Went to school with someone who is in management at CP. Everyone there management exempt is trained to drive the trains as a union busting tactic and they all get on the rails to maintain competency periodically.

Sounded awesome haha.

Speaking of engineer types

Engineers who can't explain the math

A friend's been trying to help me with a project - involves a strut braced beam. This shear and bending moment diagram makes my head hurt and doesnt explain a thing to me.

I guess a portapotty gets in the way of your bread winning by cleaning toilets...
