Shitshow Characters: The Wing Nut

To continue out Shitshow Character series, this week we present the Wing Nut:

The Wing Nut – An engineer who knows everything about airplanes. He usually has a Masters degree in Aerospace Engineering, goes to every single air show in a 400-mi radius, and has a pilot's license. He stays up-to-date on aerospace news by reading all the relevant trade magazines and online blogs, mostly on company time. Because of this time-consuming obsession, he rarely gets his actually assignments done on time. Instead, he maintains his job security by forwarding anything he finds interesting (news, upcoming air shows, cool photos, etc.) to his manager, who then forwards these emails to the rest of the engineers, as if they were his own. The Wing Nut is to be envied because he doesn't work hard, has good job security, and most importantly, he actually loves his job.

Because the rest of us have to work harder to pick up the Wing Nut's slack, I throw rocks.
