Four cups of coffee in the morning, then several cups of green tea in the afternoon. I used a beautiful clear mug from Asilomar Park, CA, until folks remarked that my green tea looked like urine (and it did). The switch to tea in the afternoon came after 12 cups of coffee had me vibrating like a tuning ...

Thanks, Chris. Have you tried restoring files from Backblaze? I use Carbonite and the restore download was painfully slow. ------------------------------ William McAnally Ph.D., P.E., D.CE, D.NE, F.ASCE ENGINEER Columbus MS ------------------------------

Very true, James. The busier I am, the less attention I pay to digital housekeeping. Getting organized is important, but staying organized is hard. Backups are essential, so one necessary SOP is to use good backup software. However, offsite backup is tricky. Trying to restore gigabytes from the cloud ...

Good question. Chris' reply is consistent with my experience in modeling water resources. Suggest you look at the Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center (ERDC) for career ideas. Also look at the Department of Defense elements and aerospace/chemical companies using data analysis and modeling. ...

That's a great question, Samantha. It deserves a book-length answer. On the whole, I didn't find group study to be the most effective for me. One advantage is that you learn by explaining things out loud to others. Another is that when you hit a snag, someone in the group may be able to help you get ...

Evan, you've gotten some good advice here. In the short term, you might ask the ASCE student chapter to invite a couple of practicing environmental engineers to speak at your meetings. They can provide valuable insights and contacts. Chris, Vanessa, and Benjamin offer good ideas for your consideration. ...

I found that people were much more respectful and appreciative of my teaching title than my Corps' title. Pay for teaching in the USA is far too low relative to it's importance. Teachers are respected but ...

Congratulations on thinking ahead. The simplest approach is to apply for a master's program at your undergraduate school, if they have one. There are pros and cons to continuing at the same school and we can discuss those as needed. Searching for a school that meets your interests is more work but can ...
