Please don’t confuse me with a real Engineer…

I heard a joke once that went something like this:

“What does an Engineer use for birth control?”

“His personality.”

Why is this relevant? Well because I passed my Inter-Provincial exam for my 4th Class Power Engineers ticket a couple days ago. This ain’t the kind of Engineering certificate that comes with one of those fancy pinky rings, well unless I’m willing to devote another 6 yrs of my life to it. Some of which would include Employer changes, geographical changes and tonnes of personal sacrifice. I’ll go for the next class up and see how it goes, but as far as I am concerned now the 3rd will be as far as I go.

Just please don’t confuse me with a real engineer.

Still, it keeps me employed where I am happy and provides a great lifestyle for my family and I. it’s nice to be grounded.

Meanwhile the snow has been falling here and it’s time to go skiing. Mt Seymour is open and I can’t wait to get up there with the family. I have 8 days off coming up soon and plan to spend a lot of it hitting the slopes.

Been out with the camera lately and have to say I am starting to get a bit better at this gig, especially with my lovely wifes post editing skills in Aperture:

Well off to work for another OT night. Looking forward to the weekend off.
