It was funny though.
I've seen similar crap on other forums but never here.
You have to loosen up a bit. Us engineers( industry employees), work long hours, always crunching numbers, equations, writing/debugging code, building prototypes and attend meetings.
Its alot of stress and strain on our physical and mental health, plus our families sacrifice alot to give us the space and time to do what we need to do.
Thats why I joke around. Some appreciate it and some impotent freaks take offense to it. If they were TRUE engineers like me, they know what the $%^& I"m talking about!
My dad, thought engineers dressed in suits, were clean shaven and acted superior to everyone else, all day long. If you are a TRUE engineer, you'd know we are ordinary people, a bit smarter than the others, but we have feelings and misgivings as well. We wear jeans, we come to work with 5 o'clock shadows, some of us even swear and cut jokes at work( not just me). and thats erfectly fine and normal.
I hate it when people label me a professional because of my degree and demand I act a certain way. Granted, I restrain myself when necessary, but I...like who I am and always be myself.
Thats probably part of the reason I get many high paying job offers and assignments that I want. I'm legitimate. People like me. I don't take funny jokes or strikes personally. I'll roll with the punches and look the other way most of the time. i try to make the environment pleasant for everyone. becoz we all have problems that we wish would go away, but a good laugh is a nice relief.
But there's always some sour grapes who ruin it for everyone and make the project deadline harder to cope with.
I hate these mother$%^&ers and wish their health would decline quickly.
