I’d like to learn what people in their field think of when they see something good or bad when they’re not working.
I’m a health inspector, so when I am sitting at a table as a customer, I’ll watch people while I’m eating (not purposely staring, but having a look around the place). I recently saw someone swipe their finger under their nose then go to the self serve station to touch about 8 different handles before walking away. Thankfully, I was already done eating.
When I have to walk through the kitchen to the toilets, I take mental notes without meaning to.
As a ex-first responder, unconsciously doing an assessment of someone I’m speaking to (or not) and internally noting how nice and juicy their veins are.
What are some things you come across in your daily life and what do they have you thinking about?
I’m a data analyst/software engineer in rocket engine testing.
I get super excited when I see rocket launches in the news or on the Internet.
“Woah that’s so cool!”
“Holy shit! Hardware I touched is on that!”
“Yooooo. Those engines I tested are on the Moon!”
“Whoops, hope that wasn’t mine”
Sic!
Do you often interface directly with the actual hardware on the rocket, or do you rather work with emulators and then pass the software on to some other person that in turn uploads it to the hardware?
This topic is to freaking fascinating to me! 😆
