I thought this would be a great place to expand my job search and maybe gain a contact. I believe in going to the top when possible and hopefully there are many important and influential forum members here that might see this post.

I am seeking a new position as Party Chief with an engineering/ land surveying company in the Houston area.

I have been in the land surveying business in the Houston area for the past eleven years and as a full time Party Chief for the last five years. I served one year as an assistant project manager where I learned how to produce field materials and manage field crews.

I am also interested in branching out into other areas of the surveying industry such as sales or field support.

I can't claim to be the best or an expert but I will try to be a valued employee to your company. I come to work every day and do my job as best I can. I am easy to get along with and enjoy working with other good people.

I have a resume and good references available for anyone interested in contacting me.

Thank You

It is for sure a Texas Roadhouse restaraunt. I did some surveying there when they were just getting going. That is a great place to go and the food is good and not too expensive. It will be so packed at first though may have to give it a while before I go.

Preface: This is not meant as a political statement but a simple engineering question.

If you could magically snap your fingers and instantly get all of the vehicles currently being driven in the Houston area by "undocumented workers" off the roads how much would traffic improve? These people are not supposed to be here to begin with and it's like they are helping to clog up the roads. I believe this is a valid question. This group of motorists seems to be a large contributor to bad traffic. I ask this based on my observations on a daily basis of the vast majority, if not all, slow downs, stalled cars, towed cars, 20 guys in the back of a weighed down truck struggling to get up an overpass, broken down wrecks on the shoulder causing rubber necking, and people driving 20 miles an hour for fear of getting pulled over being driven by what is a very safe guess to be illegal aliens. I think its intellectually dishonest to deny that this is an issue. But how can it be dealt with? It won't and it will only get greater as our population is regularly said to be growing by what two million people in the next twenty years? You can't seriously believe most of those people aren't going to be illegal immigrants.

I am not a racist trying to stir things up. Please don't make this a political issue I'm not going to respond I am simply interested in the science of traffic and was wondering how things work. I never hear anything about this topic because it's probably not PC.

I am still having a hard time believing that EQA is a real project and that it will actually be built. I don't want to be pessimistic I really want it to be built! So many times there have been big announcements about projects but then fell through. This one is REALLY REALLY huge which makes me apprehensive until I see the groundbreaking. Maybe my company will get to work on it! Over the years I have seen several parks planned but never built such as a water park on the site of the now Wal Mart SC at Katy Mills Mall and another on I10 between Fry and Mason near where the former Indigo Earth was planned. I can't imagine what 600 million dollars will buy in the way of a new theme park. That is Disney style money. That is incredible. I am all for it. Everyone says the Houston area needs a nice new theme park built outside of the city. I cringe every time I drive by the old AstroWorld site and see a big overgrown lot. I can't see how that is making much money, but I digress. The New Caney area up there is a good location that I never considered. If you have been to the Ren. Fest near Plantersville then that might give you an idea of the big pine trees and pretty forests that can be incorporated into the design of a theme park. If this place is built, hopefully the people that have the means to do a project like that will also have the sense to not clear cut but design the park in the woods as much as possible. Summer visitors would rather be in the nice shady relatively cooler woods than in an open sweltering area.

I am hoping for the best and wanting it to be built. It could really bring a fantastic change to our area if done well.

A few old stickers from back in the day when Houston radio was some of the biggest and BEST in the country!

I live almost across the road from the new Wal Mart SC going up at the intersection of Fry and W Little York. Can anyone give me a good educated guess or opinion on what I can expect as far as my home's resell value being influenced by the big blue box? Can I expect it to decrease or increase or not change? I haven't been able to get a good idea as of yet. I have discovered that my neighborhood has not increased in value and that I would be lucky to come close to breaking even if I sold, and my house is only three years old. Granted my neighborhood is made up of low end starter homes but it's a nice little neighborhood for those of us who don't make huge money.

(This being my first post I just want to say I have installed and will use the spell check tool because bad spelling on the internet drives me nuts!)
