A couple of "poopy" engineers I've met were very good at their job, people I respected.
I've also met one or two that had to be reminded to breathe or they would turn blue.

I'm back being an end user now as opposed to being a vendor so I don't have to deal with external customers anymore. Less stressful but lots more business politics.

I'm responsible for a machine shop/repair shop, a weld shop, and a transportation department garage now, here's a picture of the machine shop:



Here's a picture of a centrifugal barrel compressor we overhauled recently. 4000 hp motor to spin it, and it turns at around 13,000 rpm pumping hydrogen at 2000# discharge
