Engineering is the professional art of applying science to the optimum conversion of natural resources to the benefit of man.
~Ralph J. Smith
Looking up at the stuff hanging from my wall this afternoon, serendipitiously, I noticed in passing that today marks the first anniversary of having been granted the auspicious title of Professional Engineer.
A whole year without it having been rescinded. Somebody's asleep on the job.
Cool! Some of my favorite people at work are engineers (and they have reputations for being "out there", which is why they are some of my favorite people...) Congrats on your anniversary. I wondered how you made your living.

When do they let you start driving the train?

Engineer is in my title, too. They sometimes even ask me my opinion on things. Scary.

I'd been at work as an engineer for about a month when someone walked into my office and said "You're the company expert on such-and-such." I was about to deny it when I realised "My God, so I am."
