This is the daughter of my oldest daughter who just finished the
politics course in DC.

We atheists know where to educate our kids ;-)

America: Land of the Free, Because of the Brave

Who I hope to meet some day is the 15th century clown that thought it would
be a good idea to dress faculty in black robes and a black hat for an
outdoor graduation in mid-May in the Sacramento Valley tomorrow AND Friday
at 4 in the afternoon.

I never "graduated" from Tulane. I had no enthusiasm for standing
outside in the New Orleans June heat and humidity, in a rented black
robe, for a few hours while fatheads pontificated. I had an
unavoidable "work obligation", which included cool drinks and air
conditioning.

When I came to Motorola, straight out of MIT, Motorola had a training
program that included getting a Master's at ASU on company
time/expense.

So I went, clashed, asked, "When do you plan teaching this course on a
college level", etc. Got credit for a lot of courses I didn't have to
take (taught as undergraduate at MIT).

The only worthwhile thing was my Master's Thesis... first BiFET OpAmp
design, EVER ;-)

What really blows me away is the cost of all that. We just got a notice
from a neighbor's daughter. I think it's called commencement notice or
something. Just to obtain the cards, stationary, professional
photographs and all that costs around $1000 (!) per kid and it is
expected that their parents all spring for the full package. Couldn't
believe it.

Of course, the other extreme isn't so cool either. A few days after I
had received all the required blessings for my masters degree in
engineering the "ceremonial matters" consisted of a bland postcard. It
read "The printout of your engineering degree has been completed. Please
pick it up at the administration building room 123 between 8:00am and
5:00pm". That was it :-(

That's what I want to know, too. She is a real beauty.

I'll tell ya -- if I was a much younger and she was a lot uglier...

I posted a picture of my daughter's training class photo at Congress a
week or so ago.

You can't tell from that photo, because she always wears conservative
clothing, but she has a body to die for ;-)

But all the beauty is inherited from my wife... I've already shown
that I'm butt ugly ;-)

We keep trying to encourage you to dig up some old photos before your
age-related ugliness set in. :-)

Even watched the TV show, "What not to wear?" Doing so makes me glad I work
in a field that evaluates you almost entirely on performance rather than
looks.

Sure. That's why all the white shirts and ties are worn. At least in a lot
of Engineering places.

But perhaps that's covered by "almost".

Some of the big, old school ones, I suppose. I've worked at places up to a
couple thousnd employees and engineers wore pretty much whatever... I was an
intern for a year at IBM some decades back, and even there I never wore a tie!

The president of the company I work at now states as one of his reasons for
starting the company his desire to walk around in sandals whenever he felt
like it. :-) (And he does so, routinely, in summer...)
