ICE
MODERATOR
I neglected to welcome you to the forum.....so welcome Zeke.I may have missed it somewhere in 263 pages, but what does "ICE" stand for? I heard the term tiger but I wasn't sure that was endearing.
Sorry, still trying to build posts.
In 2009 I was a member of the forum with the pseudonym Tigerloose. I left after about a year. I came back in 2011 as ICE. Neither Tigerloose or ICE have a meaning.
Tigerloose came about when I growled at a computer as I was trying to create profile for a Wells Fargo bank account. My Vietnamese girlfriend heard me and she said, "Uh Oh a tiger is loose." I was born in the year of the Tiger and Asian folks have a misplaced belief in that stuff.
Some of the old timers here remember Tigerloose and even say that there is such a thing as Tiger Code. I was at the public counter with the manager when a contractor asked what codes we enforce. The manager went through the list and then pointed at me and said, "And A****'s code" The contractor asked where he can get a copy of A****'s code. The manager said that it is not written down. The contractor asked how he will know if he violated A**** 's code. The manager said, "A**** will tell you."
I created the Average Day thread for pictures. Most of it isn't worthy of a stand alone thread and that takes too long what with a title and all. There has been a few people that have gone through the entire thread. I have heard from managers that make it required reading for new hires. Sometimes I will drop in the middle and look around and I can be amazed at the mistakes that were made.
I figured that this being a media platform people would get behind posting pictures but it never caught on. The forum is more about design and plan check issues and there are just a few inspectors. I always take pictures with well over 60,000 and have lost another 100,000 when computers die. Pictures make it easy to explain the corrections to managers and contractors.
