You know you're an engineer if ......

[photographer]

your idea of good interpersonal communication means getting the decimal point in the right place

you look forward to Christmas only because you can put the kids' toys together

you have used coat hangers and duct tape for some things other than hanging coats and taping ducts

you can remember 7 computer passwords, but not your anniversary


Any more ?

Come on all you engineers - show us why you're so special ......

when you measure the distance you have to put the new curtain rings in to the 4th decimal point (as my luverly friend did)


when you refer to your calculator as "he" and let your girlfriend make "him" a duvet cover (as my flatmate did)

Engineers .....

Thanks ladies - I thought they were funny - and I was an engineer - long ago.

So if the other engineers have nothing to offer, how about these ..........


You know you're an engineer if ....

you have never backed up your hard drive

your father sat 2 inches in front of the television with a magnifying glass to see how they made up the colours, and you grew up thinking that it was quite normal.

you are convinced you can make a phasor out of your garage door opener and your camera's flash attachment

you are currently gathering the components to build your own nuclear reactor

You Might Be An Engineer if........


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, at Christmas, it goes without saying that you will be the one to find the burnt-out bulb in the string

If you window shop at Radio Shack

If your ideal evening consists of fast-forwarding through the latest sci-fi movie looking for technical inaccuracies

If you are convinced you can build a phazer out of your garage door opener and your camera's flash attachment

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 a team of you and your co-workers have set out to modify the antenna on the radio in your work area for better reception

If you ever burned down the gymnasium with your Science Fair project

If you are currently gathering the components to build your own nuclear reactor

If you have never backed-up your hard drive

If you have ever saved the power cord from a broken appliance
If you have ever purchased an electronic appliance "as-is"

If you see a good design and still have to change it

If the salespeople at Circuit City can't answer any of your questions

If you still own a slide rule and you know how to work it

If the thought that a CD could refer to finance or music never enters your mind

If you own a set of itty-bitty screw drivers, but you don't remember where they are

If you rotate your screen savers more frequently than your automobile tires

If you have a functioning home copier machine, but every toaster you own turns bread into charcoal

If you have more toys than your kids

If you need a checklist to turn on the TV

If you have introduced your kids by the wrong name

If you have a habit of destroying things in order to see how they work

If your I.Q. number is bigger than your weight

If the microphone or visual aids at a meeting don't work and you rush up to the front to fix it

If you can remember 7 computer passwords but not your anniversary

If you have memorized the program schedule for the Discovery channel and have seen most of the shows already

If you have ever owned a calculator with no equal key and know what RPN stands for

If your father sat 2 inches in front of your family's first color TV with a magnifying lens to see how they made the colors, and you grew up thinking that was normal

If you know how to take the cover off of your computer, and what size screw driver to use

If you can type 70 words a minute but can't read your own handwriting

If you did the sound system for your senior prom
if your checkbook always balances

if your wristwatch has more buttons than a telephone

If you thought the real heroes of "Apollo 13" were the mission controllers

If you know what http:/ stands for

If you've ever tried to repair a $5.00 radio

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 choosing to buy flowers for your girlfriend or upgrading your RAM is a moral dilemma.

If the sales people at the local computer store can't answer any of your questions.

If at an air show you know how fast the skydivers are falling.

If you have saved every power cord from all your broken appliances.

If you know vector calculus but you can't remember how to do long division.

If you've actually used every single function on your graphing calculator.
