“So, how was the silo, Charles?”
“Fine, John…as usual.”
“Y’know, most of us quality supervision engineers make up something to make up a story about ourselves as we go around doing our work.”
“Yeah, I know John.”
“Have you tried it yet? It sure makes the job a lot more interesting.”
“Nope, haven’t found a reason. Seems kind of silly to me.”
I walked away from my fellow expeditioner, John, and on to my next dangerous mission. It was so sad that John missed out on all the excitement of working in the field.
