(im a recently retired project manager/superintendent from a Union job site)

you have nothing to fear here if you answer... what "field" are you in? & do you get harassed still while you work from home?

the sexual harassment & way talking to people has changed over the last couple of decades made me VERY glad to get out. its so easy to offend someone now days, even if you have ZERO intention of it. Then here are the people who do intend it & claim it was an accident....

saw it all during my career & yes i did have to go to some anger management courses as the new wave of young people came in & got their undies in a bunch. pretty sure it was a comment like that one that lead me to have to go there.

 

Doesn’t take much

 

I get that occasionally. Can't explain it. Some episodes are worse than others. I did notice it coincides with barometric pressure most of the time. Usually when there's a big change. And, it may have nothing to do with it and it's just a coincidence.

 

Good Evening Y'all

 

I’m sorry you had to experience that. As a father of a daughter I’d be livid if that happened to her.

 

Been there… suffer from Meniere’s and BPPV. If it’s the later, try Epley maneuver.

 

Grand Daughter ready they will be screaming, laughing, jumping can't wait.

 

Hope you got good results!!!
I had mine on Wednesday... and have more questions now that I read the report in myChart.

That's no fun.... hope it's better now

That's my replacement.... so glad I don't have to work with her

evening all

 

Glad to hear that you are showing them some solid results and you get to prove them wrong.

As for your other post, I see it 1st hand where I'm doing the contract work right now. It's like a bad 1960's mentality in there, good 'ole boy club. The few women that are in the engineering dept literally have to work twice as hard as their male counterparts and they generally get treated like shit. Small town equals not too many opportunities for them, so it seems that they stick it out until they can find a better place to go. There's a 20-something gal in the CAD dept where I'm at, she is segregated into her own small cube area where a few other young ladies work from, just to keep her away from most of the pervs walking around this place. ( The guys are all in 4 person cubes )

Dehydration? That's my 1st symptom when I need to get caught up on hydration.

I'm no expert, but from my own personal experience those types of 'trail roads' aren't open until Memorial day, depending on how bad the winter was. The Alpine Loop never fully opened this year, Engineer and Cinnamon Pass never got cleared out enough before the snow started flying again.

You can go to the county DOT website to look at specific areas/trails and passes. San Juan and San Miguel Counties cover most of the trails in the San Juans.



I tried making chicken strips using Dewaynes recipe for crunchy chicken. Ehhh, I need more practice. The recipe was fine, it's me. I'm not much of a fried food cooker.

Prudence ( the firewood truck) gave me gift. I was trying to remove a lump of something off of the carpet, it felt like it could be a coin so I set it in some hot water/dish soap then some hydrogen peroxide and a q-tip. I wasn't expecting this!



a 1920 Buffalo nickle! It's pretty beat up, so not really worth much more then a nickle but I thought it was cool to hold a century old piece of currency.

 

I bookmarked those thank you!

 

We haven’t started booking anything yet but it has my attention Mikala is flying into Denver on the 16th of April and we are trying to figure out if we hang out in Colorado. Or go over into Utah and beat around over there either way works. We thought of staying in montrose a few days and venturing out from there. Then go do some of Utah we are still tossing out ideas and seeing what sticks.

 

sounds like you are a co ordinator at whatever place you work.

now i understand how you were harassed from home. had never even thought of text or email direct harassment.

was thinking from the on the job stand point how the women we get on site are usually treated extra good cause everyone is scared to death to say anything.

i always tried to put them with another woman as a partner or only people that i really trusted not to mess it up for everyone.

it does suck but it is the world we work in.

with that: YES there are more & more capable women on the jobsites & in the upper ranks now days.

 

are you buying a Juki? cause 5k is a real high end machine.

a good Pfaff is about 1/3rd the price.

 

Don't you need a snow blower first?
