I haven't been on Quatloos very much recently, because I've been balancing my time between working retail and continuing my job search for a position in my major of mechanical engineering. Well, I'm proud to say that after a little more than two years since graduation, I've finally secured an entry-level position as an Instrument Engineer! I start in early December!
I'll still visit Quatloos from time to time, but I won't be a regular poster from now on.

Congrats.
The fact that you sincerely and wholeheartedly believe that the “Law of Gravity” is unconstitutional and a violation of your sovereign rights, does not absolve you of adherence to it.

Congratulations . . . . .
We hope this moment marks the beginning of a journey of adventures so that some day, you can look back and say "that moment was important for me".

Very Good!
But not an excuse to ignore us, I try to herd a whole flock of Engineers much as one does cats and I manage to post once in a while.

Re: Got an Engineering Job!
A mathematician, a physicist and an engineer all set out to prove the proposition that all odd numbers are prime - which is, of course, absurd. The mathematician's proof: "1 is odd and prime, 3 is odd and prime, 5 is odd and prime, 7 is odd and prime; therefore, by induction, all odd numbers are prime." The physicist's proof: "1 is odd and prime, 3 is odd and prime, 5 is odd and prime, 7 is odd and prime, 9 . . . is an experimental error." The engineer's proof: "1 is odd and prime, 3 is odd and prime, 5 is odd and prime, 7 is odd and prime, 9 is odd and prime, 11 is odd and prime . . ."

The optimist says: “The glass is half full.” The pessimist says: “The glass is half empty.” The engineer says: “The glass is twice as big as it needs to be.”
