You Know You're An Engineer When...

I think being an engineer is a good fit for me.

Lacee and I decided to go on a short walk around the block tonight to get out of the house a little bit. There's a small park (Maeser Park) right behind our house that takes up the back half of our block. As we were walking around, Lacee noticed they had moved one of the picnic tables from one end of the park to the middle of the park. When she commented on it, I replied, "Oh, they did? I didn't even notice. But I did notice that only the front two legs of the table are bolted to the concrete pad; the back two legs are missing the bolt." Lacee looked at me and laughed. It's pretty typical for me not to notice big things, but I generally always notice small details. (I'm dreading the day when Lacee comes home with a drastic haircut and I don't even notice... )

A lady I used to work with on occasion at BYU showed me this comic the other day. I hope it's big enough to read. Maybe you have to be (or know) an engineer to get it, but I think it's great!
