ah mr. friend in seattle..
hope all is well and santa is still real and the new year jumps over the mississippi river and hits you guys as well.
can you do me a favor? and since you are not answering, i'll ask anyway. can you tell me what the codes are for the timesheets as far as A1, A2, etc.? i need them in order to fill out the IDP stuff.
end of quarter thingy for school went well. or better than expected. celebrated by taking a trip out to vail, colorado for a few days of snowboarding. it's just how i left it. snowy. white. beautiful.
they tell me classes start in a week or so. i'm ready to be out. i'm ready for a change and to move on.
new year's plans?
thanks a lot.

Here's the infotainment on ARC's labor codes. Enjoy.
A0 - general

A5 - contract documents
A6 - bid / negotiations
A7 - bitch slappin' (a.k.a. construction administration)
A8 - post construction
A9 - extra services
Good to hear you're sick of school and distancing yourself from work playing in the snow...oh wait, maybe that's a bad thing...don't remember...too old...'you crazy kids and your new fangled snow shoes!'...rant, rant, etc...must find prune juice...
thank you,

thanks for all the help crackpot. have you started the whole IDP thing yet? its a serious ripple in the water. a bump in the road. a hard spot where i'm sitting. a headset with only one working earphone. an unsharpened pencil with no pencil sharpener. a glass with nothing in it. me working. two days before classes. still haven't done anything. starting to think bad. have watched quite a few movies. drank way too much recently. won a bunch of football games on the playstation 2. this email contains something of nothing of importance, except for maybe the first word. of which that is not even of importance.
btw, its 60 here and partly cloudy and i just went outside in shorts and short sleeves and rolled around in the grass like a hobbit. it was fun. have to remind myself next time though to put on clothes. mental note. check.
lata.

Sunny yes, but at the end of the day you are still in Ohio...this could be seen as an offensive comment on my part...or....since I've never been to Ohio (or any of its neighboring countries in Europe) my comment should not be taken seriously.
I did get my first 'snow day' ever last Tuesday when Seattle got hit with 10" of snow overnight. The city basically shutdown and demanded that i go and play in the snow...gotta give the people what they want. And since the West Seattle bridge was closed, AND my bus to downtown was canceled, AND since i don't have chains for my car tires (i think you
kids call them 'bling-bling'), AND since i didn't have power for over 24 hours...i think it was best i didn't attempt to go to work. Even took a picture...see attached.
Speaking of which, the Nati-streak has come to an end. The next intern will come from Kansas State (wherever the hell that is) since Karin is no longer pimping Ohio (and Amy is now pushing K-State). The only attractive person (besides exotic Asian male Mr. Blackburn, of course) has left ARC as well = Alix...which, if in Bellevue, would result in an office shutdown by the city due to excessive fuglyness. She felt overworked and went to another firm to design custom homes @ 30hrs/week.
My friends from Spokane are coming this weekend, got reservations for the revolving restaurant in the Space Needle...could be cool...or could give their 1.5 year old a permanent fear of heights...either way there will be French fries.
Got a Baja Fresh gift card for X-mas, which rekindled my faith in the lord...if i may quote King James...'and on the 8th day God said on to thee: let there be salsa verde (Jose 4:11).'
thank you,
