YOU MAY BE AN ENGINEER... If you stare at an orange juice container because it says CONCENTRATE If your wrist watch has more computing power than a 486DX-50 If your idea of good interpersonal communication means getting the decimal point in the right place If you look forward to Christmas only to put together the kids' toys If your ideal evening consists of fast-forwarding through the latest sci-fi movie looking for technical inaccuracies If you carry on a one-hour debate over the expected results of a test that actually takes five minutes to run If you have modified your can-opener to be microprocessor driven If you know the direction the water swirls when you flush If you have ever taken the back off your TV just to see what's inside If you are currently gathering the components to build your own nuclear reactor If you have ever saved the power cord from a broken appliance If you have a habit of destroying things in order to see how they work If you have ever owned a calculator with no equal key and know what RPN stands for If you know how to take the cover off of your computer, and what size screw driver to use If you can't remember where you parked your car for the 3rd time this week If you thought the real heroes of "Apollo 13" were the mission controllers If you have a neatly sorted collection of old bolts and nuts in your garage If your three year old son asks why the sky is blue and you try to explain atmospheric absorption theory If your 4 basic food groups are: 1. Caffeine 2. Fat 3. Sugar 4. Chocolate Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?" The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said 'Take what you want.'" The second engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; her clothes probably wouldn't have fit you, anyway." If you think and sincerely believe the project is on time and everything will function correctly, then you really don't know what is going on. |
