I finally realised something ysterday. I really AM a rocket scientist. (bizzare logic in this one)
Watched the Joey pilot episode. If you've not seen it, there is this scene where Joey is asking what his nephew is up to. He tells Joey, to which he says "What are you, some kinda rocket scientist", to which the nephew responds "Well, yes actually".
One of my colleagues, who works on the groundstation, has a "Yes, I really AM a rocket scientist" t-shirt, and has used that as a description of his job in the past too.
One of my ex-managers from when I used to work in a bar said "Now I can say I know a rocket scientist" when he found out what I was up to now.
So I guess I can call myself a "Rocket Scientist" as I do design a part of a spacecraft. Why the sudden realisation? well, just an accumulation of events and statements really.
So all of you guys, congrats, you can now say "I know a rocket scientist" as well.
I remember some late night TV a couple of years ago where they had some kind of weird contest involving a photocopier to see who was the smartest - rocket scientists or brain surgeons. Don't know who won.
ReplyDeleteSo you're a rocket scientist?
ReplyDeleteThat don't impress me much...
