I'll make it a goal to come annoy you once I get of college in a few years.

Ckofer and I are destined to hate each other. :wink::lol:


I'll come visit you at college. And I won't buy you beer. I'll just be the old guy who insists on listening to classic rock stations and won't go away. What kind of freaking know-it-all engineer are you destined to become?

Hah! Those of my favorate type of old farts. Really, how can anyone listen to the same exact music for 30 years and still love it. I can understand still loving classic rock and listening to whole albums, but not listening to the same crappy singles over and over again. BTW, the Freebird solo sucks...:razz:

Civil, so I'll be able to come and piss you off. And Marc is my mentor on how to become an asshole engineer who thinks he is better than everyone else. Actually Marc doesn't think he is better than everyone else, he knows it.

So why aren't you skiing today? I should be at Mad River right now but the freakin' weathermen said it was going to rain today. Wrong.

I'll get all excited when Born To Be Wild comes on.

Civil engineering. Sweet. You can piss off clients, planning authorities and contractors all in the same day if you go into private practice. After 4 years of it, you will be an expert. By the time you're thirty, you'll have your name on some major screwups and now will find a way to trust other people but shouldn't. By the time you're 40, you'll have figured out how to not really engineer anything but take credit for everybody else's work. Your favorite line will be: Can you send me that as an Autocad file so I can put it on the prints?

UMass Lowell?

You know if they're using Autocad then they're not a real engineer. Damn Civ-Es.

Actually, Autocad is one of my pet peeves. Anything but that garbage (preferably ProE.)

How many engineers are on this board! I cannot seem to get away from you guys!

I have to deal with your types all day at work, and now here too, WTF:???: One other thing, why can't you civil engineer types use feet AND inches. Is it that much more work to write 80'-3" instead of 80.25'.

BTW AutoCAD does suck! used it for 10 years and will never go back. I am now a 100% Revit convert.

As mentioned in another thread. Unwanted phone calls, emails, junk mail, fax, text you name. I think the practice should be 100% outlawed.

I'm on the do not call list and just received a call from some automated miracle product soliciter
