When a crisis attacks

Work is not always fun; it usually comes with stress and pressure. Crises come up and that is the nature of engineering. It is our job to solve the problems that arise. I have realized that you should not get upset if you encounter an issue at work, whether large or small, since the world is not a perfect place. Things happen. People are looking to see how you deal with the situation. Do you stay calm and focused, or do you have a nervous breakdown? What is your plan of action to find a solution? Can you find the solution within a reasonable amount of time while presenting the evidence to justify it? All of these things should be considered, and you should try to deal with the problem rationally while respecting those people on your team.

Today I celebrate my two year anniversary at my first engineering job, how exciting!
