I can't finish my model since I'm staying at my aunt's house, almost 1 month (can't go out bcs of MCO). My glitters and glue left at my hometown (took 3 hours to go there).
At Work
Coworker: "You sit down to do a drawing you think will take a few minutes, then spend the whole day deciding what fastener to use."
Coworker: “How much do you know about this concept?”
Me: “About as much as any graduate.”
Coworker: “So you know nothing.”
Me: *shrugs*

Professional Engineer 1: “We need to consider the implications of having lead in this hardware.”
Professional Engineer 2 (over the phone): “From my long experience in fixing broken PlayStations and Xboxes, I can say that non-lead solder is weaker.”

Me: “Personally, I don’t think I even qualify for novice in most of these categories.”

Me: “Which is better, being an electrician or an electrical engineer?”
Friend: “Well, every electrician I know wants to be an electrical engineer.”
