Private = efficient. 


I worked for was employed by IDiOT. I know how shit works. 

Or doesn't.

We have a one person crew on our sites. They don't need 3 babysitters to tell the backhoe operating engineer worker to back the F off.

We often see city crews with one dude digging and 5-6-7 dudes watching, usually on the cells.

In France, we'd come across stretches of freeway with a lane blocked off and nobody anywhere in sight, so I told the wife they were invisible workers.

I was a drafter at IDiOT. I started in what would have been my senior year of HS.

Old dudes used to pat me on the back and tell me to slow down. What I was working on (on a Monday) needed to last until Friday. What a mess.

I'll have to look those two up
It's typically one class.  At UT, it was called "Matrices and Linear Algebra."

Ah, here it is.  It's now called "Linear Algebra and Matrix Theory".  M341.  Which means Math Department, 3 hours per week, in the "4" series which is sophomore/junior level stuff.  The 1 just means there might be other Math 34X classes that come afterward.

I really enjoyed it.  Matrices, Eigenvalues, Eigenvectors.  Interesting ways to simplify complex problems.  It's related to the same kind of transforms I loved (Fourier transforms, Laplace transforms) because they turned complicated differential equations into simple algebra ones.

after college a few years, I was drafting in a large engineering dept.  The county drafting position came open after a retirement.  The engineer offered me the position and was shocked and upset when I didn't accept.
I didn't want to slow play my career away and make average at best salary.
I recommended a friend that worked next to me in the dept.  That was over 30 years ago.  Bob is still there.  Good for Bob.  I'm sure his IPERs account is full and he will retire comfortably some day
