The lien notice you got is nothing more than a wide net to secure the real property, or collateral. The steel provider does not necessarily know who has a financial stake in the property, so everyone gets a notice. Say if you as the engineer was not paid, you could theoretically also file a...
My brother (who is much more political than I am) and my accountant warned me about carrying large sums of cash. And it's really not off topic. I have been thinking about this kind of thing because there is the very real possibility that I will be traveling abroad for work looking at structures...
Just out of curiosity, not that I will have to deal with this any time soon,
Do other countries have civil forfeiture laws like the US? If you are stopped for even a minor infraction, the police can take your cash, especially if it is a large sum, and assume that you have a large sum of money...
First question that crossed my mind is why on earth would anyone partner with a competitor who is able to do the whole job by themselves?
I work on many proposals that require partnering with a company that may offer services that we do, but not ALL of the services. A recent example is a...
Sometimes you need complainers. They are the ones who watch the horizon for danger. They keep the cheerleaders in check. I think three works the best; the go-getter cheerleader who convinces potential clients that you can do anything, the one who loves to watch the numbers (no usually the best...

Tick's youtube link is for the South Park 'Sexual Harassment Panda' song. Even without earbuds it's not that bad.
BTW, our training on the subject was through Think Tank.
If you are offended by the things I say, imagine the stuff I hold back.
You can also describe how you have learned and how far you have come in 5 years. Maybe describe your own mistakes along the way.
Or volunteer opportunities that interest you such as learning CPR or getting CERT training.
I'm planning a presentation for November or December for myself...
I would take this as a sign that someone has reached their limit on frustrations and is feeling severely stressed. There is an underlying problem that needs to be addressed.

I am currently doing work on a county project in CA. They have a list of "preferred" consultants. We were originally brought in by their insurance carrier. We weren't on the preferred consultants list before but we are now. It required submitting proof of insurance, business license, sample...
About a third of our office, so 20 desks, are adjustable for standing with a strong preference for the integrated ones, not the type that sit on a standard fixed desk.
The whole office is open desks with just a 12-inch high partition. We have a few enclosed conference and collaboration rooms...
You might want to mention where this is. I'm in San Francisco. The fees here will likely be about twice that of average fees for the rest of the US.

PawSoxRule,
It is likely the culture where you work, and not you. Eventually I'm afraid you will only get away by getting out. Until that point, I have a couple of book recommendations for you to hone your skills dealing with and understanding difficult people.

I hate emails for the simple fact that I get way too many and tend to forget about them. For messages or quick questions, I like F2F or Skype.

I thought you were going to suggest roughing the guy up in the middle of the night. [bigsmile]

My response delivered with a heavy dose of stink eye, "Well OK, let's hope no one split the threaded rods to make threading the nut easier like the contractor did for the Hyatt Kansas City walkway. It didn't work out so well for him. Have a nice day."
But I'm old and cranky so I will give you...
