Al, you sound like you may be in medical sales. Am I close?


No real good or bad...just fun to stereotype. The "typical" engineer according to some of my engineer friends has the slide rule, pocket protectors, avoids human contact, has a Heisenberg may have slept here bumpersticker and discusses how things work "in theory" but has no idea about if it works in the real world.

Yeah, I'm in surgical sales and as my buddys stereotype, all I do is make 1 call a day, go for lunch and take an afternoon nap or goto the pub to work on my expense report \:\) good times.
