How come I always have to initiate conversations with people?

Why is it that the people I believe SHOULD want to speak with me, never take that first step.

Explain this

Thinking of winter
Your name is the splinter inside me
While I wait
And I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you

Getting my ass handed to me at work, I make a thousand mistakes, some small, most big. I think it is too early to pass my judgement on the engineering field as of yet.

I just realized, this blog is now about two years old. Half way through my engineering education. I will have to make a post sometime soon to sum up some things I have learned, both about myself and life i.e. not much.

Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

Started new job. Everyone is a guy, I wake up at 5:00AM, I work in an office. Nothing I learned in school is ANY GOOD except for maybe terminology, e.g. caisson wall.

As of tomorrow I will begin designing my first piece of engineering work. Enwave provides heating and cooling solutions for the current Women's college hospital and will do so for the new one I am working on. Two pipes, one 10 inches in diameter and one 5 will run into the building. The former will carry condensed steam and cold water, the latter will carry only cold water.

The large pipe will contract and expand due to the fact that cold water and hot steam will run through it at various times. I am required to design the sleeve through which this pipe of variable diameter and shape will pass. The pipe also curves through this sleeve further adding to the confusion. Oh and of course, none of the drawings are to scale. Of course.

A structural engineer will sign off on my work if it's good to go. Fingers crossed.

There goes my hero.
Watch as he goes.
There goes my hero.
He's ordinary

Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards...
You know something's left
And we're all allowed
To dream of the next
Oh, ohh the next, time we touch...

You don't have to stray
Two oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring...
The sea will rise...
Please stand by the shore...
Oh, oh, oh, I will be...
I will be there once more...
