OK my new neighbor looks like Scarlett Johannson.
And she was lounging around in her living room in a bathrobe.

HOW TO CRAP LIKE AN ENGINEER
Since my dad taught me how to wipe waaaay back in the early Reagan Administration, my formula for layers of toilet paper as a function of number of folds has been
L(n) = n + 1
where n is nonnegative.
Since I started working at Underground, I adopted a new formula. I'm not sure why a new formula was adopted in our job trailer, but it was, and here's the formula:
L(n) = 4n - 4
where n is greater than or equal to 2.
You do the math. It's pretty cool once you figure out how (e-mail me for the solution). But don't take my word for it, check it out and see for yourself.

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JAMES [last name deleted], EIT
***SPECIAL SEATTLE MARINERS EDITION!!!***
From the lovely home office in not-so-lovely Benicia, CA - We're bidding on work in Seattle, WA! Seattle is like the SF Bay Area, only they don't have an NL team. And pleasantly enough, their names are Californian in nature. There are no Homers (Dayton, OH), no Denims (Las Vegas), and especially no Mo's, TC's, RP's, or Puddin's (all north carolina).
Pretty much the only thing wrong with Washingtonians is that they drive 65mph on I-5 and they call it "pop". Californians will have none of this. And for your NorCal separatists, across the lake from Seattle in Bellevue is an I-405, which they call "the 405".
So these things aside, Washingtonia is very nice, and I hope to return there. I was calling a waste disposal site to get some dump numbers from them, my contact was named Missy Boone.
"What was your last name again?"
"Boone. Like Bret Boone."
Holy crap! I was just about to ask her, "Like Bret Boone?" And we proceeded to have a lengthy conversation about Everett and the Mariners and her 425 area code cell phone and the Mariners' new hunky shortstop Rich Aurilia. And I, like many before me, asked if she was married to Bret Boone.
But now I'm seriously rethinking my take on Seattle as a wannabe baseball town. What Bay Arean (LOL! sounds like "bay aryan") with a last name Baker or Snow or Kent or Schmidt would've said "Yeah, like Dusty/J.T./Jeff/Jason"? I think you'd be hard pressed to find one.
******* BREAKING NEWS *******
I have just learned that one of Petros's new goldfish has died. Unconfirmed sources (well, think about this here, people, who else could the source be?) are reporting that the goldfish unofficially designated "John" was found dead early this morning. Details to follow as they are made public.
******* BREAKING NEWS *******
So is Seattle a baseball town? I'm more inclined to think so. I hope to have a definite answer by the end of baseball season. Ideally because I'm living there again.
Go Giants/M's/Elvises/Devon,

Unprecedented golf/bowling dealies yesterday!!!
I bowled OK yesterday @ lunch... 129 and then a 144 (i've been guessing my average is 130, and to break 150 is a good game). But then after work, I went to the Tilden Tiers driving range to hit some balls.
Expecting cramps, soreness and general discomfort and disappointment, I was surprised at my golfing... Was expecting to spend all of the bucket trying to get the hang of my 7-iron again, but about halfway through i was making good contact and my shots were pretty much going straight. Was even getting a bit of loft on the ball too.
Figured I'd cut myself down to size and try the 5-iron. But a few balls later i was making good contact w/the 5 as well. Was hitting the 5 about 140yds, which according to NES Tournament Open Golf (the 8-bit nintendo waaay back when) is just below the maximum distance for that club.
So for all *intensive purposes*, I managed to have a better day golfing than I did bowling. And I had a decent day bowling.
$2 Tuesday tonight, I'm driving!

As there is still a chance that this blog will fall on Seattle ears, let me take this time to gently criticize my AL team and that for which it stands.
***Realize, that it is things like this which relegate our beloved Seattle Mariners to second chair in the Jimmy Symphony Orchestra (behind our beloved San Francisco Giants.)***
1) The DH. I have been of the school of thought "nine men field, nine men bat". The argument that the DH provides for more hitting may be true, but only minutely so. I forget the exact numbers, and the book which could clarify this for us is sitting smartly in my bookcase in Oakland, CA. But the total benefit of the DH turned out to be like 10 or 20 additional hits per 1000 at-bats. so maybe only like 5, 10 extra hits for an every day player. which means an extra hit every few weeks? Shit, now it seems like i totally fucked up the math on that one. This from the same guy who almost lost Underground Construction $500,000.
Anycrap, the thing about the M's and the DH... An exhibition game coming up between the M's and the San Diego Padres will be a night game at new Petco Park (stupid stupid people). The M's have asked the padres if they could play by AL rules and use a DH because Edgar Martinez hasn't had too many ABs during the spring and definitely no night ABs.
First off, you wouldn't have had this problem had Edgar been a regular fielder. Second, stupid stupid San Diego, they said yes!!! If *I* was approached by an AL team and asked "Can we use our DH in your game in an NL park because oww, our v@gin@s hurt?" I would've pointed them in the direction of Anaheim and told them to rent the place out.
The correct response, for those of you keeping track, is "No. Let Edgar play first base, *then* he can bat."
2) That stupid Seattle fan I saw at the sportsbook at the Venetian. (OK gotta hurry up since it's past 5 now) dumb choadstain. He was drunk and tryign to talk up the M's. "They're gonna dominate the AL West. You ever heard of Ichiro?" (this was said with a tone of derision as he was speaking to somebody else who probably wasn't familiar with the AL West. fortunately, I am) Yeah, Ichiro batted all of .312 last year? and his BA has steadily gone down as his division rivals have slowly figured him out. Is it any wonder that you didn't hear a single thing about ichiro last year? No, it's not because I was surrounded by giants/a's media outlets, but because he's old hat.
"The M's picked up Rich Aurilia, and he's from the Giants." And then he mumbled something favorable about Brian Sabean. I don't remember, because i was drinking in the sportsbook and had just won $30 on a horse who was racing just north of Berkeley, CA named Ms. INXS. Yeah dude, I agree that Sabean is a bad-ass, but why then would you want to trade against him? Aurilia was good but will never have the career year he had a few seasons ago. If Sabes wanted to trade him away, there was probably better reason than payroll trimming.
Yes. This is what bothers me about the Mariners right now. I'm sure that between now and when i swear off baseball numerous other things will come up. And I'll let you know.
I'm still a faithful bandwagon M's fan, don't worry. And i won't be a fairweather fan, rest assured. I have my jersey and wonderful memories of a year of living in the Pacific Northwest. (hopefully more, if i stop goofing off and work on this bid. tomorrow)

