  1. Wireless Engineer by GigsVT · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think anyone who calls themselves a "wireless engineer" should be able to figure out how to put an N connector on an Airport. Unless you mean "engineer" in the "sanitation engineer" sense.

      Engineer & Style are mutualle exclusive - always have been - always will.... ie: if style matters to you, you are by NO MEANS an engineer. This one needs one of those red stary stickers on it - "As seen on Slashdot."

      The mirror was slashdotted first.

      I know this because I immediately right clicked both links and made new windows. Then I realized: "I'm being an asshole..."

    No I'm not, and I don't even want to get started down that path to fantasy. I'll just be depressed again when I open my eyes and realize that I'm still in this tiny office , with a job description that is nowhere near as exciting as "wireless network engineer".

    I go through these bouts of depression too much as it is with my constant, recurring, and haunting "you are a porn star that will be filming a scene with Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez....." day dreams.
