Hmm... I've never asked him specifically about power lines, but he does work with underground lines, so I'm sure he ends up having to work on them occasionally. I guess that would be a part of his duties. I personally think it would be an interesting line of work to get into, my dad seems to enjoy it well enough.

 

That's why I went to the college that I did. They were hands on, unlike the traditional colleges around where I live.

 

Hey, you're a young guy like me, you get distracted and your priorities get messed up. I think that's all young adults man. At least I'm assuming you're a young guy. As for feeling stupid, that's natural. I feel stupid all the time but after a while I just suck it up and learn my lesson, knowing that I'll do something to feel stupid about again soon enough.

 

Ehh, Underground lines aren't interesting to me because you can't see them, I like the big pylon structures with the insulators. I prefer transmission lines because they are bigger, especially the lattice towers. But some primary lines can be interesting too, and subtransmission are also interesting to me.

 

And yeah I am young, 21 years old. High School is ancient history at this point, and it's nice that I graduated. I wasn't the best at high school, but I definitely wasn't the worst.

I'm sure that getting into transmission line work isn't too hard either way. My dad got into it through trade school, and I'm pretty sure he's told me before he can work on any kind of line, whether it's primary or transmission.

 

Ha ha, High School may seem like ancient history, but I haven't been in High School for three years myself yet it feels like yesterday, and this is coming from a guy who attended college as well. Heck, it feels like I was in High School not too long ago compared to college.

 

Really, how you did in High School won't matter as far as I can tell. I slacked off hardcore and did good at college and got a good job, so from my experience it shouldn't hold you back too much.

Well it seems like you know quite a bit about them. Maybe you and me should talk more often. xD

 

I graduated in 2011. So it has been 3 years, is that when you graduated too? In 2011? Though I may ask, what classes are you taking in college? And what would you be wanting to do in your future! I think you are kind of lucky, your father is in the job area I would like to be, and my father isn't. So it would be harder for me to get in that job area then it would be for you, though you want to be in a different area then your dad, so it's not exactly lucky. xD

 

Yeah I guess, but having a High School Diploma is always a good thing no matter what. I have known others who have dropped out and are struggling to get a GED or something like that. But that is only a few.

So you press the wrong button^{[citation needed]} and now you have to retype your entire post because the forums system has not autosaved your post right...
 

I might need a little more time. Just ran out to do a few errands, still feeling a little crappy.
 
Might have to go for a morning jog or something to get it completely out of my system. Glad that someone around here was able to rid their body of the sleep bug, though.

It's called just staying awake and letting my body get out of sleep mode, it doesn't always last too long, but the duration it lasts is annoying.
 
But I'm getting more awake now.

 
I just woke up and you wot m9?

I think I'm exhibiting what linguists would call the what-wot-wut merger; I pronounce all three whats the same way, basically. It's right on par with the cot-caught merger, but notice it's not the what-wot-wut-wat merger; I pronounce wat as vawt because I see it as Dutch.
 

I take Adderall because of my Autism

Waitaminute, what?!!</obligatory odd reaction>

This is how I react when I learn that someone's autistic; I'm a bit surprised^{[citation needed]}.

It may seem that way, but my knowledge really is limited. Not my line of work, so I try not to focus too much on it. I could always ask my dad about it though if I wanted to learn more. He used to pull out diagrams of his work sites and stuff and show me what he was working on.

 

Yes, I graduated in 2011 as well. Here's the interesting thing about that... I went to a college that had accelerated courses that cut out the fat and so I actually graduated from college in 2013 and I already have a Bachelors Degree in Network Security. I'm already working in my field as well. It is a bit lucky though as my dad does have a bit of pull at work and has told my brothers and I that he could get us jobs working with him if we wanted to.

 

Oh yeah don't get me wrong I'm not discounting the high school diploma itself, I just think you don't have to work as hard in High School. The hard work needs to be done in college and on the job. High School you really do have room to play around with.

