President Roslin's cancer *was* cured by cylon fetus blood. Just sayin.

not one 'finger' joke. yet.

I had an emotional attachment to my Cherry 2000 at one point too...

I blogged about this last year when China wanted to be the first country in electromagnetic dominance. From my blog:

China: HEY USA, ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
USA: What you say?
Taiwan: Somebody set us up the bomb
USA: Why China yelling?
China: CAPS LOCK KEY NOT WORKING. BEIJING NOT YELLING
USA: China yelling at Washington DC. Scramble jets. drop bomb.

the time cube. wow. I haven't seen that in a long time. I didn't think it still existed. thanks for the flashback.

I have a BA in Classical Civilizations and Education from UCLA, but I'm currently a Senior Systems Engineer for a major defense contractor. Most of my peers (almost all of them are new-hires and are way younger than I am) are getting their MS in EE, so that seems to be the status quo. They are all very book smart. They all know their way around documentation and can easily take charge during design meetings. However, I have nine years of experience, field experience, and eight years of military service. I have facetime with the customer and can understand operational factors that my coworkers have no clue about. I specialize in what I do. I know my limitations and constantly ask questions when appropriate. It has been an uphill battle, but those who have worked with me can vouch for me. Those who only see my lack of EE degree can step aside and let me get the job done. Experience, customer interaction, and ability to improve - These are the important things. Walking is easy when the road is flat...
