The biggest thing that sucks about being an engineer is that with so much technical information, you cannot talk to anyone about work. People's eyes glaze over, roll back into their head, then they pass out when I start in on NAS and Ad-Hoc, etc. Yet, everyone else can talk about their exploits taking care of old people, and dealing with people's mouths as a dentist, etc.
Stories about your co-workers who say "cock" instead of "color" (yeah, i don't know how that works either) are only funny for so long. Or mentioning the ID-10-T problem(yeah remove the dashes), etc. Anecdotal Engineering stories are only really amusing to like 2% of the world's population I'd guess. I mean, I can converse on other subjects as well and do at length, it'd just be nice to have people to talk to about tehnical crap as well.