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

So, today I stepped into a bee's nest in the ground and managed to only get stung once somehow when I had at least 8 or so on me. :l

 

 

Not sure if a win or loss on my part...

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

Ah yes, my package has arrived. Now I can reconnect my second monitor.

Still. xD

 

But that's cool. At least you have the area you want to work in. But yeah. I want to do that stuff though.

 

Oh, but look what I just made:

 

(Click for large image)

 

I just vectored that. The vector of me though was made long ago, but I did the background and all that. Just thought I needed an environment for that picture of me. xD

 

What do you guys think? :3

It looks pretty good like it fell right out of the show.

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

So, two things:

 

1. I can finally use my second monitor again.

 

2. I bought some replacement fans for my computer, but ran into the same problem that everyone else did: the problem about the rubber screwholes. I actually ended up breaking one of the screwholes, but then I switched it from being an intake fan to an outtake fan. After that, I decided to drill the holes to be a bit bigger. Now it feels like my computer can move a lot more air than before. I guess I'm a lot more patient than most people. All that's left is the Minecraft test.

 

Now I have two spare fans. Well, actually three. Any thoughts?

 

Oh, but look what I just made:

I thought that that was a picket fence for a second..

[Lil'Cinnamon 1,587]

Well I actually changed it, to be more suitable:

 

Again, click for large image.

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

Well I actually changed it, to be more suitable:

Yep, I can totally see the "improvement".

[Lil'Cinnamon 1,587]

Yep, I can totally see the "improvement".

 

I changed the text and the scenario, that would fit me better.

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

I can't help but feel that the colour between my two monitors is somehow different. I think I got it as close to each other as I can get.

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Finally, some calm time in my day to actually get on here. How's everyone doin in here? And I still haven't found the BAD WOLF culprit yet. AND NO GANNY I AM NOT THE BIG BAD WOLF. XD I wish I was him he looks epic but I'm not him.

I'm still a bit annoyed about my monitors. Maybe I should just physically switch the monitors back to how I had it the last time.

 

But did you get what game I was referencing at least?

Ouch, my teeth still hurt, I got my 5 cavities filled last Friday, and my gums still hurt for some reason. Oh well, they will heal.

 

But I'm tired, I hate being tired, being tired is very mehmeh. D:

[Moon Rat 4,772]

Meanwhile, I'm freaking out because I don't know what I'll do without the BC attendees around.

And here I am, pondering a great quandary related to mod development. However, I'm on the verge of solving it. Now I just have to execute it.

 

Also, my computer's moving a lot more air now.

[Panne 1,342]

I want to buy a giant millipede and name him Erikson.

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

Who all is going to BronyCon?

 

 

That's right, not me. Yaaaaaay!

 

 

[Rainblow H. Ash 5,091]

I am going to Bronycon.

 

I haven't started packing yet. Gonna do that tomorrow I guess.

Pack one pair of underwear, a toothbrush, and a granola bar.

 

That's what I'm bringing.

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

I'm not. I h9 travelling.

 

No, I'm kidding; I love travelling, it's just that my family will explode if only one person gets to go. Worst part is that I can't drive, and given how I am with taking care of my autistic sisters (secondhand experience autism at best), I can't just leave.

 

I am going to Bronycon.

 

I haven't started packing yet. Gonna do that tomorrow I guess.

How does that sh!t go about anyway? Is it by car, plane, hovercar, or portal gun? My goodness, if we all travelled by portal gun, do you know how much we'd save on gas? But then I'd have to be careful of those lunar terrorists who shoot random portals to the moon.

 

Wait, what?

 

Never mind; I think I'll just listen to this song that's uplifting:

I am going by car because I live very close to Baltimore.

 

Though hovercar would be nice, that's a little out of my price range. Mine right now is twenty thousand for a car at best. The five hundred million price tag on a hovercar ain't chump change for me, bud.
