Iron Ring
Iron Ring is tonight. This is when I truly, officially become an Engineer (well, not really.. need to pass a licensing exam to be able to legally call myself a professional Engineer, but who's nitpicking details?).
Not really sure what to expect of the ceremony itself - as it was presented to us by the Iron Ring people (henceforth, I'll call them "Ring Wraiths", even though that's not their official title, because I like that better.. and yes, the reference to Lord of the Rings is intentional), it seems almost like a cult thing:
- You must not record/take pictures/etc. at the ceremony
- You must not discuss the details of the ceremony with anyone who is not "obligated" (the ring wraith's fancy term for someone they've given a ring to..)
- You cannot bring friends/family to the ceremony, unless they are obligated Engineers and have been working as an Engineer for at least four years.. and then, you can only invite one person.
- It's supposedly a powerful spiritual experience for some.
So what does the ceremony involve? I have no clue, but I'm looking forward to finding out.
