I am ex-aerospace engineer, and may go back eventually.Socially awkward? Yeah, on and off again. Learned to live with it.A fine combination of introvert and extrovert.Turn it on and turn it off.

But when I'm new I just kinda sit in the corner hoping someone will come talk to me. That's basically what I did at Dyno Day this year; that was my first OR event.

EvilTwin Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I'm starting to see a trend here, perhaps a lot of people who own motorcycles are engineers b/c one we can afford them, and two we have a lot of pent of social anxiety which we need to take out on the road.

ReconRat Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 SAEM = Socially Awkward Engineers on Motorcycles? Is this a new social club? Are we allowed to do wheelies? I won't join unless I can keep my little wheelies...or maybe that should be SAE MC... (geek j/k) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilTwin Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Wheelies are allowed only if you understand the physics behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to be a fighter jock, US Navy preferably. They turned me down when I tried to enlisted. Eyesight not perfect enough. That's the extrovert part speaking.So it's the other way around, I wanted to be an engineer because it would let me understand motorcycles, automotive, and aviation. That's the introvert part speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilTwin Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 You get two or more of us in a room and the convo always goes down hill; before you know it we're using physics to explain why squids kill themselves and using words no one else understands.

Disclaimer Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 @Evil - Yes, I was crammed into the end of the bar with Kosmo.7 engineers... we could start a club, but none of us would talk in it.I did shake Dave's hand, and it was good meeting Recon - I could tell I was 'related' to him in some way. F*(kin' engineers.Wrillo though, he's got mad game - he can't be an enginerd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xyloft Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 man, if I knew there was a club for begin a socially akward engineer, I would have gone out there and not introduced myself to anyone. . . (although i'm a comp sci nerd. same math - different focuses). wish I could have made it though, sounds like it was fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
