This has been a surprisingly difficult day; approximately two-thirds of my workload has been correcting the mistakes of processors much more senior than myself.
I wonder how I should bill that particular skillset on my resume ....

No seriously though. I am curious what all Landscape Architecture entails.
Also, do you get to drive a skid steer?
I had to google that! No sadly not, thats left to the contractors/builders.
LA is street designs, urban drainage, flood defenses, town square designs, traffic infrastructure designs, public spaces designs, parks, schools, playgrounds, forest management, conservation of green spaces, hospital garden designs. There are many things!!
That's interesting. I've heard that referred to as civic architecture here. So it isn't strictly landscaping in the sense of just ground and plants. It may contain structures. Sounds like gazebo might fall in there then.
So when my traffic light doesn't change for 5 minutes to turn across traffic, with no one coming in the middle of the night, do I complain to you?
Oh my bad! Planting is integral in most of those! The ones I've bolded will usually contain some sort of planting scheme. So if you're designing a public space you'll look at who uses it, why, the functions, what you need, how it can be improved to help the environment, fill multiple functions (public activities, a meeting space, a cross through, a wayfinding space, aesthetically pleasing, increase culture, increase the community feeling). Planting may be in the form of simple street trees or raised landforms or flowered/green beds. Greenery makes people happy and unless a space is used specifically for functions where its not possible (like an outdoor music theater/performance space) its often used as it makes people happy.
“Landscape architecture is rooted in an understanding of how the environment works and what makes each place unique. It is a blend of science and art, vision and thought.” <---- Apparently.
Have you ever watched the TED talks on architecture? Many of them focus on landscape architecture, and I think they are some of the best ones. Use of public space is fascinating.
and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them
but they're listening to every word I say

I haven't no, but I'll certainly look for some! I think it is too, I love it! "Architecture" is such a broad subject, there are so many aspects!

driving in a blizzard is fine, I've lived here 25 years. driving behind people who look like they have never seen snow in their lives makes me want to scream. no don't use a 3 way intersection to turn around what the fuck are you doing?

I'm the same way with rain in Texas, people act like it's the Second Flood of Noah or some shit.
I could tell something was up because they were driving incredibly slow, then the take a left turn at the intersection so okay good that's the last I'll see of them. then I move up and notice all the traffic is slowing down so I look over and there the are in the wrong fucking lane trying to come back down the road they just turned off of. I hope that is illegal because god damn is it stupid
So one of our glorious new hires in the leadership program was fired.
Asked a co-worker out on a date. She told him she was already married (for ten years...). He replies that her husband will never know just tell him you are working late. She shuts him down.
Well... he continues to ask her out on an almost daily basis. Nothing is done to him because he is in the leadership program and it would look bad on the program if they fired someone in it. Finally they fired him after he grabbed her butt and chest while telling her she really would enjoy a date with him.
I'm so fed up with how the leadership kids here are treated (outsized salaries, no rules apply to them attitude). I've seen them come in hopped up on pills, drunk, ignore their supervisors instructions. They always get away with it because they are 'leadership kids' and the people running the program have enough stroke to protect them.
WTF people.
Seriously though, try to go to HR (provided they aren't in said exec's pocket) with documentation. Nothing gets shit locked down faster than that at my company.

The summer before I left Dallas for college we had a brief thunderstorm (maybe 20-30 minutes) that knocked out power for about 40 minutes. Between when the power went out (about 1:00 in the afternoon) and 4:00 PM, there were 4 3-car accidents at the intersection where I live. The stoplight was working for all but the first. The police still had their cars at the intersection with the lights on for the last 2.

Yeah I'm unsure if she did that.
I know when I had one of the weasels that worked for me and would ignore instructions and just leave for half days because he felt like it I documented and went to HR and they said since he was in the program they were extremely reluctant to discipline him. Thankfully he pissed off one of the other higher ups and she removed him in a layoff after he had been here a year of so.

Careful Liiya, you get finished with it and then he's going to start pointing at fine print in the contract.
It's traditional to entomb those who design labyrinths within them, after all.

Hi

but they're listening to every word I say
what's your poison?
Cognac/rum are my favs.
Vodka functions if mixed with others.
Wine I'm not big on, but Ice wine is heaven.
Cider is great, beer is not.
Gin is only useful for disinfecting wounds.
These spurious lies about gin and beer will not stand.
but they're listening to every word I say
"So no one else but you and I knows the labyrinth's secrets?"
"Nope, just us!"
"Excellent."
*push*
This glass in my hand is dangerously full of single malt ... and I am raising it to you.
Well if they wanted to be more appreciated they shouldn't be so awful!
I haven't no, but I'll certainly look for some! I think it is too, I love it! "Architecture" is such a broad subject, there are so many aspects!

I have here
a case of 24 bottles of Angry Orchard's Crisp Apple cider
That sounds like a brand of vodka, but google says its a podcast about design - sounds like I'll enjoy it, thanks!
omw
I'm the same way with rain in Texas, people act like it's the Second Flood of Noah or some shit.
Edit: Or did they try to use the intersection like it was a cul-de-sac and turn around in the middle of it? Either way, that's impressively stupid.
WTF people.
