Received today: 10X magnifier, for inspecting scandalously porous metals. (Or MSE letterhead.)
GE clearly knows the way to an engineer’s heart: a complimentary magnifier, a comfortable pair of safety glasses (inadvertently left perched atop one’s head all too often), and the occasional free lunch. Take me, GE — I’m yours!
(It was recommended that I engrave my initials on my new magnifier and attach it to the lanyard that holds my ID badge — a magnifier is that hot of a commodity. So, sadly, the above paragraph is not as sarcastic as you may have initially assumed.)
