There is definitely no other kind of engineer. Rolls eyes, flips hair, struts off.
She's such a brat, goodness.
Well, teenage me, you're wrong. But I think you'll be okay with that :)
I'm sitting in an R&D lab, working on a test method for medical devices, in my jeans and combat boots. Sporting pink and purple hair and glasses. Being an engineer!
I've even operated heavy machinery and made a tape dispenser out of aluminum and steel (long story). I didn't have to wear a hardhat, but I did have safety glasses 😎
Even though I'm so exhausted from the experiment I'm running at work. And making that damn tape dispenser was one of the most stressful projects I've ever done. And I'm constantly doubting myself in everything I work on, and the anxiety of it all can be so draining.
It's okay, because I know if I could go back in time and meet my past, she would just be excited to see me and where I am now. And know that she'll be there soon.
And that is the least exhausting feeling in the world.
