1) People wanting credit for doing analysis without actually accomplishing jack shit.

2) People with their heads so far up their asses they have to open their mouth to blow their nose.

3) People from who determine specs by guessing at what the client wants rather than actually ASKING them.

Working late sucks.

Working with no tools that you desperately need(3/16" endmills) really sucks

Working with a cracked fingernail(did that thursday) really, really sucks.

Just finished a two-week home improvement project, basically a shovel-and-wheelbarrow drill. Every muscle in my body is sore. I hurt everywhere but my earlobes.

My new camera came the other day - a Sony A3000. Not my first choice in DSLRs, as I really, REALLY want a Nikon D7100, but with refurb bodies alone going for almost a grand, A Sony Kit for two bills and change from woot was hard to pass up. Now I gotta scrounge up an SD card, and start combing Craigslist for glass - Sony E mounts aren't exactly the hot commodity to find..

Thankfully, Amazon is dumb. They'll often happily ship stuff to Alaska that companies who actually specialize in the stuff, won't.

If you ever find yourself near Basile, Louisiana, on Tues thru Sat, you really should go by DI's Cajun Restaurant, located at 6561 Evangeline Hwy, Basile, LA 70515. It's a neat old-time restaurant set out in the midst of rice fields, with excellent food.
You can even fly there since they have their own 3000' x 120' grass strip, taxi up to the restaurant, and park in the airplane parking area. That's what a group of us did this past Friday. Took 5 planes(11 people) and flew down, and met another group(5 people) riding in a car.
The food was great(I got the boiling room special, 4 ginormous crabs, shrimp, potatoes & corn), the service quite good, and the landing strip is the nicest grass one I have ever seen.

It is customary to build the "Engineering Model" BEFORE one builds the "Flight Model." Except when the project is in R&D, apparently, and one wants to say, "We've started work on the Flight Model." Yeah, that works out really well. Especially when one is trying to sell a whole series of these things to one's major customer... Most "rocket scientists" live up to the moniker. Some live up to the quotation marks. :roll:
Birds gotta swim, fish gotta fly, assholes gotta ass, until the day they die.

"Common sense" is an oxymoron.

I ate there two years ago, accompanying a softball team during the playoffs. Damn fine food.
