I enjoyed your story. Being from automotive manufacturing and from Illinois I thought your story interesting, add a beautiful romance and your story becomes a fantastic tale.
5stars
I bet you wrote all that to get in that last(ish) line: Just like an engineer. You can't measure anything right."
Actually a good place to stop!
Once again, superb. Strong backstories, good plot with excellent character development. Technical where needed, but also human emotions. Wholly believable as always. That your stories consistently maintain this level of excellence makes me always look forward to reading each as they come out. You never fail to satisfy my expectation and high standards . Thank you for your time and effort and consistent quality results.
Just plain cute and enjoyable reading like so many of your other stories. 5 stars and a hearty thank you. Plus it is a pickup for me today as I am staring out my window at a snowfall that is not welcomed. (South shore of Long Island, New York).
Another story that resonates with me. As a technician in mechanical engineering too many Bart's get to middle management. There is a need for more Jeff's and Teresa's and no Bart's :)
Well constructed story, cheers, Andy
Oatttta the paaaark! Searching for ronde stories is always rewarding! Wonderful romance, and as usual, well researched and presented. 5* of course.
Every man dreams of a good woman who somehow appears in his life, and that theme was fulfilled grandly. We guys are mostly blind, and this engineer demonstrated it. BIG kudos to his dad or raising and guiding him. That's what responsible parenting is about. Keep it up. Thanks!
loved the comment on the ring about an engineer not getting the size right. A common complaint from mechanics and techs is that engineers don't have to fix the machines, cars, tractors, etc. It often seems like the difficulty was engineered in from the start and could have been made a lot easier. Great story.
Overplayed the technician versus engineer strata a bit, but great story! (I’m one of those engineers in manufacturing-LOL) 4.7*
I don't know how this author develops expertise in so many different areas and makes it sound like he's been working in that area for a couple of decades, but it sure works. The story itself is a little bit of Fantasyland, but that's what Literotica is all about so the "they lived happily for ever after" ending is OK with me. 5*
Yet again research was impeccable and the story has credibility to those of us that worked for/with the prats who put tickets on themselves (Australian slang) the got stood up. BTW, sure you're an author not a code cutter?
Once again, you show a gift for presenting technical or historical information in such a way it is informative and entertaining. A beautiful story and well written. Totally agree with naughtyandy4u there are too many "Barts" in the work force regardless of the industry.
There are too many Bart’s in this world. I worked as a tech to get through college. Later I became an engineer. I never forgot what is was like to be a tech. You were spot on to a lot of things in industry today. One of the biggest things are people, judged on the piece of paper they bring to the workplace, not for what they know. Sorry, I’ll get off my soapbox. The story was great. Teresa was a perfect tech. I would loved to have her work with me. Her barbs were a little close to home too. 😊
5 stars and thanks for the memories.
Fantastic, great happy ever after, plan Jane was really a beauty, the sex was not over the top. The only thing missing was being able to see Bart leave the building!
Maybe a continuation with a wedding, kids, and more advancement.
If you have a muse give her an extra kiss.
Mr. engineer is going to put a bun in Mrs. Technician's oven..., and she's be daddy's partner. Her name is mommy! Wonderful, 10 stars!
Loved the story. I concur 100% with the statement Fandeboris left 8 days ago. Been there done that. Techs do all the hard work and keep things running just like Nco's keep the military running. Thanks for the great story. 5*****
That was sweet and realistic. No supermodels and twelve inch dicks. Just people who looked and felt real, involved in a romance that feels like it could happen everyday. It's easy to write fantasies. It's hard to write reality and have it feel as good as this 5*
Very nice story. I agree with several of the more recent comments, especially shadracht's ("1 day ago" it says). The people were pretty realistic--except that when Teresa showed up for the funeral, Jeff probably should have figured out she was interested in him. I'll send one other thing as private feedback.

Thanks for writing and posting. Somehow I can't read as fast as you write them.
