[OOC] ~Bonsoir~

[Rogue Sloth]

I'm a big fan of action, so that all sounds great to me!

[Angel Vicky]

Will try to get a post up tomorrow. Been a crazy week!

[Rogue Sloth]

Okay! Good luck! I'm trying to get a good chunk of my final project done today, so hopefully I'll have time to unwind and write this weekend ^^

[Angel Vicky]

Good luck on your final project. I guess not long til the end of your qualification now?

[Rogue Sloth]

Thanks! And yep. The current semester ends in about 4 weeks, and I only have one more before I graduate in May. I can't wait to be done, haha. I'm so sick of school.

[Angel Vicky]

I only have 5 and a half more years left! Yay lol. XD

What's the final project about?

[Rogue Sloth]

Oh dang xD Are you getting a higher level degree? I think I remember you telling me you were pursuing a science. I'm just finishing with my undergrad. I could go on to get a masters, but I don't really feel like it, and it the field I picked, graduate degrees don't help much.

I'm designing a hospital! It's the biggest floor plan I've ever worked with (23,000 SF), so it took forever to get all the rooms placed. Interior design reminds me of a big jigsaw puzzle sometimes. Each room has specific requirements and square footage needs, and I have to make it all fit together while adhering to building codes. My project partner and I just finished the floor plan today though, so that's done! We just have to draw up the blueprints for the ceiling/electrical plan and make a 3D model of the building ^^; I'm just hoping we can meet all the requirements in time!

[Angel Vicky]

Oh no just an undergrad part time, so 3 years turns to 6 overall as I work full time.

Well the project sounds a lot of fun. Can you design our new college life sciences building for us too lol? XD

[Rogue Sloth]

Okay, that makes sense! Undergrad is 4 years at most universities in the US. I started in 2016 ^^ 6 years ins’t bad!

If somebody offered to pay me, I technically could! xD It would be funny if they hired a student though, haha. Is that building where you’re going to be having classes?

[Angel Vicky]

No its where I work, someone just commissioned the new building. I think its like £2-4 million cost. Designers are working on it but they'll probably make something unsafe knowing them haha. The Project Designer messed up on the new A level centre building last time. >.>

[Rogue Sloth]

Oof, that’s not good! Colleges are known for cutting corners to save money. They use a lot of cheap materials instead of high quality ones. If they’re disregarding the IBC they can get sued though! In the US we’ve got a ridiculous amount of building codes so new buildings are safe even if they scrape by at the bare minimum. We have separate codes for fire safety, earthquakes, egress, disabilities accommodations, etc. It’s all helpful, but it’s a lot to remember xD

[Angel Vicky]

I have yet to see the design but I think my manager knows a thing or two about designing buildings as he is a trained engineer. It never used to get put past the H&S team previously but now it is so we can ensure its safer and not stupidly laid out either!

[Rogue Sloth]

That’s good! I’m getting brunch this morning, but I can work on my next post when I get home!

[Angel Vicky]

Uh oh. Don't know if she could even defend herself from Caleb. Does he have his whole hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming?

[Rogue Sloth]

He would, but he didn't show up right after Vail left (he was timing his visits randomly and happened to get lucky) so Vail would be close enough by this time to hear her even if her voice is muffled. Also, Caleb is a Hygrace, so he isn't completely brutal like Spencer or other vampires. He acts more like Vail does by letting his pheromones do some of the work to make her relax and numbing her skin before he bites. Basically, he's slower.

[Angel Vicky]

Your status made me laugh so much!

[Rogue Sloth]

I'm glad xD He said he was using it to test for cancer, but he's too young to be concerned about that, so I know he just wanted to pee on the stick.

[Angel Vicky]

I don't think you can detect cancer on a pregnancy test... o.O

[Rogue Sloth]

Sometimes if men have testicular cancer, they'll see a positive pregnancy test. It's not a doctor-recommended method of finding out, but it was enough of an excuse for my dork of a husband to try it xD

[Angel Vicky]

Oh that's weird then. Might get my SO to pee on a pregnancy stick then. But if I buy one he'll be like WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT at me haha. XD

Also doggy pics please! I love dogs, I saw you had one. :3
