What Engineering Has Done to Me
Originally entitled "What Engineering Has Taught Me." But I changed it, suckers.
-I've become very literal. For instance, when I say "how you like them apples?" I am actually referring to the general deliciousness quotient of a bushel of apples. (Answer: 4.318)
-In that same vein, I can't write a complex, metaphor-laden essay anymore. However, I can be brief and to the point. "George Washington was the first American president. He was also a surveyor. How you like them apples?" That's good enough for a BC here at Marquette.
-If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, well then it's probably a duck. Don't look at me, I'm not a goddamn biologist. I just cover stuff in concrete.
-When in doubt, add more concrete.
-You can get away with anything when you're wearing a reflective vest.
-I can come up with cost estimates for things on the spot. For instance, that hobo who hangs out down the street from where you live will probably sell you an 8th of crack for the cost of a box of 3 1/2" wood screws.
-The simplest explanation may be the correct one, but it's just not as much fun as the roundabout, Rube-Goldberg machine way of explaining things.
-I'm really good at estimating liquid volumes. That's probably true for any college student though.
-I am fucking in love with parenthesis. (Not kidding (for serious)).
-"Meh, we're only off by a half a foot" becomes a big problem when that half an inch is between the end of your roadway and the beginning of your bridge. Whoops.
So in conclusion, never drive in Southeastern Wisconsin. I cannot guarantee your safety.

Warning - Offensive to Pat Robertson
Hey everybody! I know I have a history of being too careful with my words and how I hate political humor and I certainly would never be sarcastic, but I did promise to pop in each season and give my 1 cent (it's not quite worth two cents), so I almost wrote these words of encouragement on Ben's Facebook wall, but then I copied and pasted onto here and then expanded on it so we can all celebrate the greatest upgrade from one president to the next since going from the impotent responder to the Depression / lame duck, Herbert Hoover, to try-everything-to-fix-this-now FDR. I find that to be a surprisingly accurate comparison
After the accumulated hours of the first three debates, I made my choice as to who is the lesser of two douches, even though the final debate hasn't happened yet. Does that make me rash? Especially since the debates were such a toss-up between the impeccably dressed, strong-voiced, well organized answers of Barack Obama and the empty rhetoric, obvious pandering and double speak of the cliché-loving, tired sounding John McCain. Earlier, I was thinking, “I can't believe these are the two best people they could give us to pick from.” But now I don't even feel that bad voting for someone who voted against BAIPA.
I think one of the funniest turn of events in the election is when Sarah Palin, who we've known for six weeks, posed the question after Barack's 20 months under the spotlight, "Do we really know the real Barack Obama?" Gee, she lost the verdict on the political scandal probe, as well as my respect, gosh darnit! “Palling around with terrorists?” If you don't have anything substantial to say, get back in the kitchen and start being a mother to kids who seem like they need it. (In that last bit – the pandering to Pat is just an added bonus.)
I think John McCain's RNC speech was his most inspirational one yet – I stayed awake the entire time!
This might be my meanest / most tasteless post; and yet, I don't think it will generate as much controversy as the last election cycle. So I'll close with a few quotes from my current favorite presidential candidate:
We are taxing income from work at nearly twice the level that we're taxing gains for investors... as my friend Warren Buffet put it to me - "If there's class warfare going on in America, then my class is winning."
In this campaign, we will not stand for the politics that uses religion as a wedge and patriotism as a bludgeon.
We serve an awesome God in the blue states.

Did Pat Just Turn 21?
I got one phone call at 3am, but nothing like the seismic shocks I thought would reverberate coast to coast as Pat became a full adult.
Happy belated Birthday, you Big Ol' Player!
