Yeah, you like that, you filthy billet tart?

It looks like a Something.
I remember my Mum complaining about the smell of cutting fluid when I was in the first year of my apprenticeship. That was just on some very basic turning and milling.

I make no comment about your mum's complaining (though if that stuff smells like gear oil, I totally get it. I wouldn't have wanted to do your laundry either). But it would've been most puissant to say, "You smell that? That's the smell of the money I'm about to make."

As a side note, my (second step-)mum and my dad were enormously supportive of me with hardware and software when I decided I liked IT. Not rich at the time so we're not talking about ÂŁ5K PCs, but if I needed something, I got it. Think "processor and memory upgrades" rather than "the best SoundBlaster you can buy". And here I am.

They did the same for my brother, and he's an incredibly skilled network engineer living in Seattle and making bank. Funny how we managed to take different paths, but still found the same happiness.

Okay, I'm done rambling now. Have a great evening!
