Design Reports are due in about 14 hours.  Several of us are pulling all-nighters.

Earlier today, we were trying to evaluate how much of the natural gas provided we were using as fuel as opposed instead of raw material.  This conversation happened:

"...34 billion standard cubic feet?  Isn't that...more than what we're given?"

"Yeah, about 5 times more."

"So we can't run our process?"

"Shit."

"Shit."

"Shit."

...............

"34 billion scf a day...doesn't that seem too big?"

"A day?  That's for a year."

"Yeah, we're given 7.5 billion scf per day.  It's an insane amount."  [This amounts to a total of about 7% of the entire stream that we're using at all, btw.]

"...Oh.  That's a relief."

We laughed for like half an hour.  I think we annoyed all the other groups.

===============

One of the groups we are sequestered in the back room with just had the following conversation:

"I think one of the autobots should be a Prius.  He actually get smaller when he transforms."

"I wish our Megatrons did that." [They named some of their equipment after Transformers because they are so gigantic.]

"Our half a billion dollar flash tanks?  I wish they transformed into something less expensive."

I may be sleep-deprived, but I think this is terribly funny.
