v1, the closest I've gotten to commercial is a low-rent IFR rating; in this case, the acronym stands for, "I follow the road."

I dated a girl some time ago whom I wanted to impress. I took her over to Travis AFB to watch the C-130s do touch and goes. She was amazed at how big they were. I modestly noted that I flew a C-150.😉

Hey, congrats. A commercial ticket is damn tough to get. I sweated bullets just getting my private.
 
Hi there,
Well, I’m working abroad, from a life. I’m working in the factory automation field, in a country where is needed extraordinarily much. But, people are so extraordinarily confused about automation which is an adventure each time a job has to be done. I feel like Alice in Wonderland …(Bummerland?).
Let me think about it… no, it’s an adventure when you try to undertake even a little thing. :bawling:
I don’t like to get you sick of my problems, but to make you happier hearing about somebody else having a lot of concerns than you have. 😉
Cheers.

Ahhh fellow road dogg. Don't mind seeing the country, here, there, and everyware(Utah is quite beautiful in June). I still can't figure out why my employer likes to send me to Louisiana and Texas in July and August:hot: , and Michigan and New York in December through March:cold:. Personally I think they got it backwards:scratch1: ...although I don't cut the checks. I only look forward to the times that I can spend at home. BTW, absolutly nothing to do with electronics in any way, but it's a good short term living.

IT?


Accountant? No, I guess this would be rated better.
PCB layouting? No chance, I tend to set up my privat projects in
some crazy 3D-P2P designs.
IT? No, my IT skills are hardly sufficient to login at diyaudio.

...you just need to say: ' I am in electronics...' and she gives you a
:headshot:

One funny thing just one month ago.
I had to go to the doctor, because I fetched a bad cold and an inflammation of the middle ear.
I asked the assistant of the doctor to hand over the bill directly, because I would prefer to pay in cash.
' ...don't want to get the check send to your home adress?'
'No, thanks. I am moving to China. '
She was excited, already starting to flirt....
...had some seconds of nice conversation.... until she heard
that I am in electronics, R&D.
' ...ughs, I expected something interesting!'
....

In fact I discovered such reactions several times before, so her reaction did not surprise me. 😀
And even my actual girl friend does not understand my passion
for electronics.
:whazzat: :whazzat:

Now I am curious. Did nobody else here get such feedback?
 
Hi ChocoHolic,
Nope, the reactions are somewhat better over here. At least when I was a younger, not married guy. :devilr:

Presentation may be your problem. Tell them you are on a design team, or that you design ... whatever it is you design. Deliver dry, you'll get dry.

The passion. Yeah. My wife gave up and just accepts I enjoy to be in the basement for endless hours by myself. Hmmm, I should see a doctor. :xeye:

Choco,

I feel your pain dude.

I actually succeeded in snaring a pretty awesome wife a couple years back on Yahoo personals. I was determined to find a wife by scientific methods rather than the beer goggle/drool factor based methods I had, unsuccessfully, employed in the past.

The funny part is that I remember at least 5 women (in this area)that had specifically posted "NO ENGINEERS" in their ads... of course I hit on 'em anyway!

:headbash:
 
Hey poobah,
She like's them tall, dark and hairy? You did tell her you were a red head, right?

Seriously, I found mine in a coffee shop (yeah, Tim Hortons). I used to talk to her and she was one of the few that could carry a conversation. She still can't figure out why she agreed to go to diner with me (broke her own rule). Personally, I had had enough of women at the time. I didn't want a girlfriend.

So much for that plan, 19 yrs. later.

-Chris
