About this title

Synopsis

If "Dilbert" worked as a process engineer, this is the kind of stuff he would tell you about. Here's an insider's collection of original satires and jokes from the men and women behind the tanks and valves and digital readouts.

Incompetent bosses, insecure jobs, convoluted procedures, unrealistic expectations, and dumb mistakes-it's all here, in living black and white. Longtime process control expert Greg McMillan has collaborated with cartoonist Ted Williams and friends to tell you about bad start-ups, Y2K problems, and just plain old everyday plant floor craziness.

Here too is "From the Control Room"-a hilarious catalog of malapropisms and verbal flubs by those most eloquent of professionals, control room operators and engineers. Throw in a few of McMillan's favorite lists and jokes from earlier books, such as "The Top Ten Terrifying Thoughts of Control Engineers, Just Before they Fall Asleep," and you've got a collection of silliness and fun that will tickle the funny bone of anybody in the know.
