Hey folks, I am seeking to pivot out of my current career (skilled trade) into something else. Do you have any recomendations? Any Industry.
I started as an apprentice for a contractor. When a BIM coordinator position opened up I raised my hand. It turned out that there is almost zero supervision and minimal training. I am a BIM department of one. I see my supervisor for 10 minutes a week. My training was a revit online course that I completed in a week, that was it.
My first job turned out disasterous. I wouldn't be surprised if the company lost a significant amount of money. The next job turned out slightly less horrible and it has been slowly improving from there.
My relationship with my co-workers is zero. I have gone many work days in a row without saying a word to another person. Many of them avoid speaking to me. If person A needs something, they will call Person B to ask me. Whenever anyone comes into my office they are visibly tense and talk in an elevated, unnatural pitch. There was a potluck recently, no one told me about it. I only discovered it when I walked into the room as they were dishing out food.
I thought that I was exhibiting appropriate and pro-social behavior. I purchased pizza for the staff on my birthday. I brought several of them gifts from my vacation out of the country. I try to engage in socially appropriate small talk. "Hey Joe, did your daughter finish her degree yet?" At this point I dont even say good morning anymore.
I don't want to quit. I want to stay in this role and grow my skills. The amount I have taught myself is encouraging, and there are real growth opportunities in BIM. However, the work environment is starting to effect my mental health.
I don't know what to do anymore.
It is 2" thick. I can figure out how to cut grooves on the edges, but I don't know how I would cut a circular grove on the face of the material. My post must have 400 characters. Mods why do you enforce this unnecessary rule?…....................................................... .....

There was an object that we couldn't identify. A local told me it was near the airport.
I purchased a Higonokami from Osaka Knives in Shinsekai. The first time I used it was to slice open a mustard packet in an Izakaya (Japanese tavern/pub) I drunkenly forgot to wipe off the mustard and woke up to a nice patina on the tip.
There is a metal fish, some straw(bamboo?) Items hanging, and a metal circular item on the bottom above some ashes.
Want to drink some Biru with Americans?
Clarification: we have tickets and are looking to make friends at the show. We are not looking to purchase tickets.
Hi friends. I recently visited the male side of Radium Onsen in shinsekai. There was a pool of dark/black water. I did not get inside. I do not speak Japanese and did not bring my translation app (cell phone) inside the onsen. What is the purpose of this pool and why is it dark?
ありがとうございます
Hi friends. I want to start out by saying I am not asking for tickets. (Mods)
I am flying out tomorrow and am attending a Heavy metal concert. Metal shows can get rowdy depending on the band and I want to make sure I am not stepping on toes figuratively or literally.
Hi friends, curious outsider here. It seems that springtails are a common topic, many people using the phrase "My steak is too juicy and my lobster is too buttery." I assume this means that they want as many spring tails as possible. Thank you for your response.
You spend all weekend knitting a bug, then you throw the fake bug into the water and a fish mistakes it for a bug and then you pull the fish out of the water and go "Hah! I tricked you!" Then throw him back.
Is that about right?
The band was either grindcore or death metal with industrial/noise influence. Their logo and album art were all clearly digitally generated and black and white with high contrast. Their logo looked like thousands of outwardly radiating spikes, as if a pile of fiberglass slivers came together. The album art of one album(demo?) had two black slabs that were slowly coming together, in between pinchpoint of the two monoliths was a tiny humanoid figure, clearly trapped and probably in a great deal of suffering. The song/album titles generally combined digitalism and nihilism. I want to say that "nightmare generator' was a title somewhere, but I cant be sure.
I have often heard it is important to have a style or brand. We can all recognize a Dali or Van Gogh from a mile away. How did yours develop? Did you set out with a goal in mind, or did it happen organically from the market? I specifically want to hear your stories and the direction you ended up going.

I am a metal artist who is working on my first art endeavor making a human sized sculpture. I have a million ideas on the subject/style for my next piece, but don't know which direction to point myself.
Other than a thorough cleaning this thing is In great shape. I wonder who the hell threw it in the 'to throw away' pile. I owe them a beer.
Things damn near pristine, any ideas on age?
Hey friends. I do experimental noise music. I want to perform two functions at the same time through my only speaker. Here is my current setup. Boss ME-80>Guitar output>L output, R output to speaker. I want to plug my vocals into a pitch shifter and run that through the speaker. My Peavy speaker has two input ports. When I vocalise in my mike I have no idea if I can hear the vocals or not. Do I need a mixer? Do you have recommendations for a pitch shifter?
Hi friends, I am hitting up Osaka, Hamematsu and Tokyo. I was told you can get quality-low coat tools from Japanese manufacturers. Is there anything I should especially check out? I do metalworking, plumbing and general tasks.
