I was surprised to be recognized for service to the club

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Engineers

en-gi-neer (a definition) n.

A person trained to put scientific knowledge to practical use. Actually enjoys using math and science on a regular basis. typically never gives up until the problem is solved. sometimes is obnoxious in insisting a task must be done the "right way."

To the engineer, all matter in the universe can be placed into one of two categories: (1) things that need to be fixed, and (2) things that will need to be fixed after you've had a few minutes to play with them.

Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems.

Normal people don't understand this concept; they believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.

No engineer looks at a television remote control without wondering what it would take to turn it into a stun gun. No engineer can take a shower without wondering if some sort of Teflon coating would make showering unnecessary. To the engineer, the world is a toy box full of sub-optimized and feature-poor toys.
