I worked with engineers for a number of years and can relate to all things being said about them. My hubby is not a engineer but a school teacher. He is so detail oriented that it drives me crazy. If I ask a question he has to give me all the past history, etc. etc. of the question I ask. He can't get past the idea that we are not all 4th graders and need everything explained in detail. But, he is good to me and supports my quilting so I guess I will keep him!
