Guys... It's a Writer's joke... today is the first day... and this was the easiest strip of this series to write... because now Scott's gotta create boring hodgepodge problems for this guy to work on.
"His job is solving a hodgepodge of problems that would bore a normal person to death." – Funny, that's what most of my friends and family (other than those who are also engineers) say about my job as an engineer!
