I LOVE this post !! Worked in the engineering world for over 26 years. Started out as the only "girl" in the early 70's. These guys would come in and talk about their wives "big ideas.!" Every day there was some story... hah!
We all thought of how too's .. including "sky hooks" hooks that came out of the sky with on attachment. Dreamed of that one when I broke my back.. so I didn't have to move my feet about. hah!
You made me laugh.. So sorry to see your troubles.. Over engineered, sidewalk engineer, you need your own hard hat, they do ! come ! in PINK ! One geologist would slam her clip board down and loudy say "Why don't the drillers listen to me!" uhhhh could be the pink hard hat ! ( 1990's)
Hah!
Thanks for my morning !! tipping my tea cup to you.
