You might be an engineer if...
« on: May 22, 2006, 08:18 »
You and your co-workers have set out to modify the antenna on the radio in your work area for better reception.
 
All your sentences begin with "what if".
 
At Christmas, it goes without saying that you will be the one to find the burnt-out bulb in the string.
 
Buying flowers for your girlfriend or spending the money to upgrade your RAM is a moral dilemma.
 
Dilbert is your hero.
 
Everyone else on the Alaskan cruise is on deck peering at the scenery, and you are still on a personal tour of the engine room.
 
In college you thought Spring Break was a metal fatigue failure.
 
On vacation, you are reading a computer manual and turning the pages faster than someone else who is reading a John Grisham novel.
 
People groan at the party when you pick out the music.
 
The blinking 12:00 on someone's VCR draws you in like a tractor beam to fix it.
 
The only jokes you receive are through e-mail.
 
The salespeople at Circuit City can't answer any of your questions.
 
The thought that a CD could refer to finance or music never enters your mind.
 
When you go into a computer store, you eavesdrop on a salesperson talking with customers and you butt in to correct him and spend next twenty minutes answering the customers' questions, while the salesperson stands by silently, nodding his head.
 
You are able to argue persuasively that Ross Perot's phrase "electronic town hall" makes more sense than the term "information superhighway," but you don't because, after all, the man still uses hand-drawn pie charts.
 
You are always late to meetings.
 
You are at an air show and know how fast the skydivers are falling.
 
You are aware that computers are actually only good for playing games, but are afraid to say so out loud.
 
You are convinced you can build a phazer from your garage door opener and your camera's flash attachment.
 
You are currently gathering the components to build your own nuclear reactor.
 
You are next in line on death row in a French prison and you find that the guillotine is not working properly so you offer to fix it.
 
You are still drinking Mr. Pibb.
 
You are wine tasting and find yourself paying more attention to the cork screws than the '84 Chardonnay.
 
You bought your wife a new CD ROM for her birthday.
 
You bought your wife's valentine gift at orchard supply.
 
You can name at least six Star Trek episodes.
 
You can quote scenes from any Monty Python movie.
 
You can type 70 words a minute but can't read your own handwriting.
