I worked today beside Pearson Airport on a commercial land development project testing soil. The workers didn't feel like working in the hot temperature so not much got accomplished. However, I was excited to be there because the project is being run by one of the most famous engineering firms in Canada, Marshall Macklin Monaghan (MMM). Among other superprojects, they were responsible for designing the Skydome and CN Tower. It's one of the civil companies I most want to work for once I graduate. I chatted with the site supervisor from MMM and asked him a couple questions about working there. What I heard was promising. I guess I made a good impression because before long, he was comfortably taking a piss in front of me. You KNOW somebody trusts you when they can comfortably take a piss in front of you.


I'm even more excited about tomorrow. I'm suppose to be testing concrete for the ongoing renovation of the Royal Ontario Museum designed by Daniel Libeskind, the architect behind the new World Trade Center. You can learn more about the project here. There's also a webcam of the construction here. If you look close enough tomorrow, maybe you'll see me! Or maybe not...
