so i started my first real, post education job today

[jabumbo]

its a real small(like 15 people) engineering company that appears to do lots of subcontracted work for projects that involve replacing roads and bridges here in western PA.


kind of slow start today, but i am only working 7 days before i take off for 3 weeks to go on some trips. and then after that i get to really start into the grind day in and day out

[YoungRemy]

sorry :(

[SB00774]

congrats I guess.


trips (y)

[jabumbo]

yeah, doing all the trips i can now because i know i'll have no chance to do them later

Hope it's a good trip.

Good luck with the job! (y)

[Frank Black]

keep talking about animal porn, see if they really like you

[DIGI]

Yeah, congrats, but I've always wondered how you could afford all these trips you've taken in the course of the past few years while constantly letting it be known that you are a poor college student. I mean, I went to college too, and I barely scraped enough money together for a pack of smokes, let alone a trip to New York for the Big East Tournament, Chicago, or even Bonnaroo.

well, most of the trips have been free. at least all the basketball and most of the football ones....

but yeah, i've been really scraping the barrel the past few months. i managed to get by because i had several semesters of decent paying internships. these next couple trips will pretty much drain me to nothing until i get my first paycheck. but man, i know how to travel cheaply!

[The Notorious LOL]

i work in a job alongside people with bachelors in MIS degrees and I have a couple piddly dick certifications and I was just recently offered another position at a company with way more opportunity for growth and I dont have $25k in student loans to worry about hahahaha

[Bob]

lol you're an engineer and you build bridges

[Kid Presentable]

I finally got 92% (final grade) in something. Nobody to tell though. (n)

[SB00774]

You told me. Indirectly of course, but still. (y)



I want free basketball and football trips :mad: shit costs a fortune just for reg games.

[jabumbo]

i don't build bridges


i design the foundations that make sure bridges don't fall into the water



i dont have any student loans either, so i feel pretty good about this whole thing. minus maybe my first paycheck, i should be able to stash half of every one into savings/loose spending money and get a good bit into 401k and such since i don't really have a lot to spend it on

[Kid Presentable]

Does anybody here know if it's feasible to work close to full-time while doing honours?

[SB00774]

since i don't really have a lot to spend it on


fine, I'll volunteer. you can spend it on me :D /sacrifice

[ericlee]

That's a sweet deal man. I'll have to buy a car and drive on your bridge.

Are they looking for test drivers for it when it's finished? I call first dibs.

well...you're involved in bridge building, that's funny enough for me

[paul jones]

what are the toilet facilities like there?

the ones at my place are pretty good

[jabumbo]

the facilities are pretty average. reasonably clean, but just enough so that they don't start to get gross.


i should calculate how much i am getting paid for my usual jaunt to the urinal like my friend did. i'll see how much i can suck out of em per day for me to sit on the crapper
