Never did respond. I have also deleted the conversation (including the number), and did so prior to this revelation. The only downside is the area code is nowhere near where i live...

Something awesome.
Doesn't necessarily mean she doesn't live next door. Could use the area code of her family so they don't incur long distance charges from a home phone.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGHHHHHHHH!
If any of you are ever required to use anything other than prequalified welding procedures per any of the AWS welding codes (particularly D1.1 and D1.6), run, and run screaming.
Never in my life have I seen anything so packed with errors, contradictions, and genuinely asinine requirements in my life. ASME Section III is comparably a walk in the park.

Find a utility "Rolling their own"? I've dealt with a couple of Designed-by-the-Utility-in-a-Vacuum plants. It's always.......interesting.

Ever see WPS's required in the refining industry, especially with aggressive service? This shit gets real.
Yup, especially the sour service crap, and I hate it. Most of the B31.3 crap and all those stupid NACE requirements are a pain in the ass, but still pretty easy to qualify, as they all revert back to ASME Sec. IX, e.g. 1 actual weld test coupon per procedure, regardless of position, whether it's machine vs. manual, etc. What I hate most about B31.3 is the empirical NDE requirements. It's a nightmare to track that crap in the field, especially when nobody on site knows what their doing. It's even harder when you're trying to explain it over the phone to a couple of guys at an ethylene cracker plant in Singapore who speak very poor English.

Supe, thats hilarious. I know what you mean. We're almost to the point where we need an "Idiots Guide to NACE Welding" for our sour gas lines. One of these days I am going to out together a PP presentation on how to step through the requirements.
That's why I try to stick to Power! B31.1 for life! 100% RT/PT or VT only, straight forward PWHT, no impact testing... it's the way to be!
Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the structural side of those builds. I'm going to have an interpretations submission to AWS that's roughly as long as Santa's good kid/bad kid list by the end of this year.

darn it. Just found out they are switching health care providers on us. Hopefully our dr is part of whatever new options they give us.

WTF FedEx? A package was sent to me via FedEx last week, the initial delivery date was May 7th, Saturday. Our office isn't open Saturday, so the item didn't get delivered. That's fine, I expected it would be delivered today instead. That's not the case according to their tracking info however, their rescheduled delivery date is tomorrow. :huh:

I live on a busy street, so I always have stuff delivered to the office so they don't wander off the stoop. Last year I was supposed to have some stuff delivered a week before Xmas. We closed at noon that day and went out to our company holiday lunch. They attempted delivery when we were out, and left notice. They couldn't simply redliver on Monday, I had to pick it up in person at the warehouse 3 towns away for some reason. I forget which delivery company this was, I think FedEx, but I was pissed.
My downstairs HVAC unit picked an AWESOME time of year to shit out on me. Blowing barely cool air when it's on, fan not staying on, lines to the house, valve, and line from the coil are perpetually frozen solid. Going to cost $100 for the stupid home warranty co-pay for them just to come out. I'm guessing the charge is low, but I'm wondering why the heck it doesn't at least keep blowing when the fan is in the on position rather than auto.

Now I'm pissed. I'm trying not to get excited about the Bruins and Canucks in the Stanley Cup Final, but when such a good game has a missed offsides call with 18 seconds left that leads to the only goal, that really fires me up.
F&&^&^k!!!
F&&^&^k!!!
On the local news this morning, they said that the Boston Globe published a series of still photos (I couldn't seem to find them online though) that show his skate on the blueline as the puck was crossing it. Therefore it wasn't offsides but REAL F%%^&N' CLOSE.
Thomas came out too far and it bit him in the a$$ this time. At least it's only game 1. GO B's!!!
