Oooh, close but no cigar, sorry...:-)

Degree in Engineering Physics back in <mumble>, administered by 
Engineering, not Physics Dept., and currently working as a EE in 
electro-optics for a telecom company.  And pretty handily designing 
ultra-low jitter - and cheap - PLLs, too :-)

Yeah, and that's why they're in the lab for weeks, nay, months on end 
hacking their poorly analyzed designs into "existence" whilst I, 
ahem, am comfortably ensconced at the nearest Starbucks, pissing the 
afternoon away.  <yuk yuk>

Make friends?  Sure, no problem, where'd I leave them spare parts?

That's why we get paid the big bucks.  How else am I gonna pay fer 
that overpriced java?

Have a good one,
