link??? would love to read more about that. what on earth are they gonna do about parking??

agree^ anything by 6 is moo. id shoot for kirkwood just south of memorial.

LOL - could be good for a laugh, depends how many strays we dodge i'll research the montrose places cheers guys

always heard about Rich's too, never been - whats the atmosphere/crowd like? we've done Drake and had a good time. Zaza is a cool place but $12.50 cocktails put a damper suggestions on food? nothing formal

haha ive always heard about PM. its 2am after right? any more info on it? i suspect its not too safe

the kind you tell stories about years later? NO!

thanks guys - keep em comin, any new restaurants? clubs? not a bad idea. where is best parking around there? komodo and fp are pretty chill, i'd love to go somewhere that has a little more action (whether thats a metal band or a dance club, or..? ) yeah, ive looked at the Houston Press site, a couple blogs, but nothing is jumping out what are the bars around there? i never go out downtown... just know the BUS

Sometimes I think I know Houston, then other times, like now, I just have no clue. Supposed to take out friends from out of town tonight... They will give no indication or preference for activities/food. none. "down for whatever" uh huh. I've been caught up in work and can't think straight. So I have no idea, and HATE driving around aimlessly.... any ideas guys? just to get my brain stirring? we're early 20's

LOL - now thats an experience

who knows. Weingarten has a big sign up on it trying to attract. agree though...blalock, bunker hill, bingle, BLAH!!

Makes sense and I agree. Thanks

Just curious, why does that appeal?

lol! yikes

hey, thats pretty cool!

This thing is really taking shape now. Big parking structure with really angular levels and now wood framing going up all around it

Yup, it would be have to be in the Houston area and there are some decent options, but it takes a ton of dedication for no sure payoff, IMO. As far as being happy with a co, it will all vary. A lot depends on the quality of people in your team and your manager. This can change drastically within organizations depending on which part of a company you go into (duh). Its a gamble - but as you interview try to feel around and focus on the most important thing - the type/quality of work. Since you are coming from Coal, research the variances in geological work as far as Onshore US vs. Deepwater GoM vs. Foreign projects. Seismic interpretation etc will be big in the newer exploration areas: Offshore Africa/Vietnam/Carribbean..the list goes on. If you are able to decipher a specific type of work within "Oil" it will help narrow your search quite a bit Best of luck

It was really only one of the majors. No one seems to get anything they do anyway. Most companies are keeping everyone they possibly can and hiring more regularily. As far as the education thing, most will help you 80-100% -IF- you do it outside of work hours. (night school, uggg) Usually with some sort of contract in place too, ie. you stay for 2 yrs after graduation. The majors often have programs for the tenured elite employees that will send them off the top schools and get a master's while still on the payroll. These are extremely difficult to get but do exist.

ugh. was expecting 2 or 3x anyone know anyone that specializes in it ?

Saw this mentioned. Basically its like the old terrazzo floor, but no concrete just epoxy? stronger and really shiny. if anyone has experience/familiarity with this, I'm just trying to gauge its cost vs. tile Its for 2 small rooms, ~600 sq ft. the main concern is a growing crack in the foundation....over time it will break the grout and tile if its laid on top. Initial thought is this terrazzo could be stronger and pretty stylish.

Dang thats deep, but you gotta admit this is pretty sweet :

Sup with these? They dont seem to serve any real purpose (?) They're all $$$ too. Just a trend?

havent heard of that one, and also noticed a brand new crane in the middle of park10 , also a project i had no awareness of

Thanks fellas. and keep us updated with your next one flipper. always fun to watch! from the sidelines especially

AGREE!! what a gimmick. and everyone just raves about it. puke.
