Haven't fallen. Yet...
The key is to focus on your work and don't wonder if there are any apples laying around on the bridge and don't keep rethinking the last measurement, "did I really get all the info down that I was supposed to?" Don't let the concern that you might have missed something on that last shot distract you from the current shot and really, really try not to worry too much about the apples.

Painted plate-girders? I thought the pre-rusted plate-girders were all the rage these days.
This is over a highway, in a reasonably good part of town. It'll get another coat of green paint once the deck's on. They use the rusted steel over creeks and train tracks and stuff.

^At least it isn't crashing my browser's flash player. Some sites just lock up and I get a message saying the flash player died. FML.

Stupid robot calls were calling my cell phone daily for the last week or so about health insurance sign up. Bastards.

So much for "Do not call" list.

Didn't fall, but instead of going over the section without cable, I got it from the other side like a girl :^(

Been up going on 24 hours now. Gonna have a MRE, then go home and go to sleep

Also, after reviewing event viewer logs and a bit of research, it looks like the weird "bleep-bloop-bleep" my computer makes every few minutes is my iSCSI LUN disappearing and reappearing as my NIC turns off and on.

So first things first, replace the ethernet cord... except I somehow don't have any spares. (What kind of a geek am I? Yikes!) so I had to order one on Amazon for three whole dollars.

Also, 4AM, can't sleep.

Waking up early on a Friday morning, going to Anand forums Off Topic and seeing the wonderful security results of the current incarnations of Anand forums being worthless against bots AGAIN. Poor Anandtech, Maud Dib will not be happy with you.

In addition, they haven't been locked in a good 45 minutes and counting. The collapse of this place is real. The terrorists win.

I just finished up my mid term a little while ago and am supposed to be putting the finishing touches on my papers due this weekend. I'm trying to make myself read a little bit more before throwing in the towel for tonight but my eyes hurt and are telling me they want to watch youtube instead of reading more chapters.

Surveyor, and my particular specialty is heavy construction. I was grading bridge beams to compute deflection when it's loaded. The final data tells them what height to weld the deck pans on so the deck is at the correct elevation after the concrete's poured.

I thought the North Carolina protests were about the killing on the highway with the helicopter footage... Found out today it was about a completely different shooting in a parking lot or quieter street. That's messed up.

And I'm looking for a USB hub again. Why is this so hard...

When you come to S.C., I'd like to buy you dinner. Our bridges are the shits...

Found out that my 47 years so far has been a lie. I'm no longer a Capricorn....I'm now a Sagittarius!
