April Fools! I am in fact, still alive!

It's been a long while since I last posted since I've been spending a lot of time studying for my exam and working countless hours into the night. Here is a QUICK recap of what's been going on in the motoengineer world!

THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING EXAM IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!

The exam date is....drum roll

FRIDAY THE 13TH!

How unlucky is that? Is it US thing? You know what? Even if it wasn't, it doesn't matter because we are in the US and the exam is only administered in the US! Those guys over at the NCEES (Exam Board) have on seriously defunct humor bone. I'm sure there are hundreds of prospective engineers out there literally doing spiritual things to cleanse as much bad juju before the exam as they can.

WORK LIFE BALANCE

The work life balance has gotten quite interesting lately. I had a rather explosive argument with the bosses 2 weeks back that started off with a surprise meeting with the bosses to "discuss things". The unexpected meeting combined with my irritability as of late resulted in me getting in a senior staff members face- who happens to have significant influence on whether or not I get promoted. A lack of sleep, and a low potential for reward and a low effort to outcome all worked together to make this thing happen. I wasn't fired and

STEEM SHIRT PROJECT STILL UNDERWAY

I had a bit of an email exchange with the supplier and they sent me another batch of T shirts that fixed the problem but created another. I'll have an update soon with a photo comparison . For the shirts that I do have, there has been a concern with the thin lines that were printed, so I've been putting the graphic under wash cycles, the gym and just doing my best to abuse the shirt.

Just a refresher of the original version and a link to the first run of samples: STEEM SHIRT GIVE AWAY! SAMPLES ARE IN.

Tomorrow, I'll post a photo update of the shirts!

Well, sound rather stressful then anything else, reading your post it feels like you are young and self-confident that is the time when we see the potential of something and we would like to convince people about something that those people already created their opinion about. With time you will get adopted to such situation and will learn the best way how to deal with such people. It is difficult when to have an argument but you should weigh if it is worth to put everything on this card and to change you future. But of course, you know best what to do. Just be patient and go to your aim trying to avoid obstacles.

I love the prints on your shirt, recently I decided to buy shirt or cloths but with embroidering I love the texture and the colors, it might be more expensive but looks great.

There is an obvious no go zone when it comes to work behavior and for some people I definitely crossed the line (personally that is). Ultimately the problem was that I let myself get frustrated to the point where it bothered me.

I'm not sure if Im bothered because I care, or I'm bothered because I feel like I'm not being treated fairly. Or, I'm just being a whiney brat. It's one, the other or all three!

13 is my lucky number so don't worry, you will pass the exam!
The link does not work btw

ha! how did 13 become a lucky number? It doesn't matter to me! I dont even know where the unluckyness comes from!

Thanks for noticing the broken link! I just updated it!

People always cared because friday the 13 but I did not really care about it. And not thinking bad about it made my fridays good days so I decided, that 13 will be my lucky number. Works for me

Thats what they say in chinese culture. the 4th floor, 4th day, 4th anything is bad luck because the way you say "four" in chinese, is nearly identical to the way you say "dead"!

Stay strong.

For Greek people it’s Tuesday the thirteenth. So be Greek during your exam and you have nothing to worry bout. (As long as you studied).

Shirts looks sweet.

I wore it all Saturday and it was comfy. I’ll help with the durability experiment too. I think I want a V-neck.

I’m going to post my first semi technical post soon. Stay tuned.

STEEM on !

I was thinking about a V neck, but I personally never wear V necks with graphics. It's sort of weird to me. How was the shirt in heat? id love to have a thinner shirt option for summer weight. This was actually the thinnest shirt I could get through the supplier.

How do I become greek for that day? Do I show up to the exam late and eat a lot of food afterwords? lol

Coffee [and cigarettes]. Question everything. Complain it as you’re questioning it. Laugh when everyone else is crying. And win against the odds.

I can do everything but the cigarettes. Cigarettes are bad for you aren't they? (is that a good example of complaining it like your questioning it?lol)

Hahaha I don’t smoke I wouldn’t know. That was some weak ass complaining though... ;)

Why should I smoke? It smells bad and makes me cough. It’s annoying to have to go outside and it’s expensive. Why do you smoke? To look cool? I got over that when I was twelve. What’s your problem?

thats natural talent right here. only a true greek could make it seem that effortlessly

Thank you sir. I’m blushing behind my beard.

I need to recharge my SP faster. Do you have a guy??

It wasn’t hot enough to tell as I was still wearing layers.

Wow. Please study well for your professional exams. I like the idea that you are combining Structures with Steemit.

What do the exam look like? ns=3m+1-3j. Degree of statical indeterminacy?
