Working in construction these days requires many interactions with engineers. You can’t swing a dead cat on a construction site without hitting an engineer. Though I wouldn’t want to hit an engineer, because they are universally loved and respected on construction sites. So the quote below surprised me.

The image was posted on an Imgur thread and had lots of comments. Most of the comments just agreed with the sentiment, while some razzed lawyers (Why do male attorneys usually wear tight shirt collars and ties? It keeps their foreskins from creeping up and covering their faces).

I liked this comment: Probably because arguments allow us to locate flaws and eliminate them, or come up with superior alternatives.

But thought this one was the truest: It’s not so much that we like arguing… It’s just that we like being right.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and the satisfaction of being right. Just please look for that satisfaction at work and not with your spouse. Rule to live by: if you have to be a dick, do it at work and not at home.
