shah269 0 #26 March 9, 2012 I'm a Mech E. I have a few patents here in the US A few awards And a Six Sigma Black Belt I make fun of engineers because well..... 1) It's easy! 2) It's a comping mechanism, I hate where i am w/r to my condo so i take it out on engineers.....which i think effectively makes me a bully? But you know a cool one! The first photo on the top left with the dorks playing video games...WTF is that laying on the couch? Is that a girl? A guy? Or an engineering chick? AKA Pat! (Im an trolling, stirring up shit, you have been forewarned, I know full well where your buttons are and am now clicking them like some sort of horny mut humping a hot chicks leg. So don't take it too seriously it's all in good fun)Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

shah269 0 #38 March 12, 2012 I've worked in the us and the eu. I've worked for public and private organizations for the past 10 years. And from my point of view.....engineers sure are odd folks. And yeah the guys tend to be nutty but the majority of the female engineers down right make me wonder how they reproduced. Favorite quote from a friend who works finance.... Only an engineer would invent a dimmer switch since only they want only 43% light Now I'm not saying all engineers are this way but a good many are. And sadly these people are negative advertising for the field and a good number of normal and smart folks don't want to become an engineerLife through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

heavydude 0 #41 March 13, 2012 The WORST thing in Engineering is bogus bosses that pretend they are real engineers but dropped out and went to business school and then they supervise engineers.

shah269 0 #44 June 18, 2012 Bad joke / good observation What's the difference between Gay Pride and an Engineering office? The drag queens can walk in high heels and the engineering queens cant! I was driving through the engineering complex today and I actually had to slow down to check this out...wasn't sure what the hell I was seeing...was it male clown rocking high heels and holding a cucumber between his ass cheeks? Was it a joke? Was it Pat? Engineering ladies....make up...it's subtle, it's to accentuate femininity to be utilized in moderation and with dexterity! Utilizing colors seen only in the Ringling Brothers in quantities found at Home Depot and applied by paint rollers well....your just asking for it! And stop looking at me raising those drawn in eyebrows where your hair line should have been just because I've slowed down pointed and laughed! I mean look you are having a hard enough time walking in those ill fitting payless high heel shoes to your next meeting.

dontlikemustard 0 #46 June 19, 2012 well, I'm just about to leave the office. but as an geo/civil engineer myself... this is what i did today. (see attachment..) oh and it was about 8 pages of this. basically you draft what's written on that page, which takes about 6 hours per page... and then you design the foundation of the house, and predict the water flow that goes on top of it etc... it gets really complicated, really fast. Yes I am weird, at times even a bit socially awkward. its just a side effect of doing this for 40 hours a week... That being said, for some odd reason, I find it fun, especially at the end, when you see the end results. I think one thing that separates engineers from most other people is that we see the world as very black and white. We understand the physical world around us better than the average person, but were usually terrible at reading people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shah269 0 #48 June 19, 2012 And this is why I have a job from now till the end of time. I sit between engineers like you and managers. Managers can't figure out why you can't see the human element and the need for profit margin. And you are too busy trying to develop a perpetual motion machine. I don't know if i said it before but one day I was having a few drinks with someone from HR at a fortune 500 company. I asked her a rather blunt question regarding compensation. Why do you pay your engineers/scientists with PhD's who work in your R&D so little compared to your MBA's and your middle to upper management teams even though the R&D guys are the heart and soul of your company. Her response, "Because I can, they don't work for money. They work because it makes them happy. Their compensation is publishing papers and going to conferences not driving around in nice new cars or going on nice vacations." That statement floored me! I couldn’t believe how out of touch I was with my fellow engineers. I always knew that I was a very round peg in a very square hole but hearing that from someone who was in charge of establishing the compensation packages for engineers just made it clear that I am not an engineer. I guess that lack of interest in monetary reward trickles down to the lack of interest in other aspects of life outside of the office. And for the record I make love with the lights on. The girls I bring home are worthy of the full light treatment. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

So you figure that people who skydive because they like it - rather than because they are paid to do so - have a serious lack of interest in life?
