Monkey biznass

I've officially turned into a monkey. A CAD monkey, to be more specific.

Working in CAD is pretty maddening. I've heard it before, but it will make you crazy. My latest battle has been with with scaling viewports and editing embedded xrefs. Yes, it is THAT exciting!

At least I am surrounded by people that can help me when I am in a pinch. A huge project, which I got an extension for last week, is due in the next couple days. Therefore, I have assumed my banana task and have gotten behind the monitor with willingness. However, tomorrow is Derby Day, so this monkey may have to go to Tim and Danielle's house to watch the pony race shortly past 2pm.

In other news, life at Wurster is getting difficult to stand. My students are getting flaky so prof and I instituted a student-led review session for all the readings in the course. They are probably cursing at us, but they are still getting off pretty easy. Three people are assigned to each article; in between themselves they are responsible for presenting a 1-2 minute synopsis of the article when we meet next Thursday.

My stepdad's mother is about to die. That's really sad. Poor Bruce. Anyway, there's a lot of issues going around. And presently, I add to the woe as I am still unemployed.

Current Grove Street status: people across my interior block are having a party and you men are yelling expletives. Our downstairs neighbors Christopher and Jeffrey are also moving to San Rafael. I overheard Jeffrey talking about it to the neighbors earlier today.
