| ...or how about: "Field Service Engineer"?
It's funny, U of M had a college of engineering with schools of
Aeronautical, Chemical, Civil, Mechanical, Architectural, Electrical,
and even Software engineering, but I'll be damned if I could find
a school of "Field Service" Engineering! 8^|

No, that's "Domestic Goddess" = housewife.

| I take exception to "take exception". Isn't it clearer to say
"I disagree" or "If you hadn't said that, I wouldn't be forced
to tear your head off".

| I disagree with your taking exception to "take exception" in favor of
"I disagree." To take exception is an exceptional case of not accepting
without being as disagreeable as to disagree. Indeed it conveys agreement
with exceptions to accepting exteranious excursions into excess. It is not
as clear as "eat death" however.
|
| 649.8 | This is exceptional | KAOFS::S_BROOK | Here today and here again tomorrow | Mon Apr 10 1989 21:42 | 26 |
| To take exception implies a certain amount of taking offense as
well as disagreement.
So to the person who took exception to domestic engineer as cleaner
and not housewife, how about the househusband ? These housepeople
are far more than domestic engineers, they are:
Domestic - managers
- administrators
- transportation co-ordinators
- nutritionists
- educational facilitators
- landscape architects
- part-time sanitary engineers
- sanitation engineers
- part-time home repair contractors
the list goes on and on and on and on and on
Now are you sure the house-person is just a domestic engineer?
So, to all the exception taking and disagreeableness in this note
I can only say two words -
Tough beans!

| Don't have time to copy LOBLO::EF93 note 5.1859 here, but it surely
qualifies.

| Not sure if this is the best note for it, but in an internal document
(source suppressed to protect the guilty) I found this brilliantly
compressed mixture of euphemism and gobbledegook:
...individual contributors are being
impacted by transition ...
