Minneapolis visit

Many of you may of heard that I went on a trip to Minneapolis Minnesota on a business trip and stayed a couple of days to check out the city. The business part was to attend the BEST 1 conference on building envelope science and technology. I heard some great speakers and attended some interesting sessions. There were also a lot of sessions with little or no interest and very poor presentation skills. It was worth it and I got some very interesting elements out of it.

Below are some pictures of the city of Minneapolis and my trip:

Minneapolis institute of art

I thought that the Minneapolis institute of art was a much greater value than the Walker art museum and a better show all together. The museum was packed with historic and cultural artifacts as well as transformative works over the years. The Walker Museum of Art was just modern works and all very transitional. They have a feeling of being famous and notorious as apposed to beautiful or meaningful. That was my impression anyways. I would defenitely spend a day at MIA and the Walker was worth the visit because of the sculpture garden outside.

Drawing Project

I have been killing myself to get this certain project done at work. I put in 67 hours last week and have put in many hours this week. I am inundated with drawing requests and the edits are changing from one decision to another and it is becomming all too much. I am not an AutoCAD technician. This is not what my job is supposed to be. I am supposed to get to experience many different aspects not just the drawing and design aspects. I also get to create drawings but not mark up other sets, which I think I have the ability and skill to do.

I have another interview for tomorrow that should have an offer of employment attached to it. I hope this will be my way out of the overwork situation I have gotten into.

I have attached some pictures I took of downtown seattle and the new Seattle Art Museum.

Enjoy
