What's so special about rocket scientists?

Friday, January 20, 2006

I got to chatting with my co-workers yesterday and the topic of job titles came up. We all have the ambigious job title of Systems Engineer. Yet it turns out that the company doesn't mandate what job title you list on your business card. If your manager approves it, you're golden. One of my buddies in San Bernadino managed to get "Rocket Scientist" seeing as how he designs rockets.

It got me thinking. We design radars missile defense at our office. We have to use our brains to come up with a system to shoot down rockets. It's like we're shooting them down with mind bullets. "That's telekenesis, Kyle!" We have to be even smarter than the rocket scientists.

I bring this up in the office conversation and my co-worker replies, "We're better than rocket scientists. We're 'Anti-rocket Scientists'!"

Thus, I'm officially changing the old adage to "You don't have to be an Anti-rocket Scientist."

    I think that rocket with legs and a circle and line through it ought to be your new trademark... sort of like the BatSymbol, it can be the GOAT Signal!

    How 'bout the power... to move you?

    And doesn't this effectively make you my arch-nemesis?

    Fair enough, Crowley. I can be Wonder Boy.

    You can be young Nasty Man, arch-rival and nemesis of Wonder Boy,
    with powers comparable to Wonder Boy!

    Then we can form a band the likes of which have never been seen!

    Oh, and I guess you have to be Booter's arch-nemesis as well, since he's ALSO a rocket scientist, but I've heard the D's not comfortable being a power trio.

    No matter HOW kickass Booter's drumming is.
