Amazing Model

This is freaking amazing. I wish I could work on something of this scale.

S&S Screamin Swing CAD Model

Today I decided to attempt to model an S&S Screamin Swing thrill ride in CATIA V5 R19. Here are two pictures and the 3D xml of what I made today. It's a little rough around the edges but you get the idea. I made up all of the dimensions since I have no idea what they actually are. I think the scale actually came out quite well. Not as exciting as a roller coaster but the file size is much smaller! You can see some of my other creations at Campus3ds website. Enjoy.

Annoying Work Emails

At work I recently received an email from the V.P. of Human Resources, sent to all employees world-wide, about how everyone in the company should be getting new insurance cards in the mail. Well, this morning I find an email in my inbox that just irritates me. First of all, this guy hits ‘reply all’ instead of just 'reply' so everyone can read this message:

Good Morning,
i will be going to the dentist tomorrow, and have not received a new Anthem card yet. if i do not receive it today in the mail, do i give the dentist the number (--------), since i may not have a new card?

thanks,
------

Wow. People write emails like that? And to the V.P. of HR? You can’t even take the time to capitalize your freaking I’s? This is just sad and really annoys me. He also included his number for everyone to see which I have blanked out here.Are people really that lazy nowadays? I suppose it’s not that really a big deal but still, little things like that just annoy and irritate the crap out of me. Take some pride man and do the thing right, especially when a big wig, let alone everyone in the company, is going to read it. Geez.

Magic Kingdom Trip Report

My twin sister and I decided to take advantage of Disney’s free admission on your birthday promotion this year. We registered online and took our printed forms to the guest services office outside of the park. We presented our driver’s license and we each received a complimentary park ticket and happy birthday pin. Every cast member we saw that day wished us a happy birthday. We also saw many other people in the park not only wearing birthday pins but celebrating other occasions like first visit to Disney World, just married, anniversary, etc.
