meteorology

[livingdeadpan]

During times like this week, when the forecasters get it [mostly] wrong, people call them out as incompetent. It's mostly in good humor, but I still have to roll my eyes, since I have a meteorology degree and all

since i've had the past 2 days off i've spent them pretty much inside at all times. partly out of laziness and partly out of this snow blizzard hype on the news.

i had no idea you had a meteorology degree.. will you be doing the forecast regularly now that your out with this alleged degree?

[livingdeadpan]

Not at all. I just have the background; the professionals have the data.

You have a meteorology degree? I thought you were in sales or something.

A buddy of mine was doing Meteorology down in College Station - until he realized he doesn't like math. quitter.

Anyways, from an engineering standpoint, I don't like snow.

Sales is about the last thing I'd want to do. I'm not pushy enough. :D

So, you're predicting weather for a flavor syrup making company so they can account for environmental factors while they boil the sugars?

[livingdeadpan]

Nah, running lots of numbers for a dip/pesto company, these days.

At least you'll never have to worry about asses throwing half eatin burritos, hamburgers, Big Gulps or Milkshakes at you while you walk down the street.
