QTS also has another few buildings going up. They're putting in another substation as well

I'm on RVA 5/6. The clearing you're talking about, is it across the street from craft parking on Portugee Rd? If so, that's actually QTS expansion. Meta hasn't really started clearing for 7/8 yet

Yeah driving around today it was insane. I just wanted to get the hell off the roads

Sixth in the nation, RVA. We can do better!

Mazzy Star: Fade into You

Only because it evokes angsty teen memories

😳

Well let me help educate you: I don't give a fuck about you or any of your professors

Just for clarity, what exactly do you mean when you say "low class people?"

Fair enough. I'll concede that. But corporations owning hundreds or thousands of single family homes all throughout a city... it just ain't right

It should be illegal for corporations to own single family homes

Don't hate the player, hate the game

When I was a child I was told a story of how Ocracoke Island got its name. Apparently during the Puritan times a lot of people were put to death for supposed witchery, and one of the methods was to hang them from a cross on the shoreline, pierce their midsection, and essentially starve them to death. When the person died, crows would come and pluck their eyeballs out. People on the cross would be suffering so badly, in such misery and agony, that they would cry out, "Oh caw, crow!" because they wanted to die and end their pain.

Now, as an adult with Internet access, I realize my dad was full of shit

It will be sent immediately to the crusher

Has Waze gotten any better about saying to turn a little sooner? I was using it a couple years ago but stopped because it would always tell me to turn so late that it made it dangerous

Yes. It's still being built. Buildings 1, 2 and 3 are operational. Buildings 5 and 6 have not been completed. The ten million man hours are in reference to the construction of the complex

At full bore we've had around 1200 trades workers

The one I'm working at has fed over 1000 families for the past few years. We recently hit 10,000,000 man hours

Honestly it's a mixed bag. CWs and apprentices skew younger, but it's not unreasonable to see an apprentice in their thirties or possibly even forties. CEs and JWs are typically older simply because those classifications mean the person has been doing this job longer. There are a lot of JWs in their fifties and sixties. The skilled trades are losing more people to retirement than we're bringing in each year

It's been rolling hard for the last five-ish years. Things are slowing down on this job and everyone is waiting to see ground break for buildings 7 and 8. When this job is fully staffed it's probably close to 500 union jobs. We are reasonably expecting a piece of the Diamond District work, which will wind up being years of steady work. Fingers crossed for the Lego job but it doesn't seem like we're getting it

Leave at 5:30. Union electrician at the Henrico data center. Thirty minute commute. Work four tens and two eights

Do what? Last month I Ubered and it was sixteen bucks for a fifteen minute drive. Did it really go up that much that quick?

You've convinced me. Going there tomorrow night

The stone that lieth not in your way need not offend you

Welcome to RVA! Scrolling through some of the previous posts will give you a ton of ideas

Thanks. Strangely enough I was parked there yesterday and didn't even notice any signage. I think I was blinded by the two taco spots nearly side by side
