?

more money?I wish I could do engineering work and not just project management work.
There is absolutely no point in my having my PE.
Not 100% true. I have never used my PE in the 15 yrs I've had mine. But it was helpful in other ways My input was taken more seriously once the PE was after my name. I was no longer that young, inexperienced female regulator anymore. The change in respect level was very clear.I wish I could do engineering work and not just project management work.

Couldn't have said this better myself. It's stupid, but some people act differently now.Not 100% true. I have never used my PE in the 15 yrs I've had mine.

Lol, in federal it doesn't seem to make that much of a difference, especially in a non-technical/engineering agency.more money?
oh yeah... i totally understand. i had a federal client who told me, "get your PE, make more money, then come over to the feds. they don't give you anything here for it"Lol, in federal it doesn't seem to make that much of a difference, especially in a non-technical/engineering agency.
@snickerd3 that does make me feel a little bit more better. I feel like I just leave bad a bad impression even with the PE, since I call people out on shit when they try to mess with my projects.
