It appears that both you and Slick suffered from the same deprivation of male role models during your formative years. One of the lessons you both obviously missed was about "..not tooting your own horn..".
I realize that bean-jugglers have to spend an awful lot of time wrinkling the numbers from other people's work in an attempt to make themselves look good in front of their boss; but, in engineering and construction it just doesn't work that way.
The results of projects stand on their own merits; and clients, peers, system operations managers and equipment suppliers take care of spreading the word on who does things right. Perhaps that's why my phone keeps ringing, and you have apparently hung yours up (..or perhaps, in your case, it was visa versa).
Since you are obviously so bored that bashing cement companies on a entertainment train thread seems your only current means of amusement, let me suggest an experiment in elementary physics which may help you achieve some satisfaction and local recognition. Obtain a short length of 1"O.D. marine mooring line; approximately 650mm will do. Take that, and two six-packs of generic light beer from your fridge, out into the common area at your apartment complex. When you have consumed your 12th can, see how many times in a row you can prove the concept of capillary action.
I'm certain that everyone present will recognize your accomplishments, and recommend you as a part-time science advisor to your local public safety organization.
Really! If you don't have the smarts, or gumption, to make something happen on your own - consider taking Lee Iacocca's third piece of advice; Okay.
Whiners accomplish nothing, and nobody on this thread needs your pissy-tush babysitting efforts directed at their investing interests.
Regards,
John :-) |
