First off, I am a bit of a geriatric, been doing what I do for forty years in one form or another. Hence I should have had more self-control. I could excuse myself for being travel tired, our day had already been twelve hours by the time we arrived and had opportunity to speak with the client. Also no one seemed to be in control of where this ship was headed and what the goal was. Aside from being blind-sided we were getting to a point where what was being proposed was not doable within the bounds of what the client wanted.

But alas, I did speak out forcefully, I have learned you take the repercussions in life for your own actions. So we'll see if there will be any once we're back in Florida.

As to whay I do, I am somewhat of a glorified draftsman. After you've done that for awhile they call you a designer, specifically a Mechanical Designer. I design, with much help from others, mechanical equipment and process piping systems for refineries, bakeries, chemical plants and any other industry that requires my services.
