Safety and our economy . Extremely, brenda. I think, you know, its not too much of an exaggeration. Were fighting right now the next world war. And heres the reason. We are now an interconnected society. Terrorists have so much easier way to strike. They can recruit easier. They can hack into government sites like weve seen. They can they have knowledge about where our military bases are, how to build bombs and things like that. If the terrorists made a concentrated effort cyberwise to attack the United States the devastation, brenda, to the economy could be just like we had we saw in europe to their economies during world war ii. Horrible. It doesnt look like well have a Marshall Plan available for us. Ashley how worried are you about this for our safety and for our economy . You lived in boston. You understood what happened when a homegrown terrorist perpetrated that terrible act. Yep. Yeah brenda. I grew up 40 minutes from boston in manchester new hampshire. I have tons of friends w

MY TYPICAL WORKDAY
As the owner of an architectural firm, I have a job that encompasses many different responsibilities. I field new client inquiries to determine what work they can do in their homes. I review design drawings on multiple projects, marking them up for my employees to revise or alter. There are property surveys to review, proposals to write, client calls to return, and invoices to issue.
I speak with building department superintendents and plan examiners when there are zoning or code regulations that need clarification, or if drawings need to be changed to obtain jurisdictional approval. I meet with clients to review progress drawings and sometimes do site visits to meet with the contractors and discuss any issues that may be design conflicts, or changes that the client requested.
