we're not meeting on-site weekly, just via phone. i remember messing around with Project in a college course, but that was in the windows xp era so i bet it's changed just a bit since then.

TOO LATE we've been talking about this project for almost 2 years. and we now have the next 2 months to wrap it. plenty of time ..........

this is actually something i had considered. knowing how there are variables outside our control made it difficult to nail down specific dates for start/completion, especially knowing that step B being finished late meant steps C D and E would all be pushed back as well. i don't really have a good method for handling that, except just keeping everyone informed about the progress with weekly calls (which i've been doing for the last few weeks now). we're on a timeline, but it's got plenty of wiggle room as long as we continue to make progress.

well i'm definitely on a learning curve throughout this process. once we get the concrete done, i get to start doing work again (assisting the construction team while digging into my area of knowledge -- the bar build -- while on vacation from the day job for the first half of june). if we can keep this schedule from falling apart, that is... looks like i'll be reaching out to everyone again and confirming it asap. there's some buffer days in there for this exact purpose, so i'm not too worried just yet. as long as the city gets their meter installed and the concrete is chopped by the end of the week, we're still on track.

yep, i don't have one of those. i have my calendar with all of the schedules penciled in, but i didn't distribute copies to everyone. it seemed pretty straight-forward and everyone was on the same page, so i let it go at that. consider that my lesson for the day, i suppose.

i called that meeting last week to do exactly that, and everyone was there and on the same page at that point. city was supposed to be coming in tomorrow/wednesday because they weren't supposed to have all their materials until later today. so concrete was gonna make cuts today to prepare the slab for plumber, who was ordering his parts and was supposed to be coming in at the end of this week/start of next week. then the following week, concrete comes back in to pour the slab and footings. week after that, construction crew is supposed to show up to put up the buildings. we had a pretty solid plan for the rest of this month when we broke that meeting. i thought.

yes. i've never managed a project like this. the thought of hiring a general contractor never really entered my mind because we started out with a much smaller project and it grew just a bit over time. i'm learning as we go...learning that i'm never doing this on my own again lol.

i don't know what else it could possibly be about. i've heard that argument from people in the past and twitter is about on that level so it would make sense.

this is why i'll never work in the trade. well, one of the reasons. i hate being tied to other people's schedules. i also only have enough knowledge there to be dangerous, and i have no plans on furthering that education. now the city has backed off for the day because they have a water leak they're fighting. after i already pushed out concrete guy for a day. so now i'm trying to get him back in today to do his work. data & tv guys (same company) are supposed to be coming in later today as well, to do a site survey for the bar and the garden. we're moving to IPTV in the bar and i'm gonna try to talk them into letting me add the garden to the bar's account, even though it's technically a different property. i'm already planning to shoot wifi across the alley, and i'm hoping they'll let me do the same with tv since it's all from the same provider.

i'm not going to twitter to search out this debate. so is the other side something like "the soapy water touches my legs, therefore washed" or some stupid shit? because i can pour soapy water on literal shit, and the shit is still gonna be there when i rinse the soap off.

city just showed up, so i guess i'm getting my water meter installed today. wish they'd have let me know they were coming in early, because i had them scheduled for tomorrow/wednesday. supposed to have concrete guy coming in today to do some cutting around for plumber guy, and he won't be able to do his work with the city's machinery all over the place. ugh, come on guys. we met last week so we could avoid tripping over each other, and here we are, tripping over each other on the first fucking day of work. i like my shit to be on schedule and on time. these guys are causing me stress. but hey, at least shit's getting done, so i'm just gonna grumble to myself and keep going.

ok israel srs, i'm about to dry heave rn. huuuu. huuuuuuuuu. shit, i hate the dry heaves. huuuuuuu.

god damn guys. we lost 2.5% so far. i'ma go on over to alibaba this afternoon and buy some shit in protest.

bathwater cools down faster than a cup of coffee. i still don't get that one.

as long as you're not still sitting on that pic of my taint, we good.

you got dirt on all the unsavories on here. like some kinda idiot whisperer. honestly, i'm impressed.

it's the last couple lines that really drives this one home.

i tried showing this to the wife earlier. she typed "hello, friend." and she got back literal pron in text form. it made her blush. pretty sure she thought i was pulling a prank on her for a bit.

not that moderator. the other one. the one that looks like a cat rapist. shit, that's both of them. uh...

https://www.brewbound.com/news/boston-beer-company-and-dogfish-head-agree-to-merge-in-300-million-deal someone tag that god damned moderator to get him in here.

why ask us when you can check the internet.

what's really cool is when you have an hour lunch break, and you spend it sitting in a restaurant, where it takes 45 minutes to get your food. it would be one thing if it was dinner. but this was lunch. and it wasn't the lunch special, because they were out by time we got there at 12:05. out of the lunch special. by five minutes past noon. so we ordered fish tacos. it literally takes three minutes to fry up some fish, and maybe another 2 minutes to plate it. but that somehow took 45 minutes to progress from order to service. yep, not going back there again.

even h2g2 is too out there for an AI to dream up.

more interesting this time.

holy moses. we have a spiritual AI this time.
