Did you at least manage to finish the pm you were writing once you woke up ☺️😂
I actually single finger typed it in between passing out and waking up last night. I'd wake up and think "oh crap" type some more, out again, woke up type some more. I woke up still in the PM and did send it, but I had to read it because I don't remember finishing it. I must have been sleepy lol. It made sense, so all good 😁

The best ones are when typing something whilst sleepy and nodding off, only to read it again when awake and wonder what drugs you must of been on whilst typing it 😂
 
For me it's not drugs. It's momentary explosions of not caring what I write :LOL:
Ha ha yeah I didn’t actually mean drugs were taken, just that it often reads like they were 😂 I’m often the same at work, come afternoon when I may start feeling a little drowsy I’ll be doing my work (electrical drawings on a computer) and then suddenly something will rouse me and I look at the screen and have no idea what I’d been drawing 😂

I love trying to read electrical schematics to see if I can figure them out. I had to walk around a plant once and follow the potable water system and map it out. They didn't have any and couldn't figure out why they were losing pressure. I took a blank sheet and just drew lines, connections etc.. Having to get on the industrial size tanks freaked me out a bit. You don't realize how big they are. Then I had to transfer my drawing to a program. That was pretty cool.

Yeah it can be quite rewarding when at the end you have something legible that others can follow and understand, I sometimes have to go in the electrical panels to create a drawing of where everything is wired up, and I’d guess you’d of used a similar program I use, AutoCAD ☺️

It wasn't AutoCAD but a program they had. I believe at the time they were planning to switch over to it. I used that in college for many projects. I never mastered it, but watching the magic of what many friends created was pretty cool. I have a dubbed copy of it somewhere that they gave us in college. It was the same except everything you printed wasn't usable because of Sample largely written across it. You could take it back to the ME Comp Lab and use the drawing on the real program and continue to work from it though.

It is a great bit of kit, everything I do is in 2D but those that do the 3D stuff look awesome, in my old job I did drawings for the airports and one of the mechanical guys did a 3D drawing of the massive baggage hall at Heathrow and you could go in to it and literally walk around seeing how everything would be if you were in the hall itself

Nice! The friends I had were going into Automotive, so they did 3D cars. Incredible. Every time I would see them in the lab they would be adding on. The first year I met them they had just the frame and basic parts, but every time they added to it a more intricate part. By the end of my 4 years, they had so much detail. I believe the guy I'm talking about ended up going to Porsche. He had such a passion though. They were lucky to get him

It must be great to have all that knowledge to create all that stuff. The best thing I’d be able to do that wasn’t work related with my skills is planning if things would fit it a room if you were doing floor plans 😂

He would go to the lab just to play with this. He didn't have it for an assignment. We only had one class on it, so I could only do 2D as well. I believe I once was able to create a very basic 3D. He wanted to learn the program and he was determined. Since he loved cars, he decided to start there during our first year when he found out about the lab. Kid in a candy store. He would go and work on the same car perfecting it and just kept teaching himself.
