at xsbaby’s grad party, we put my xsbro, the chem engineer, next to my friend Janice’s husband, who is a naval engineer [is that what they call the ones who build boats. i guess mechanical with a specialization in boats?] so they could bore the hell out of each other for the duration! LOL! engineers are a special breed, all pedantic, and largely pains in the a@@ : )
Ships, not boats. ;-)
Sarah is going for her top braces this afternoon. No more crunchy or sticky stuff.
“All pedantic”
My first husband was a P.E.-he was one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever known, especially when it came to higher math. He certainly could be pedantic, though-if I went to a seminar with him, I would do what you did- leave him talking to all the other engineers while I joined the collection of other wives near the buffet table or bar...
He did teach me to love drawing plans, though, and how a structure in harmony with the setting can be both functional and attractive.
