I love engineers. Honestly - I understand them. And yes, they are different than other people. They think different, respond to situations differently - they are just "Special". Yeah - that's a good way to put it.
My best working experiences were always those that I spent the majority of my time dealing with the engineers in a company. When I started in the steel business I worked in Technology. 20 engineers total. 10 Japanese. Man - I loved to screw with their minds. They didn't know WHAT to think of me! Ahhh....good times.
A few years ago I was dating an engineer. (I'm not allowed to do that again, BTW). He didn't understand what I meant when I said engineers were a breed apart. He didn't see it. So I took great pleasure every day in sending him a new Engineer Joke. He might not have laughed but I thought they were funny as hell.
Well - Dash has some great Understanding Engineers jokes up that you should take the time to read. Hey - it's Saturday - sit back and enjoy.
Thanks for the laughs Dash!!
Posted by Tammi at July 2, 2005 06:21 AMThanks, Tammi. I work with engineers and architects every day and can attest that most of them are a little different. I mean that in a good way, of course.
Posted by: Dash at July 2, 2005 07:08 AMCould you come here and loosen up the engineers in my office. They are about to drive me nuts. There's one so bad that we call him the Grinch!
Posted by: Sissy at July 2, 2005 08:05 AMI pride myself on being different than most people. I do see that I think and see things differently than most people.
And on that "special" part, you make it sound like we rode the short bus to school ;P
