A bullet point list of some of things I learned at work:
- Do not be in the same room when a 50000 volt, 200000 amp, 50 microsecond “lightning” strike goes off. It will vaporize anything in its path with a bright flash and a large boom.
- “While at The Boeing Company you will not be able to aviod the wild goose chases that you are sent on by well meaning co-workers.” — From “The Art of Being a Professional Boeing Employee”, Author Unknown[1]
- Tasks in The Real World™ are not like homework: they often take longer, are not as well defined, and not graded.
- With regard to the previous item, I need to be better at planning long term (i.e. > 1 week).
- My job title[2] should not be abbreviated.
- “Life is too short not to have an EVIL PLAN. Life is too short not to do something that mat ters. Life is too short to sleep walk through it, hoping, dreaming, but never quite waking up. Life is too short not to become the person you were born to be.“
AJ–I will never run out of things to read or see with your blogs, I am going to have to install a computer in my bathroom and I will always have something worthwhile to read. Thanks
Design and Analysis are completely different things,I was wondering what do you do exactly?
Day to day, I design and analyze computing systems, making sure they meet mission requirements.
