I just spent two solid days hanging out with a bunch of engineers between the ages of 45-60. Mostly. There were some other people.
How was it? were they nice? social skills? awkward dilbert types? tell all.

He got off at Bill Clinton's stop and was wearing an Hermes tie. I think he could afford the darn popcorn.

Did the engineers make you extra cranky? Or was it the other people?

Being stuck in company with other people for two solid days made me cranky.

All in all, they were nice and well-meaning.

Probably not, but I was trying to read some sense into it. Clearly, that was my mistake.

Engineers have a tendancy to be slightly odd but generally sweet.

The tie flipped so she could see the underside when she stood up from blowing him. Then he said he'd drop by Bill's and try to figure out if ppnyc is better than Monica.

I'm thinking of havving you shot. And no, this isn't a whiff. I get it, but that's really no excuse.

My boyfriend is an engineer.

He would not appreciate your take on his profession.
