i can't help but admit it...

this just in: I must be an engineer.

The following thoughts just went through my head while trying to work through these mass balances:
1. this would be easier if I did it on paper first.
2. crap, where's my paper?
3. I'll go get some engineering paper from the supply closet.
4. I can't find the key. This sucks. Now I have to use regular paper.


what?!?
I have now achieved a new level of nerdy patheticness.

I now return you to your slide-rule sporting, calculator-using, pocket-protector wearing, bespectacled programming. yeesh.
