Titan Tim Tackling his Twenties

Thank you Pwn, I actually went food shopping yesterday and I even bought bigger meal prep containers.

My shopping list:

Ground Bison, Ground Beef, Cheddar Cheese, Ribeyes, Sourdough Bread, Mayo, Onions, Tomatoes, Avocado Oil, Olive Oil, Natural Peanut Butter, Sugar Free Strawberry Jelly, Avocados, Milk, Cookie Dough Quest Bars, Canned Tomatoes, Canned Black Beans, Chili Seasoning, Precooked Fajita Steak Meat, Precooked Fajita Chicken Meat, Sour Cream, Fajita Tortillas, Frozen Fajita Vegetables, Eggs

Only things I missed were pickled red onions, spinach/lettuce and horseradish sauce.

There was definitely a lot of self sabotaging which the whole ā€œeat burgers everyday for lunchā€ thing. It was too extreme and quite frankly, my burgers tasted awful, so back to fast food I went.

Same thing happened with the whole canned food thing 2-ish years ago.

Outstanding list for sure. No point in trying to fit a square peg in a round hole with the burgers every day approach. It works for some. Iā€™m that guy: I had the same exact lunch for all 4 years of high school, and not only did I not mind: I looked forward to it every day! Haha. But for most, variety is the spice, and if you can find a way to make that work while still presevering your time (which is where time management goes a long way), good on you.

This morning, I was offered a career as a project engineer with a mid-sized general contractor upon graduation this May.

I will still be (maybe) interviewing with other companies, but I am TRULY happy and relieved.

Now I can just shut up, train, and quit worrying. No more noise and doubt.

This will always be here, figuring out how to manage the new noise and doubt is the key! It seems like youā€™ve slain what has come at you so far though, so Iā€™m positive youā€™ll get through future challenges too.

Also,
CONGRATS!!!

This week is one of those weeks where everything seems to fall on this specific week.

-Way too much homework

-Have a couple bids due to this week at work.

3 Interviews:

Summer Internship @ Large Union Electrical Contractor

Project Engineer @ General Contractor (For possible leverage to negotiate a higher salary with the gc that already offered me, but ironically they pay higher)

If some bs happens and I somehow screw myself out of my current offer Iā€™ll have another one as back up. Steel sub wants to offer me too which is cool. I think negotiating would be a good learning experience.

Remote Spring Accounting/Bookkeeping Internship @ Some Construction/Real Estate Firm

I want to finish out the spring semester like a champion and never stop learning.

  • Was offered yesterday afternoon by the other general contractor I interviewed with.
    The offer isnā€™t better than the first one I got, itā€™s all good.

  • Iā€™m confident Iā€™ll be offered by the electrical sub for a summer internship. My lease ends July 28th maybe itā€™s possible to do one if not, no worries.

  • One more interview next week with a large general contractor and itā€™s like 6 hours long (talk to 4 people, site visit, lunch with project team).

My mind is already made up, gonna go with the very first offer from the mid size gc regardless.

Iā€™m thinking of reaching project manager level with a general contractor (roughly 5 years), save up money, and then get an apprenticeship with a union. Iā€™m thinking plumbingā€¦idk why.
