My contractor’s PM informed me that their project engineer gave notice to join another company. I called my architect to inform her of the upcoming change, but the project engineer had already called her.
Construction is a collection of organizations who combine into a temporary team. Of course we are all responsible within our own verticals, but it goes best when silos are broken with horizontal bonds between the individuals.
We were lucky that everyone on this project nurtured these relationships. I love that they were close enough to directly inform counterparts when big news broke.
Of course, I would have preferred that he stayed, but I’m happy that my guy found a better job. Hopefully we’ll cross paths again, soon enough!

These three have enticed money out of my wallet more than once.
Annie Hendrix is a multi-talented threat—a musician, an author, and a hilarious follow on Notes. I’m looking forward to her upcoming book of poetry.
Daniel makes lovely letterpress prints from his studio garage from Indiana. If you’re looking for a nice gift, check out his Etsy shop. If you want to see him in action, PBS interviewed him a few years ago.
Duane Toops is a collage artist whose pieces always delight. It’s even better to feel the layering of these pieces in your own hands.
