Societal Misfit

I have come to the realization that in order to become an engineer, you must first give up anything and everything about yourself that would be considered normal.

Prerequisite for engineering positions:

• Prescription glasses reclaimed from he 50's.
• A total lack of common sense. (The light bulb burns out, replace it. It is completely unnecessary to create a database to calculate the exact moment in time the light bulb will burn out next. Nor is it necessary to create a fish bone analysis to quantify the need for a new light bulb.)
• Tube socks with dress pants. (What the hell??)
• maniacal laughter over electronics puns and euphemisms.
• Plaid dress shirts.
• Bundles of pens, pencils, and highlighters of varying colors.
