Mine is going to be at a restaurant. It's actually a Holiday Luncheon, it's gonna be 1:00 in the afternoon. No alcohol..but because of where i work it's not really appropriate anyway.Dig a ditch deep enough

it's a nonprofit health related organization. i guess it would be inappropriate but i know i the party could probably be better if we had alcohol.Dig a ditch deep enough

Don't you work in accounting? that's really funny if you do!!JOEJOEJOE wrote:many of the people at my firm are annoying, and can barely reconcile a bank account, let alone solve a murder!
No party where I work. Maybe lunch...only 4 people in my office and I am the most interesting so that tells you a lot!!
So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream

I work in the mortgage industry. We used to have a staff in our local office of about 70 people, we now have 20-something.
Our managers are paying for us to have a party in our conference room. We have to bring our own alcohol. I don't care, I'm just happy to have a job.
It'll be cheesy I'm pretty sure. I'll go and get drunk and make an ass out of myself anyway. It's a tradition.

Electrical or mechanical? In my experience, it is essential that the electrical engineers detail their designs down to the last conductor, but the mechanical installation details end up being thrown out the window by the guys doing the installation.EvilMerlin wrote:cryptic name of a company that I'm contracting myself to on a job.

I work for a company with 40,000+ employees. We just had layoffs last week but the holiday parties are still going to be held(regionally). They tend to be in convention space with a theme and a bunch of food stations. Beer and wine are on tap for adult beverages at each siteBoston 9-28-04, 5-24-06, 5-25-06, 5-17-10, 8-5-16, 8-7-16, 9-2-18, 9-4-18

There's a lot more to it on this job. We also have civil, structural, process, piping and control systems. I'm in control systems.
This job alone has over 16,000 drawings.
In the control systems alone there's over 16,000 instruments.
Engineers do the ordering. Designers make the designs based on the engineers orders. Electrical works with the power needed by all in the cable tray supported by the pipe rack layout the pipers are using and control systems inserts any controls for flow, density, moisture, pressure, level, etc.
It goes on and on and on. At the site alone we have over 2500 people.0 -

That's huge. I hope that there is a good commissioning checklist to work off of. I'm a controls/automation guy myself (although I do dabble in power a little). What kind of DCS are you using to accomodate 16000 instruments? Is this a greenfield nuclear power plant or something? I'm not sure that there are 16000 instruments at all the kraft/paper mills that I do most of my work at around here.EvilMerlin wrote:There's a lot more to it on this job.

Hahaha. When we fuck up (or better yet when requirements change), we want it corrected by you yesterday. Make it fucking happen (that's my favourite quote when I'm under pressure to get stuff delivered when I'm on-site).PJPixie wrote:No, I'm the Electrical Distributor (the middle man) but you'd think I was the fucking engineer!1/12/1879, 4/8/1156, 2/6/1977, who gives a shit, ...0 -

We get nothing for an Xmas Party...well, we have to organize our own and then pay $40 each for one...but we don't even get cab rides home or anything - and I work for the health authority...
Fortunately, I have a NIN concert the night of the staff party....be philanthropic0 -
