One of my babies...

My favorite "that's nice" story came from a show and tell with my sister and brother-in-law. As we walked through the lab with me explaining how we had multiple computers built right into the assembly machine, programmed with the Franklin (Keil) assembler, my brother-in-law looked around and ask " Do you people employ union painters?"
Of course he was a painter.

Cyril... I can't believe you guys got that thing going. Good Job! (especially in the harsh working conditions, I mean 'criteria'... very severe 'criteria' on that puppy).

Bradford... I was part of a group hosting an IEEE meeting and we were showing these IEEE members the R&D equipment we designed. It was HIGHLY stressed not to touch ANYTHING due to the ESD and mil-spec requirements.

Yep, all Electrical Engineers in this group of IEEE meeting. Immediately after the stern lecture on NOT TOUCHING ANYTHING, some dufus from Hewlett Packard touches a board, and asks "What does this do?"

I smacked his hand away just because he deserved it. (He touched a dead board anyway, but OMG what an idiot). All eyes were on him, not me.

I'm sure he was a union painter too.

Why does that just not surprise me?