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JAMES [last name deleted], EIT
From the Home Office in lovely Benicia, CA - Right on the heels of Underground's victory in Chapel Hill, NC comes a bid for work at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in lovely Renton, WA!!!
It's estimated to be a $22 million job, and should last over a year.
So what does this mean? This means I may not only resume my Regularity at Hooters, Lynnwood (ooh, that's far away) but I may also attend Mariner games at Safeco w/my new Mariners jersey (soon to be a Rich Aurilia jersey)!
Provided, of course, that I'm placed up there for the project.
Provided, of course, that we are awarded the contract.
Provided, of course, that we have the low, responsive bid.
Provided, of course, that we have a completed estimate.
And that right there is dependent on my stopping the goofing off and working on my portion of the scope.
So, to quote the 90s classic Pulp Fiction, "Well, let's not start s***ing each other's d***s quite yet."
E-mail me if you didn't understand that.

Back from North Carolina. I batted .500 on this road trip as we lost the first bid but so far are the apparent low on the second one.
North Carolina was pretty cool, all the girls there had that southern drawl that gets me all hot and bothered. Gas was $1.65/gallon. None of their streets are labeled, so I was driving around hella *rapido* and lost some of the time... very Amazing Race-y, it was.
I ate at the Waffle House a couple of times. It's like a Denny's, Roscoe's, and IHOP all rolled into one, but fast fast fast oh yeah
Dammit, now i want some waffles
OK back to work... shit i gotta find waffles for lunch

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JAMES [last name deleted], EIT
Another update in the "Wacky Names From Around These Our United States" series...
We're bidding on work at UNC Chapel Hill, which means I get to call Southerners! So far here's who I've met:
1 - Mo
1 - T.C.
1 - R.P.
1 - Puddin' (no shit! he's getting me some concrete vaults!)
1 - Arnulfo
Arnulfo? As a California born-and-raised, it astounds me to hear new hispanic names...
As a worldly engineer-in-training, they're sending me to Anaheim on Thursday and North Carolina for the first half of next week! Damn, I'm good...
All my love,
James [last name deleted], EIT (CA: #112257)

OK, in other jimmy news:
I've picked up Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling in the fantasy draft. I have no relievers. This could be bad. Lincoln, in comparison, has three of baseball's best relievers.
Anything else for now? I'll let you know...

This is from Newsradio, when Lisa wins an award for "New York's Cutest Reporter"
I've been meaning to hunt down this quote for a friend, who insisted that she could get away with things because she was cute.
I have maintained from the get-go that she was not cute, but pretty.
*****
Lisa: All right, look, I did not ask for the stupid award.
Beth: If I were you I'd be upset too. I mean you? Cute? Come on.
Lisa: I am not entirely uncute. I... I... Why are you being nasty about this? Beth: I'm not being nasty. You're pretty. You're very pretty in fact. But cute, I don't think so.
Lisa: Well, I wasn't aware there was a difference.
Beth: Well of course there is a difference. Pretty means pretty. Cute means pretty but short and/or hyperactive--like me!
Lisa: Uh huh. What is beautiful?
Beth: Beautiful means pretty and tall.
Lisa: Gorgeous?
Beth: Pretty with great hair.
Lisa: Striking?
Beth: Pretty with a big nose.
Lisa: OK, you're making this up.
Beth: That's ridiculous, why would I make it up?
Lisa: Voluptuous?
Beth: Pretty and fat.
Lisa: Sexy?
Beth: Pretty and easy.
Lisa: Exotic?
Beth: Ugly.
*****
A few seconds later in the episode, Catherine walks by and asks which one she is. "Sexy," answers Beth. Catherine smiles, "Thank you," and walks away satisfied. Very funny show. Watch it if you can...
