Over the weekend, we got a big influx of folks from a field site into the office, moving into the wing I’m in. It’s going to be interesting — a much more boisterous group, a lot more field-oriented \/ blue collar (even when not) \/ rough-and-tumble jeans-wearing crew, coming into the office with their lunch boxes.<\/p>\n
I’ve actually never quite been so close to the real “engineering” action this way. My office has usually been amongst the support groups — Accounting, IT, etc. Even with my most recent move, the group I was among was estimators and project management types … and the cube opposite my door was empty.<\/p>\n
Now I have some guy sitting 12 feet from me, munching on peanuts and chit-chatting with his fellows about stuff.<\/p>\n
