Question: is mixing you being clumsy and inspecting jet engines realy the best idea???

Luckily, by the time we do the inspections the kit that we have developed has to be indestructible and idiot-proof, so there is no chance for me to break anything. We do not inspect all the engines. Once the inspection has been developed, another company does the inspecting. We just do the first few engines. After that work becomes quite repetitive.

However, I have broken things in the laboratory when we are developing new inspection methods. I have broken so many things that now, when something is broken, they just assume that it is me! I am getting better though. I tend to think a bit more before I act.
