I have a light blue polyester shirt.. It goes pretty good with my red with little blue diamonds tie and some khakis.

Remember when mechanical engineers didn't have to design around electronics? I don't, since I only started my career a little over a year ago, but jeez, do I hate that part. It's gotta be smaller for the end user, but it's gotta be bigger so it's easier and cheaper to assemble, but it's gotta be skinnier for better heat transfer, but it's gotta be bigger so everything fits on the pc board.. I can't win.

Remember when all your mistakes were called experience on your CV :p

Luckily I'm not very high up, so my mistakes usually don't end up going very far. My last job though... Stupid rounding and stacking errors on UHMW. The first holes fit.. The second holes probably could have worked. The third holes were starting to get a ways off. By the end, the holes were freakin 2 inches off. Try explaining to your boss not only that you effed up, but WHY/HOW you effed up... Now that is what you call experience..
