If you work at the hoover dam

NickTheNewbie

Is your employer in nevada or arizona? This seems like it would create a myriad of tax issues.

Main Entry:
1myr·i·ad Listen to the pronunciation of 1myriad
Pronunciation:
\ˈmir-ē-əd\
Function:
noun
Etymology:
Greek myriad-, myrias, from myrioi countless, ten thousand
Date:
1555

1 : ten thousand
2 : a great number <a myriad of ideas>

usage Recent criticism of the use of myriad as a noun, both in the plural form myriads and in the phrase a myriad of, seems to reflect a mistaken belief that the word was originally and is still properly only an adjective. As the entries here show, however, the noun is in fact the older form, dating to the 16th century. The noun myriad has appeared in the works of such writers as Milton (plural myriads) and Thoreau (a myriad of), and it continues to occur frequently in reputable English. There is no reason to avoid it.

to the unenlightened mind, this might seem a confusing issue. The answer, in fact, is quite simple. THe employees who operate Hoover Dam are actually working within a jurisdiction known as nobody gives a shit.

I think I love you, so what am I so afraid of?

I'm guessing you work for the Federal Gov't. And it doesn't really matter, your residence determines your taxes.

The Hoover dam was some pretty cutting edge stuff back in the day, even though when you get right down to it they just mixed and poured concrete for a year or two straight.

If the didn't fuck around with the concrete mixture the concrete would still be setting.

Lead Project Manager who built it was a dick though.

Meh, it's like at 60%. And really Concrete never actually full sets, after 28 days it's at about 97% and people just say fuck it and just use that number.

Now days you prestress concrete when it's only 3 hours old and has like 10% of it's compressive capabilities.
