The hardest part of my job is....

Turning a very, very confusing analysis that takes you through 3 different configurations of the same hardware where all of the dimensions come from different surfaces and making it understandable to a layman of why you picked the dimensions you did. Sighs.

This task started last week on paper and thursday/friday I got it into excel...now I'm trying to keep it steeamlined and organized to be easy to understand.

BTW, nubbin is a real word...no matter what the rest of my colleagues think. Its from 1692 and I used it properly in a sentence. So there....that little projection is a nubbin!

"nubbin" is a great word! We always used it to refer to what was left of a dog's docked tail ;-)
