It really doesn't work that way for us. The shop works per hour and they work when they are told. The office which is small works when the guys in the shop work and sometimes more. You get your job done regardless. Our world doesn't revolve around normal hours. Like I said I might work 80...

Contract pay is good. I once did a one year contract and the project got canceled in the first week. Nothing beats a one year pay check for a weeks worth of work. Sometimes I charge by the pound for what I draw. This job was around 2 million pounds for the entire precipitator. I offered to do it...

Yup, thanks.

The only people in my indsutry that get paid by the hour work in the shop. On top of that he started talking about 12 hour shifts and such. Yeah let me jump right on that. Except for shop people nobody in my industry works shifts. If the work needs done, it gets done. I'm not even sure what I...

Size compared to downtown LA.

So you want me to run a multi million dollar organization that has plants in 4 states and pay me by the hour...Right I see that neting me for a pay period. I think someone slipped him the wrong resume or something since it has been so long. I had never heard of the guy even tho I've worked...

Jealous of people that have people skills. I assume you use those in negotiations or is it more of a bottom line type of deal?

I'm a structural steel designer and project manager. I carry one in my bag when I have to go to the field. I would say maybe 1 in 10 people I show it to know what it is.

A comment I saw on an article... "Very impressive, I wonder if the engineers who did the incredible math required to make this happen can parallel park thier own car?" haha.

Imagine how fewer savages we would have to deal with if we ever got to take the gloves off and move on with whatever else.

That was a waste other than the free meal. Guy started talking about 12 hour shifts or whatever and all the over time available. I haven't gotten paid by the hour since high school 25 years ago. After that is was contract or salary. Even my 2 year old resume should have made that pretty clear...

Spatula.

Yeah kinda what I was thinking, but I sent it in while self employed so who knows. I'm on paid leave till after the first. I have a meeting with him scheduled over lunch so I got that going for me lol. I've been reading about the company in the local paper and they are really expanding in...

I got a call today from a guy who identified himself as CEO of XXX. He went on for several minutes. I didn't want to be rude but I finally told I had never heard of his company. Turns out I sent them a resume as a feeler about 2 years ago and since then they got bought out lol. Kind of an odd...

It's wildly unpopular with LSU fans, at least the big money backers in the TAF. At first it was good and got lots of exposure. But now after several years the backers have told the AD to cut down on it since we've done it now 4 years in a row or something similar.

It's very hard for top tier tems to get a team to come into their home stadium for a game, even with a huge payout. That's part of the reaon LSU has gone to playing the opener against ranked teams at a neutral site in Houston and Dallas etc.. Even a home/home gets a lot of resistance because...

Glad I didn't go to the game last night, even more glad I didn't watch it. But I knew when the playoff was announced and people were saying it would end the endless griping about the BCS that they were crazy. After reading the score and what happened this game (LSU) officially marks the...

LSU fan and their pet.

Yes. I read the post 5-6 above yours. Just got an invite to the LSU/Bama game. Way to wait till noon to call.

Big game I guess semi locally. LSU versus Alabama. Friend sent me link to a newspaper article about how small the crowds were when the Pope visited New Orleans (which south LA is hugely catholic) because the Saints were playing that weekend as well as LSU and Tulane who all had home games lol.

So black people can't go as white people or ghost now (only spookds I guess) from now on. Got it.

ESPN announced the LSU Arkansas game is on at night on ESPN2. LSU gets all night games this year. I guess the AD gets to keep his job they have been on his ass for a number of years about the noon and 2:30 games.

Did you confuse the college thread with the NFL again?

No porch? I couldn't do without it. I have a deck in the back but we sat on the porch in my rocking chairs behing old men lol. I have a wrap around porch in the front that goes around the front and both sides of the house. For whatever reason I use the deck for certain things and the porch for...

I got almost 400 email responses for sending that link of her crying to her husband/boyfriend who was an LSU fan. I forwarded it to everyone on our company email list which was right at 1100 people. I forgot we are doing an experimental coal plant in MS and had all those people on the list. They...

I like the rivalries long term over winning a national title. I don't know if it's the "been there done that" or the life long experience of going to the games, tailgaiting, traveling to the away games and listening to the folks who are 80 years old at the games talk about the game they...

Going to be damn close to having 4 out of 4 in the playoff rankings being from the SEC west.

Thank you! Been in the hospital for almost a week and that really not only made my dad, but my week as well. I just forwarded that link to everyone in my contacts for my email, including business ones. So about 1,100 people will see it Monday morning and make their Monday a little better...

I guess around here it's diferent. As mentioned before there are lots of "professional" type jobs that only require a high school diploma or less (I actually have a GED and did it for a number of years before working part time to go to college for an unrelated degree for personal but not...

Ok looked at the polls again. 4 out of the top 5 are from the SEC West. It will never happen but it's still possible for a 5 way tie in the west lol.

Guess not.

Really turning over cars for a win?

They should treat him like our mascot. Put him in a cage and roll him out on gameday and and then put him back in the cage.

The win by Alabama was it's fourth largest in SEC history. One happened in 1945 and the other two happened against Vanderbilt.

First person I thought of.

The three near here are located on the MS river along with 100+ chemical plants and refineries in about 100 river miles which are located there not only for shipping but for cooling water.
