It's a Saturday, and I had a couple minutes to kill so I made up my list, please add your own, I can't wait to see what you all come up with!
1. When you watch shows like “How It’s Made” you think to yourself “I could’ve done that way better”.
2. When watching the aforementioned TV program, you get excited to show someone else a piece of hardware you work with, and try in vain to explain while the DVR is running in slow motion.
3. You realize when you try to explain how you program a PLC to someone outside of your career field, they ultimately say “So you just say if this is on and that’s off, you turn this on?? Sounds pretty easy.” And you just get mad.
4. You want to know what servos the robots in iRobot were running on.
5. You fall asleep with a question about how to pull off a piece of programming in your head, and wake up in the middle of the night with the answer.
6. You’ve asked your boss for OT because while technically sleeping, your subconscious is doing work, therefore should be
compensated accordingly.
7. If you aren’t working out programming while you sleep, your dreams are consumed by nightmares of someone removing the battery and then turning off the circuit breaker.
8. You think about all the ways your house would be tricked out if only your boss would let you have a PLC and a couple of I/O cards.
9. You see this size of a hard drive, and the size of the biggest program you’ve worked on, and you realize that computer software programmers must be really inefficient.
10.When you go into a new plant, and they ask you if you’re wearing bracelets, watches, or any loose fitting clothing, you look at him like he just asked you if you were on fire, because you haven’t been able to wear a watch in 7 years.
