Construction Junction, What's Your Function?

Well, let me tell you what your function is: it's to edumucate chicks and dudes about all the career opportunities in the field.

I gotta tell ya, Yours Truly tagged along on the Construction Technology installment of Rogue's bi-annual (or so) industry tours and I accidentally learned a whole bunch. It wasn't really my intention; it just sort of happened, and you know what? It was cool. Regrettably, I only got to see one project, so keep in mind the clip below only represents one quarter of the construction sites Rogue visited this year. A big, fat wad of students from schools in Jackson and Josephine county got to tour the South Medford Interchange Project, The Rogue Valley International (ha!) Airport Expansion Project, The Riverside Lodge remodel, and the Grants Pass Public Works Building Project. If you missed this one, stay tuned. I hear that there are possibly more to come.

Your Mom Goes To College.

You know, I gotta tell you, it's Friday afternoon and I've been staring at this computer for hours. My creative juices have soured and curdled and, honestly, smell really bad. When that happens, well, you get what you get and it's reflected in the awesome title to this post. It doesn't really have anything to do with anything. Bottom line: South Medford High School came out, did a Compass test, offered their insights and advice, texted their boyfriends, and did their collective best to muddle through the math portion of the test. It was a good day, all in all. Even better than hepatitis.
