It all started with a rude phone call waking
me up early in the morning. It was from my friend Jake asking
if I wanted to go fishing at his secret spot. I grunted a ‘No.’ and
rolled over to look at the clock, oh man I am going to be late for
work.
As I reach the office all I can think is
‘Oh great another Monday morning.” I sit down in my cubicle and start
up my AutoCAD and log on too my email. I walk over to grab some coffee
and as I sit down I see an email from my boss. Ugh now what does he have me doing
today? I read the email….

KP,
Glad to see you made it into
work today. I need you
to draft up a design really quick for my 2 o’clock
appointment.
- Exterior Walls
21’x24’
- 1 Exterior Door on the south
elevation
- 1 Exterior Door on the west
elevation
- 4 Windows on the east
elevation spaced evenly
- Draw an Interior Wall in the
north east corner creating a 15’x 7’ room
- 2 Interior Doors to the room
on the south and west walls
- Add the Roof make it 44”
overhang with a 6” gutter
Please finish this by lunch
for my review and make sure you use your correct colors on the
layers. We do not want
to repeat the Johnson residence again.
Thanks.
Boss
Great this is turning into a bad
day. Just before lunch
as I am finishing the plan I get a text message from
Jake….
Wish you were
here. Just caught two
papio, both one
lbs. one ounces.
I
fought them for five minutes the first one and thirty two
for the other. Hope you
are having fun. LOL. Also I caught one Oio, he’s five pounds seven ounces. But I cheated
and used fifty pound test line and thirty pound leader
line. I reeled him up
in nine minutes flat.
Catch you later -J.
Ugh what am I doing here! I quickly rush it and sure enough
just before lunch I get another email from the boss.

So I slave through lunch to complete this and
plot out a check set for him to review but somethings wrong! I take it too the Boss and he
looks at it and says’ Hey Bozo you got your layer colors
wrong again. Here
follow this CAD
standard and fix it fast!’ At this point all I could do is
want to get to that secret fishing spot.
