Yea but its part of the job requirements and so far I'm doing good and I would like to become permanent one day. I'm tired of looking for another job each year.
One other thing. I know you mention your in the architecture field which I would love to have done. Because growing up I use to design stuff with legos, knex, and whatever else. I did doodle designing buildings and what so ever. But unfortunately, I never got a foot in the door.
So I grew more around computers, taking them apart and reassemble them. I have been playing with CAD for over a decade and most of the work I have been working on is closer to the engineering side. I guess I could say I am more like a BIM engineer.
SOH-CAH-TOA dude!
I have heard that term for years, but last week I finally got a better understanding of it now.
Architects are pretty cool, but when try and push the building limits. Engineers have to figure it out if it can work. If not we will send it back to and that why engineers usually blame the architects.
I wish. I miss the simple days.SOH-CAH-TOA dude!
Coincidentally, that's what Hectic does now.

Thanks Wolf.
For the record, I use an engineer wherever possible.
And the order of blame goes: contractor, unknown condition, defective materials, contractor, then engineer.
I'm actually thinking about looking for another job. I'm not wild about where I think our new management may be heading.
You're Welcome
Contractor twice? So architects get away with stuff.
That how one of my jobs went, management became a real bitch, I told her off and quit. Maybe you and Koop can trade positions. He thinks he out the door and your thinking about a new job.
It's never our fault.You're Welcome

If you were having this conversation with one of them, they would tell you that it's never their fault.
I was busy over the Memorial Day weekend, it was more like Labor Day for me. Little by little I been fixing up my backyard. By placing stones for around my firepit, mulch, plants in pots and whatever else.
There was one area in my yard where I originally wanted to install artificial grass for years. But it was going to be pricey and plus it feels alright when you are on it. I rather avoid having grass, because I live in a desert and I didn't enjoy water it and mowing them for years. But I wanted to give my little girl something more to enjoy, so I finally broke down and bought some sod. As you can see my little girl laying down on it and she has been enjoying it this weekend.
I bought some turf fertilizer and have been watering it every day in the morning. Once it finally starts growing I will get a weed wacker to mow the lawn. I'm not investing in lawn mower since the grass area is about 10' x 10'.

I know my dog is a bit overweight and it a bitter subject in my household. I do walk her at least 1/2 hour every morning. I usually walk her at night but at night this time of the year it very hot and the cement would burn her paws.
I do control her food and treats when I am home, but my mom doesn't follow the rules when I am not at home. She always gives in and feeds her human food every now and then and especially with the treats. I had this subject with my mom as she stopped for a while but usually goes right back at it. I can't yell at my mom about this and it has been a broken record especially with my previous dog as I hate discussing this.
Welcome to the club.
My sister-in-law (who has no self-control, rational thought, or conscience) got a King Charles calavier mix, and then realized that she doesn't have the time or capability to care for it. This is the 2nd consecutive dog she's done this with - the previous one ended up for adoption.
So my mother-in-law (who has full-blown Holocaust survivor syndrome) took-in the dog, as has been caring for him, as you can see. Two years ago, he suffered partial paralysis, but eventually recovered about 50%. She makes chicken for him everyday. I have begged her to "just give him dog food" until I'm blue in the face, but to no avail.
I find it WAY easier to control what some animal eats as opposed to controlling what I eat. I make sure Athena is never too fat. I give her a ton of treats during the day but I only give her like 2 kernels at a time. And ever since she got sick last year she has been on a special food that I know she doesn't like but it's better than dealing with crystals every other month.
Is she a survivor or do you mean more like Ray Stern? Cause the one is totally justifiable and the other is annoying.
She had family that either survived, fled, or died there, but she was born in Boston. She was from the generation who was taught that "food is life".
That dog almost looks like my first dog a cocker spaniel who ended up being overweight. But I only had her a year and a half. I had to put her down not because of the overweight but other issues.
I only had my 2nd dog for nearly 2 years now and I will try and enforce my mom again to stop feeding her human food, which I admit once in a while. But I don’t in the treats department. I finally threw away some treats which I knew was causing overweight and nasty shit.
