Actual work conversation April 14th 2011

Engineer: it's fixed and we're ready to turn it on.

Me: Did you level the cylinders perfectly?

Engineer: Do you think I'm stupid?

Me: you're an engineer, right?

Engineer: yes.

Me: so you're familiar with the scientific method?

Engineer: of course.

Me: well, based on initial data I've constructed a hypothesis. I'll continue to test that hypothesis. Then I'll analyze that data and draw a conclusion and communicate to you the results. But right now, all indications of my scientific analysis indicate that yes, you're stupid.

Engineer: you're such an asshole.

Me: thank you. So did you level those cylinders or not?
