I engineer material handling systems for my job. I have discovered that many people who work as "true engineers" don't even do any "real" engineering, just kinda BS and get though the day.

I get so damn frustrated with it. People get so caught up in the ROI and gantt chart that they never truly stop to question/detail their fundamental assumptions, define the problem and success parameters thoroughly, or brainstorm/test innovative solutions. All things central to the engineering of these systems.

The truth is that no one knows what the fuck is going on beneath their own roof. I'm a consultant, and part of my job is to sift through gigantic warehouse management databases. None of these people who supposedly run and manage the warehouses have a damn clue what actually goes on, and I've found some pretty egregious shit tucked away in data sets.

Anyways I digress. You're a real engineer, buddy. I promise.
