Hmmm... what to comment... it's really hard when there aren't many words.

However, I don't think I've heard of supporing beams before...

BWAAAA, HAAAAA, HAAA, Anonymous. Not the first time I've heard "You're evil for not doing something productive."

Believe it or not, though, I'm doing what keeps engineers competitive. May Day is the day that keeps me on track with my projects, and consequently, I've geared all my hobbies towards May Day -- it's the only way I actually get them done.

Guess what the first question is when you're interviewed for a desirable engineering job? "What are your hobbies?" That's the first thing Disney engineers are asked, it's the first thing our recruitment guys ask at the Federal Center. Basically it comes down to you don't learn engineering at school. You learn engineering at home working from a small budget on personal projects.

Anyway, all this is to say, "May Day" isn't watching movies or playing computer games, or spending excessive amounts of time hanging out with friends. It's learning valuable engineering skills. My goal is to do as much as possible at this time of my life because if/once I get married, I will no longer have any time for hobbies.

Just as an example, I've proposed and started working on three research projects in the last six months... Jobs I wouldn't have known how to do if it hadn't been for May Day. There are very few projects at work in which I don't employ specific knowledge gained form intensive labor on May Day.

As far as curing cancer, I could see your point of gearing my hobbies towards something useful, but I have yet to find something useful that would fit into my hobby budget or could be used by more than one person.
