I would too, Id say you are getting paided too much to be driving that to the work place for a roofing job. Id want a discount on the roofing cost.

I just stay at holiday Inns so I can be whatever the situations needs; doctor, lawyer, etc..

Actually in my 40 years of work I've ran across some really good engineers & also some real sh1tty ones too.

Your post reminded me of my favorite engineer joke : "Are you an engineer ? " , " No , I can actually fix stuff " .

Retired railroad but never a train driving engineer. BSIE (imaginary engineer) Lehigh U formerly the "Engineers" but now the "Mountain Hawks" which would worry me were I still there as I can't fly like a bird.
