What kind of engineer? I've never met an engineer that had a time card to fill out? OK we have time cards but they are already filled out and we ok them on Friday morning lol.

She probably got more excercise in that short vid than 3/4 of the people on the internet do in a week.

Yeah I mix both. Thru the years I was doing drafting and design work I used my personal computer as my work computer. Doens't help I was tied to a LISP program in AutoCad that was written to run on AutoCad 12 (not 2012) and paying someone to fix it just wasn't worth it. Cheaper to just keep a...

We are very low BS, which keeps me in this part of the sector. It's about go to work, do your job, and at the end of the day (so to speak) have something on a truck out of the shop to the customer. I'm upper management here. If I want to know how much we have gotten paid on a job I walk down...

Put me in the camp of if it ain't broke don't fix it. I still haven't seen a well defined answer why someone "needs" to upgrade. What is the major improvement other than it's new. Lots of people use a computer everyday without a lot of the stuff mentioned here, social media etc... I have it...

I zip tied mine to the bottom of the regular drive cages. I'm sure one of them is upside down.

I bought a key to office 2013 pro plus. I put it on my personal computer and I'll ask around what people want/need and see if it addresses it. Our IT guy is out of town at our MS shop so when he gets back I'll basially ask him what he wants to do and the tell the boss. When interviewing...

Problem here is none of the stores really sell much of a choice. Article the other day said they account for 80% of the ice cream sales minus the store brands which apparently don't use sugar. Love blue bell. Banana pudding flavor being my favorite. That's good shit right here.

I don't make what Cad makes, but I live on about 20% of my pay. The rest goes into retirement and buying more land. I don't get people that make tons of money like millions per year and keep doing it and at age 70 want more. Fuck that. I'm doing this long enough so I can get out and get out...

The crisis is over. They started making blue bell ice cream again today.

CAD has a new friend.

Voice has a certain something to it when you are "motivating" someone who fucked up a giant part of a project. Now to people in the office I'll email. But to the field when they delay a billion dollar project for something stupid me yelling is much more effective I have found. I only yell at...

I think you should hire secreatries and put their picture up here and we vote on them. I mean C'com get with the program it's 2015. Automatic hire if we get tits of course.

There's a lot of people doens't matter what minimum wage is are never going to work their ass off. Look at minimum wage now they'll put X number of people in a house rather rather than work harder or get a skill to increase their pay. A couple making $15/hour full time make $62k a year which...

We call them designers. They do the work and the engineers stamps it. If I had a dollar for every engineer I talked to that had his stamp on something and he said "I never looked at it" and had to call the designer or draftsman/detailer to find out something.

It does seem to come with a lot of stuff that we never use, like powerpoint. From the people I've talked to so far they use outlook obviously, excel a lot, word and that's all I've found so far. Our data entry folks work on our software and then when they are done it's exported straight to...

I owned a company. Pay was all over the board. It's kind of hard to describe. For example in the shop, some fitters worked all day every day and never had an issue come back from the field, never complained etc..They were paid more than the guy who took too many smoke breaks, had to take off for...

Our engineers are dealing with lots of other engineers outside the comapny on a hourly basis, they need a secretary. She is also part document control and various other things, she doesn't just answer the phone and schedule meetings. She makes travel arrangements and makes sure documents get...

I don't make the money you will be making but here they just gave you a budget and told you to tell the secretary to make it happen. I didn't decorate much. The only visitors I get are other types like myself who are pretty much no BS, if they come here something didn't go right. I bought an...

I'm VP of engineering (I'm not an engineer) and I have a secretary and the department (we have 2-1/2 engineers) has one just for them. Go on strike or something. Most engineers I work with/against have a secretary.

You say that as if it's a bad thing.

I could live the rest of my life with tiles. I learned to read at an early age so I didn't have to communicate with pictures.

Just for Japan today.

Saw this immediatly after posting here. An Unintended Consequence of Wal-Mart Pay Raise: Unhappy Workers - Bloomberg Business

I liked my 1-1/2 hour commute. I got more stuff done on they way to work than at work some days. Just getting mentally prepared and work out problems and such.

No I haven't seen the new escalade. To be honest in my area if you drive one you look to be an aspiring rapper if you catch my drift. I'm not a real big social guy and everyone at work drives a truck except a few people, the controller drives a toyota car of some sort. I don't even notice stuff...

Just what every diabetic needs, 300 freeze pops haha. Oh we ate the shit out of ice cream, just not otter pops. They had freeze pops but it was kind of considered the ghetto treat to be honest.

I think it was 5 cents or a dime when I went, an OJ was a quarter. Lunch was .75 to .90 if I remember right. I loved lunch in middle school. It was before all the health stuff they have now. We had shrimp creole every Wed. Real honest to god shrimp creole, not pre packaged crap. I still know...

On a computer for the shop yes, it was running a very large piece of equipment. It worked so why change it. You run into some programs and custom written drivers that it's just not worth it to upgrade a computer. Just change out the power supply every so often. It's not like someone sitting at...

I don't think we really would need all that. We 300 employees in the company, but only 35 work at a computer. Most of those are billing and payroll. We have 4 people that travel (I'm one) and the only place we travel is to our other 2 offices where we really have no use for it on the road. I...

I never heard of them either, just plain ones. Guess I'm too told and/or stopped eating them too young.

Someone mentioned that they have an Escalade with a sticker price of $100k now.

Advice sought. Thru some really odd happenings I'm in a posistion to decide what we do in the IT department at work now. How that is my job nobody knows....I fired our IT guy (he kind of fired himself when he revealed to the president he looked up my pay and how much my company credit card had...

The real question is do you get to hire your secretary? They retitled all of ours. They are now assistants, either general or personal. Don't ask me.

Yeah no shit. I get offers too, some of them are equivilant to a custodian IE a janitor lol. Does it come with a free hookers and blow slush money account?

The first day of my job I showed up and knocked on the presidents door and he was in panic mode having sent reply all bitching about a customer on a large project that was intended for the VP. It went to the customer and all major contractors etc... Later that day he sent an email to my...

Let me start by saying I've never paid anyone the minimum wage and that includes the janitor, who pretty much developed into a key part of the company by being a gofer, remembering shit I or someone else said etc... I always looked at minimum wage even the low end of pay in a business that's...

Sounds painful just reading about it, congrats I guess it's gone.

I guess I'm a walking, talking miracle according to my neurologist team. I knew I had ADEM last spring and it was bad. Which is basically short term really bad MS in response to an infection or virus. in my case I had shingles. The shingles weren't really all that bad on the upper arm on one...

Yeah I went to a state university where parents from Dallas and Houston sent their kids to school to get their grades up so they could go to UT or A&M lol. I was 23 when I started, good times. I could buy alcohol haha.
