I think I've stated this often enough. I will NEVER venture into the chemical processing field after graduation. I will work my ass off other jobs, but not a job that requires me to look at pipes, pumps, heat exchangers and so on. I can never look at pipes the same way anymore anyway. 

And here I am, miserably attempting to write something into my assignment reports, and nothing gets in or out of my brain at the moment. How demoralizing. 

Everyone's almost done too. All the more demoralizing. 

I really hate writing a report about a particular equipment or system. There's only so much you can put in, no opinions at all. Do people really enjoy writing them? 

What joy do engineers find in their job? The noise of compressors? The alarms of the DCS? The humming of a pump? Writing 20-page reports on equipment failure?

I seriously can't see any joy in that. 

Then again, can I say the same thing for an accounting job? Well, Mum becomes very enthusiastic when she starts explaining in accounting terms to lil' bro. And that's an understatement. It's just numbers and balancing!
