ASHARP: I want the truth!

Engineer: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has physical laws. And those laws have to be studied and applied by people willing to forgo football games and hunting trips and the like so they can hit the books sufficent to understand the physical laws to an applicable level. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Mr. ASHARP? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom.



Engineer: You want a new design?

Ass-showing Hubristic AR Poster (ASHARP): I think I'm entitled to them.

Engineer: You want a new design?

ASHARP: I want it now!

Engineer: Then you had better buy it outside the company, because nothing but redesigns are possible with a low risk micro manager like you in my face.
Better still, but the whole small company with the technology. But be warned that the talent from that small company will quit when they get a sniff of your constant demands for visablitity and control.

I've come up with my own definition, after 6 years of correcting screwups on $1mil+ construction job blueprints:
Design Engineer-An engineer that can cut and paste anything in Autocad, but has no knowledge of US Building and Electrical Codes, because in their native country, everything was built out of mud and sticks. Mad
