Watched the 6pm press conference yesterday and had flashbacks to working in the R&D industry.  First 15 minutes was all managers kissing each others ass and thanking everyone.  Finally real engineers and team leads got to talk about what had and will happen with project.  We had a process at work once where they asked us what our pet peeves were.  One of mine was managers who stop by to thank me for my hard work when they have absolutely no idea what I did.

^Your last line there is my entire work existence.

Wait !  Is your work 'statistical factoring and data reconfiguration' ?




Sir Slash

Yeah, my old boss would tell everybody how important to the work I was then quietly ask me, "What's your name again"?

On my first job out of college, the boss came by and said I need to produce a report on which data bus we should use in the project (a government job).  I asked if the report's conclusion should be the data bus we were already buying parts for?  He said I should pick whichever one is best for the job.  Being no dummy, the report chose the bus we were already buying.

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter also captured a stunning view of Perseverance from space. Its photo shows Perseverance hanging from its parachute, the largest ever built for another world, as it plunged through the Martian atmosphere.

Suddenly feeling an urge to run off and fire up Kerbal Space Program to try (:2funny:) to duplicate a skycrane rover mission.

In that last photo, the little white circle is the location of the alien wreckage that they want to scavenge technology from.
