       | This is the most important one to me - I do my job for exactly
       | that reason - it is a job. A business transaction where I get a
       | specific amount of money in exchange for putting time and energy
       | towards their goals. It is amazing how much you can accomplish
       | while not letting the BS get to you once you take the attitude of
       | your work being a daily business transaction.

       | Here's mine:
       | 
       |  _I, <name>, in the presence of these my betters and my equals in
       | my Calling, bind myself upon my Honor and Cold Iron, that, of the
       | best of my knowledge and power, I will not henceforward suffer or
       | pass, or be privy to the passing of, Bad Workmanship or Faulty
       | Material in aught that concerns my works before mankind as an
       | Engineer, or in my dealing with my own Soul before my Maker.
       | 
       | MY TIME I will not refuse; my Thought I will not grudge; my Care
       | I will not deny towards the honour, use, stability and perfection
       | of any works to which I may be called to set my hand.
       | 
       | MY FAIR WAGES for that work I will openly take. My Reputation in
       | my Calling I will honourably guard; but I will in no way go about
       | to compass or wrest judgement or gratifiction from any one with
       | whom I may deal. And further, I will early and warily strive my
       | uttermost against professional jealousy and the belittling of my
       | working-colleagues in any field of their labour.
       | 
       | FOR MY ASSURED FAILURES and derelictions, I ask pardon beforehand
       | of my betters and my equals in my Calling here assembled; praying
       | that in the hour of my temptations, weakness and weariness, the
       | memory of this my Obligation and of the company before whom it
       | was entered into, may return to me to aid, comfort, and
       | restrain._
