I think that happened to me at day 35 or something. I was not happy. That's why I'm trying to wait- I don't want that to happen again!!!
Sometimes you just need to scream!!!

I've heard predictions as early as July 29, but all signs point to it being out before the end of August. In their quarterly financial conference call, there were all kinds of mentions of major product transitions in the coming quarter. The quarter ends at the end of September, so I would assume they would make any changes towards the beginning to middle of the quarter.

Ha- I'm so glad I'm not the only one that read that article. I'm still waiting on the unemployment check so the old company can sponsor the thing. Question- if they do, am I obligated to give them advertising space?

The airport wants to fill in a ditch which is located right in the middle of one of my CERCLA sites...they called the Air Guard TODAY saying the contractor was going to be out there MONDAY! :brickwall:
I found this out right after finding out one of the ladies here at work has terminal brain cancer (12 months left)...it has not been a good day.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! People just don't realize what it takes to become licensed...
I have a cousin that just passed his bar exam. My aunt and uncle put out a family-wide e-mail that he passed and how long and pressure filled it was and how long he had to wait for results. PE pass rates are lower than the bar exam where he took it. I had to wait 2 weeks longer for my results than he did. I had to study just as much. My parents could have done that for me when I got my masters and PE but they didn't. Why should they? Of course the lawyers have to toot their own horn all the time though.
Ok, end of my rant. This has been irritating me all weekend.

ooh...I'll jump on that rant with you...I mentioned to an old classmate from high school that I was studying for the PE and she said, "Oh, I bet that's hard, but not as hard as the bar exam." AND SHE'S NOT EVEN GOING TO TAKE THE BAR. Pssh.
We're proud of you!

I'm with you on that. People just don't realize! It's becaue when an engineer does the job right, attention is not brought to it!
Now when an engineer screws up, it draws all the attention in the world! Sad to know that we have a profession that is required for the World to operate, the only curse is that to be an effective engineer you have to go un-noticed by the World. It sucks sometimes.

agreed. For example if there's two people in an elevator and one toots, then everybody knows who tooted.

I always blame it on the dog.

Your engineering mistakes? I don't think that will work unless the dog can run AutoCAD...

I must feed my dog too fancy food, he doesn't toot much so I can never get away with it. The only time he toots is when its a prelude to something far worse.

My in-laws had a really old pooch when I was first getting to know them. Sweet, lovable dog. When you combine the fact that she ate cat and dog turds from around the yard with her rotting digestive system and it was a lethal combo. Her breath was just as bad.
My parents have a 20 year old miserable furball of a cat who farts worse than any dog. That, and she has had a lifelong tendency to poop in my dad's closet.
