Need a Dunce Cap Policy? [Funny Bone]

Brian Daly

Brian Daly has had an illustrious career spanning over seven years as a process design engineer. He began working for Fluor Corporation after graduating from the University of Houston in May 2002 doing basic design work on refineries and chemical plants. Then in 2005, he moved on to Catalytic Distillation Technologies working on scaling up pilot plant scale proprietary process technologies to industrial scale process units.

Finally, in 2009, he found himself a spot with the Process Technology Group of Samsung Engineering America, Inc where he's been assisting with the development of process programming tools and preliminary process simulations.

Though he has a good sense of humor he does suffer from delusions of grandeur that he has actual writing talent. Sadly, his dream of a movie featuring chemical engineers that save the world has yet to be realized...

Remember the last time you said, "Hey, no problem!" and regretted it? Or the last time someone told you, "It's easy--won't take you a minute!" Interesting how all those "easy" things are often far from it. Well, now the Tinfoil Dunce Cap Initiative comes to the rescue! Check out the video in the panel to the right and decide for yourself whether your office or lab should adopt this new policy.

Did you hear a qualifying "It'll be easy!" this week?

A "It'll be easy!"? A?! No no, many more than just one. I believe even I uttered a few before I was wisked away to the twilight zone where nothing was quite what it seemed. Easy was hard and hard was hard. I am looking for a suitable cap.
