 With My Dead Beat Sky - Monday, March 31, 2008 at 7:20 AM
Engineers. You got to love 'em.

I entered my signals classroom earlier today, unaware that classes were cancelled.

As I was waiting, it dawned upon me that the lecturer mentioned something about a cancellation. I was probably in my drugged state a daze then, so i leaned forward to this other fella and asked him.

Not a smart move in the first place, given that if he was there, he was probably as confused as me.

Anyway,

Me: "Excuse me. Are you in the signals class?"

Him: "Mm" *staring intently at his computer*

Me: "Do you have any idea whether classes are cancelled today? I remembered the lecturer
saying somethign about him being away"

Him: "Dunno."

Me: "Ok, thanks anyway"

Him: *stares at his computer, without a reply, and without flinching*

I leaned over his shoulder, and with his blank yet intent stare towards his laptop screen, i half expected to see a webbie of computer cheats for geeks or maybe even a half naked anime chick (he was this close to having drool fall out of his mouth).

Surprise, surprise, it was just his notes.

This is the perfect model of an engineer. Seriously, i'm not slagging him off. Firstly, he has mastered the art of concentration, i.e. oblivious to your surroundings, level 99 blank stare passive spell. You don't need to be aware of your environment, it's you and the computer screen. I bet if I was a leggy, hot babe, the reaction wouldn't have been different. He'll just go: "Me = dorky engineer. Hot babe = HOT BABE. Me + hot babe = calculation error. Therefore, Me + computer = best friends."

What have I signed myself up for?
