Entry which will likely dissuade many who were interested in engineering from going through with it

Welcome back, or welcome for the first time to new readers who are likely 1 second away from hitting "Back" on their browsers. My name is [blogger mumbles some name that likely isn't even a real one], and as you may have guessed, I am an engineer. Sometimes that requires me to stare a computer monitor all day, except for my lunch, in which case I stare at the monitor to write this blog. Other days, like yesterday, this requires me to drive to another location in order to test things which I built. With a little tweaking, trickery and a technician who got some serious PDA solitaire playing time in, I was able to pass the test for the device.

Anyway, I can't help but wonder what the people who tested this were thinking as they did it. Initial calculations indicate that there are approximately 1.2 million jokes that could follow the reading of that article. I'll just let everyone else who reads this do the work for me and post a comment.

For those who happen to like physics and are feeling particularly festive about it now that it's the holiday season, may I recommend some physics carols? Oooookay, maybe not.

Well, I believe my time here is up. Until next lunch...
