Why I'm an Engineer

Today we finally built our flight test unit. Seeing it go together, and without any major problems at that, was really cool. It reminded me why I sit in a windowless, chilly building with a group of people most of whom I would not freely associate with. I do it because every so often, I get to see the things I helped design turn into real hardware, with a real purpose.

Have you hugged an engineer today?

Well done toni! I can even make a guess as to which one - how is he?

Randomgirl - you never know, he might call you tonight thinking its thursday - after all, that's supposed to be the second to last work day in a week, right?
