I continue to be amazed by what others see in me. I’ve just been keeping my head down, doing what needs to get done. Dave pulled me in as an insider (Round Table) over at Eng-Tips, which I haven’t been to lately. Guess I should check that out. Then I got a Vice-Presidents award with a nice bonus. Now Doug has invited me here. Unfortunately my work IT is blocking this site.
My employer classifies me as ElectroMechanical; I’m a jack of all trades and master of none on large Navy generators.
I’ll just keep on working and helping where I can until I retire in the next few years.
Dik, it felt like about two years ago - people started getting mean and posting rude or inappropriate things, and not giving a d*mn who they hurt by that. It was grew more argumentative and chest-pounding so I walked away, too. Although it almost feels like it was a reflection of society’s behavior in that time, too. Rudeness unleashed.
Only been there a couple of times in the last while (I don’t know how long it’s been), but, actually posed a note yesterday. Definitely not the same site; I somehow missed the nastiness.
The level of respect accorded to contributors there has definitely changed. It almost feels as though you are on Facebook the way some people treat you.
