• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hey Folks!

Since I know there's a few engineer types out there, I think ya'll would
enjoy this song read on CHRISTIA.  I know some of ya'll ain't got a t.v.
but maybe you can remember the tune to the "Beverly Hillbillies" '60s t.v.
show.  I think ya'll like it:

*                           THE ENGINEERS SONG
*              (SUNG TO THE TUNE OF THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES)
* 
*            Come and listen to a story bout a man named Jed,
*            A poor College Kid barely kept his family fed,
*            But then one day he was talking to a recruiter,
*            He said "They'll pay ya big bucks if ya work on a computer",
*            VAX that is ... CRT's ... Workstations;
* 
*            Well the first thing ya know ol' Jed's an Engineer,
*            The kinfolk said "Jed move away from here",
*            They said "Arizona is the place ya oughta be",
*            So he bought some donuts and moved to Ahwatukee,
*            Intel that is ...  dry heat ... no amusement parks;
* 
*            On his first day at work they stuck him in a cube,
*            Fed him more donuts and sat him at a tube,
*            They said "Your project's late but we know just what to do,
*            Instead of 40 hours, we'll work you fifty-two!"
*            OT that is ... Unpaid ... Mandatory
* 
*            The weeks rolled by and things were looking bad,
*            Some schedules slipped and some managers were mad,
*            They called another meeting and decided on a fix,
*            The answer was simple, "We'll work him sixty-six"
*            Tired that is ... Stressed out ... No social life
* 
*            Months turned into years and his hair was turning gray,
*            Jed worked hard while his life slipped away,
*            Waiting to retire when he turned sixty-four,
*            Instead he got a call and they escorted him out the door,
*            Laid-off that is ... Debriefed ... Unemployed ...
*
