Not taking what seriously? That I don't like my job?

"I really like my job."

There's no such thing. A job is a job is a job.
Plus, I don't see any snow, skis or girls in the picture of your workplace...

How could a Magyar be an engineer... and ....Have to look them up....were they engaged with the Romans.....or...Teutonic knights? Member something about them but can't place them in the memory banks....enlighten me....TM

Magyars are what we call Hungarians. They call themselves Magyars. They've been around a long time. Their accent sounds German/Austrian, but the language (also called Magyar) is closest to Finnish. Some say they are the descendants of Attila the Hun.

This particular Magyar is not an engineer though, he's a tool maker (retired now) and a good friend of mine. There are Magyar engineers though

Actually it's not. Uralic is considered it's own branch (or tree rather).

I like this graphic because it's not only a cool piece of art, but it's also educational:

Whoa. They look much better in aprons than I do. I wish they were carrying liters of beer though
