Thanks. 10 of my years in design were at a research and development firm where... I did research... and development.

Just emphasize that on the resume/cover letter if its a job you're really interested in.

Oldie but goodie (I like to tell my new hires):

BS - ********
MS - more ****
PhD - piled high and deep!

First time I heard this was from my Biology teacher the 10th grade. He had an earring and I thought he was so cool after he told us this. lol He's still teaching there...and still has his earring.

These aren't "sit and say nothing meetings". No. Like I have to talk and actively listen.

I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse.
Regardless, that's A LOT of meetings

Today is a better day. My brain was useless after a while. I took some tylenol but it hardly did anything. Just a terrible stress headache.

Yes. Please come here to fix it. Because they didn't do a TAB and I don't think our aging facility can supply that much cfm...and I think it also supplies air to another part of the facility. ****. I also don't think we have enough amperage for all four pieces of equipment.

****. I forgot that you are me and I am me and you are we and we are all together.

I don't know what a TAB is so this will work out well. I mean you don't know. I mean we. I mean... You mean... We mean... What's a TAB?

Okay. I'm trying not to crack up. But a TAB report is 'testing, adjusting, and balancing' report for HVAC systems. The adjust the flow of a space etc. The reason I'm cracking up is that...one of the engineers here has no idea what it is/doesn't realize how important it is to have an accurate TAB IN THE ******* PHARMACY WHERE NEGATIVE PRESSURE IS REQUIRED. So there is this delightful go-around with our HVAC and energy engineer arguing with both the other VA engineer and the stupid AE that designed this system based on winter conditions, when, of course, airflow is super great, but summer conditions mean, oh ****!, it should be rebalanced by integrating with the preexisting system VABs, and it's just yakety sax on full-volume in the office next to me and I am just adjacent and I love it.

But you know all this already. Because you're me.

 

[DLD PE]

I would have said, "Y'all have to fix this NOW! No pressure, though."

Oh.
