You might be an engineer if…

  • your idea of good interpersonal communication means getting the decimal point in the right place
  • you have "Dilbert" comics displayed anywhere in your work area
  • you look forward to Christmas so you can put together the kids' toys
  • you know the direction the water swirls when you flush
  • you have ever taken the back off your TV just to see what's inside
  • a team of you and your co-workers have set out to modify the antenna on the radio in your work area for better reception
  • you own one or more white short-sleeve dress shirts
  • you have ever purchased an electronic appliance "as-is"
  • the salespeople at Best Buy can't answer any of your questions
  • you have introduced your kids by the wrong name
  • you have a habit of destroying things in order to see how they work
  • you can remember 7 computer passwords but not your anniversary
  • you thought the real heroes of "Apollo 13" were the mission controllers
  • you think that when people around you yawn, it's because they didn't get enough sleep
  • your lap-top computer costs more than your car
  • you comment to your spouse that his/her straight hair is nice and parallel
  • your favorite actor is R2D2
