Engineers and drawings

One of the funnier things about working with all engineers is the drawings. Of everything. Instead of just explaining the work being done on his house, my co-worker used his marker board to draw a picture of it, likely to scale, complete with slope markings (since it was 2D) and before/after comparisons. #technology

True colors

It's always weird to see your co-workers at non-work functions, especially when they dress differently for different occasions. While at work, most people dress conservatively and try to look somewhat nice. They wear clean pants. Their shirts have collars. But as soon as they leave that work environment, everything changes. I worked with a guy whose non-work attire consisted of dainty white shoes, dark jean shorts with an elastic band, and a tucked-in t-shirt. I couldn't take him seriously after that. Just this morning I was in a class with a guy who normally wears khakis and a polo, but since it's an especially casual day at work today, he wore what must be his usual: Boots, 90s jeans, and a t-shirt tucked in such that his cell-phone stood out like a pistol. #lifestyle

Green eggs (6)

White eggs come from white chickens, while brown eggs come from brown chickens. But no, green eggs don't come from green chickens. Unbeknownst to me until last Saturday, green eggs literally do exist. I thought they were made-up. They're not darkly colored, but there's definitely a green tint to them. There are two in my fridge at the moment. They will be eaten within the next week. #food
