Sometimes you just need to scream!!!

I'll be sure to pass a derogatory comment today, as I am in a pisser of a mood anyway.

I know for a lot of people to get a sizeable raise after getting your PE it involves making a move.. never hurts to look around.....

I still remember my first job out of college working at a small firm the owner would fly down in his personal plane (6 seater something or other) and bitch about us buying paper for the plotter ??

The reality of your statement is growing more and more to be true within me. I am really tired of working my "9-5 job", and then working as a laborer on weekends for cash

I got a 10% raise with the PE. Stayed there another couple of years. Received another 30% raise by leaving...

 

[blybrook PE]

I think I got a 5% after getting my Civil license, 1% after the Structural and another 5% when I took a different position with a new company. Thats just in base pay, the benefits with the new company are 25% better than the first.

Basically the same here. But I had to go and justify the extra 10% for my PE among other responsibilities I was undertaking.

The next 30-40% came with 2 additional career moves. I feel I'm in a very good upper level position now. For once I'm also in the upper echelon of the pay scale for my level of experience and qualifications.

Ordered 3 boxes of 50 pair (150 pair total) replacement pods for my hearing protection headband (model QB2) thru Amazon. Extremely small box arrives containing a grand total of 18 pair. Missing 132 pair and seller states it is a bad listing as they are sold 6 pairs per lot, not 50! Listing has been up since 2012 & it is a bad listing?

I call BS on that. Time to get Amazon involved.

Edit - NOT how I planned to spend my Friday (tmrw). Being on the phone with Amazon trying to get this mess sorted out.

Amazon's great at making sure you either get what you ordered or get a refund. But they're not so good at sending you the right thing in the first place.

 

[blybrook PE]

Amazon is issuing a full refund and putting a note on the sellers account as it has apparently happened several times before.

Now to figure out who's paying for return shipping...

Looks like our refrigerator has crapped out on us. It's only 7.5 years old, so I'm hoping it's an easy fix. Luckily we have a large freezer that we put our freezer stuff in and mrs. ble took the bulk of our perishables over to my brother's house to put in their garage fridge. Not the way I wanted to start the weekend.

you have pets, right? The hair may have clogged up the cooling/fan parts

 

[Ble_PE]

^Yea, I'm going to pull it out tonight and take a look at it. Hopefully it's not the compressor or a coolant leak.

Ordered a grill which arrived today. Opened the box and found out it was damaged. So much for grilling this weekend. The rest of my stuff won't arrive until Monday.

Local grocery store might have one of those portable aluminum throw-away grills for you to use temporarily. :dunno:

Return it, go to Walmart, call it a day?

Really NCEES? You "lost" my employment verification form for my record? Awesome...

:brickwall:

 

[YMZ PE]

Are you applying for comity in another state?

Are you applying for comity in another state?

Yes. Figured I would do my 7-10 day follow up and received the "What form?" response. <SMH>
