I use a drawing/drafting desk/table. It adjust down to regular table height and up to 4' of so. The one I have at the house is pretty small. It's 32" x 42" which makes a nice work area big enough to put 2 monitors and have room behind them for more stuff. I think they are called folding but not...

Whataburger home delivery tested in Dallas - Story | KDFW Whataburger home delivery being tested.

I'm trying to get out early. I have 2 days left at this job. I don't have kids so no grand kids to worry about so that helps. I could piddle for the next 40 years and take an occasional break to go hunting or backpacking. Oil was less than $40/brl today. Kind of a mental aspect of it won't...

Can sympathize. I have lived a majority of my life in heavy thunderstorm/tornado areas and it never fails. Lights blink off for a split second and you get a dangerous weather warning. Power down computer to unplug it and it applies 43 patches that take 20 minutes before you can turn it off...

Dr. Red Duke passed away today at age 86. Iconic Houston surgeon, Dr. James Duke, passes away | abc13.com Among other stuff he's responsible in part for life flight. Pretty down to earth guy. Used to be on the news here every week with a short segment.

Our buddy is in the news again.

Yes, please do. OP has 50 post in a year. Find another spot to spot this kind of shit.

Get your pre orders in early for the soon to be hot halloween costume of the year.

I don't guess we'll see TV like this in the future, at least not on public TV. 0:40 mark

We service the power plant and petro chemical industry. This morning has been black Monday. We had whispers starting over the last few weeks about cancellations due to recent EPA changes that would affect the projects we were doing that were undertaken to meet the last set of new EPA...

If you put up with it for a certain period does it pay off in your next job and later on in your career? Or is it just about the pay?

Probably a repost. Coincidence?

I can see that for people just out of college. The stuff he mentioned weren't really questions but comments about what they did. It was really really really easy stuff to notice it was completely wrong. The QC guy said he thought he did it to see if you would correct the boss when he was...

I did pick up a new interview technique from the president of the company here. When he interviewed me we took a tour of the shop and the yard. It took about an hour and he threw in a couple of things that obviously weren't true. Stuff like "We have always used D size plots" when they were C...

We really didn't have a long conversation. He did email me a copy of his hotel and flight receipt. Last night all I said was umm no. He said it just wasn't for him apparently. Maybe too many Mexicans lol I dunno. Probably not it's like 98% white here and the shop has about 5 out of 100. No...

I am just NE of San Antonio. The first town I lived in for a short period while the company put me up had 750 people in it 10 years ago. Now it's $20k+. Growing is an understatement. Also have an AFB in town and the place is growing. Amazon here now, FedEx just built a new center right across...

What part of TX? One thing I picked up on hiring a new IT guy was even close to Austin there seems to be a pretty good market for run of the mill IT guys who support a small business in day to day stuff. No clue but possibly the hardcore IT guys and developers in Austin can't be bothered with...

He is ruined for life. I'll give him that. Downhill from there.

I've heard from many people on the "inside" that many times they advertise a job when they know who they are going to hire before they take the ad out. CYA. I had to fill out an application to have it on record when I was hired here at my current job.

That sucks. Any chance the person that sent you the notice of decline didn't know what else was going on?

They start at $300/month. They go up from there, 90% of them are catholic schools. Unlike TX where each little town has a school district there if you live in parish X you go to parish X schools. Which means if you live in East Baton Rouge parish you can be sent to any school in the parish....do...

He now says the guy listed on his birth certificate wasn't his fathere and says he's 100% (50% I guess) bi-racial.

I would really rather get the opinion of someone who knows the area. Where I'm from lots of people send their kids to private school. That includes a lot who aren't what you would really consider wealthy, but everyday middle class. When the school district shifts, you send your kids to private...

Keep up lol. Pivot table - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was asked about Excel in my current job interview. I told him upfront. Normally the only time I use it is to enter some data into an existing worksheet. That's pretty much what everyone here does. We get preformatted worksheets we enter shipping data, completion data etc..for the customer. I...

Thankfully next Friday hell or high water I'm out of this. Guy who I was supposed to come in for an interview, lunch and spend some time looking around at the town etc...called me just now. He got a flight this afternoon and flew back home. He wanted to know if he sent his receipt for his...

If we shut those down a large portion of "students" would find out they aren't destined for college and instead have to work for a living. Can't have that.

For every $100 that goes into sudent aid overall in the country tuition goes up $65 on average over all.. I don't have the link handy. Just pointing out that it's a never ending circle. Pour more money in and the tuition will go up. Tuition has skyrocketed while pouring more and more "free"...

Start smoking then you can put the cigarette in your mouth instead of standing there being akward during the pauses.

Read today that every $100 of aid that goes to students tuition goes up $65. Go figure.

I know I'm wordy but 1. I'm bored, my interview didn't show up as of yet 4 hours late. 2. I'm not cut out for this crap. I rather climb up a 200' pressure vessel when it's 100F outside in a cloud of steam and measure something that can be FIXED rather than meet, argue, meet, and argue some...

That's what I was told by the HR lady. We're running it thru our parent company which is much larger and basically deals with all the legal issues. One thing mentioned was spinning off the engineering department as a subsidary. The first place I worked "engineering" which is a loose term and...

Curious what the future is going to being after the big hiccup earlier in the month about the media and especially how they targeted ESPN in many of the articles about having lost share etc...

We have an office in Phoenix of like 6 people. I read a title on yahoo "Big heat wave in the southwest". So I looked at the weather deal. I think at 9pm local there it was 109F. Fuck that. The forecast for the next day was 115F. Fuck that. I don't care if it's a dry heat or not. I assume 115...

I only heard about it at work because we were talking about going to visit a subcontractor. Kind of dropped off the media radar pretty quick.

According to that list a county where I own "land" in East, TX that is bankrupt. Provides no fire protection and no deputies but has pine trees ranks the same as the current county I live in that is in the hill country of TX that people are lined up to move to for the beauty of it. Go figure.

Also my idea of paying 100% of their insurance was deemed "illegal and subject to fines" under the ACA or some such. Oh well.

I stay off of much of it.

Sometimes you people scare me. Serioulsly. I ask very few questions in an invterview. We go over basic stuff. Have lunch and determine their ability to fit in. Tour the shop and talk while doing so. Hopefully in that time frame they talk about stuff they have done in the past that fit with...
