As evidenced (well apart from my address that Chris erased for internet safety reasons) I just got a letter from PEO (Professional Engineers Ontario) with my name followed by P.Eng. I have yet to figure out what good this’ll do apart from having a pretty plaque to hang on my cubicle wall.

On a related note, I have become more professional by purchasing a watch.

While this seems, and indeed is, trivial to most people, it is a big deal to me. The last time I wore a watch was so long ago the watch was covered in construction tape and had pseudo-ideological slogans written on it.
