Amongst the rough men

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.

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.

Now I have some guy sitting 12 feet from me, munching on peanuts and chit-chatting with his fellows about stuff.

Let's see how it goes. :-)
