V4 Nightmares

I really don't want to complain about work, but today was probably the most frustrating day I've had so far. Let me just lay it out on the table. I was trained in CATIA V5 which is a Windows based CAD software used for modeling. I feel comfortable with it. I can model, make drawings, and I like it. Well, my program is in CATIA V4, a Unix based CAD software you would have thought came from the 1960's. CATIA V4 is "on it's way out" or so they keep saying. Well, Subaru is doing this entire project in CATIA V4. Did I mention this project lasts until 2010? On it's way out in 3 years maybe...

I do have some positive things to say though. I like the people and they're willing to help, I just feel very unproductive compared to others because of this CAD language barrier and I hate constantly asking people to "do this" and "do that" for me. I need to to do it myself to understand it. I'm ready for the weekend, I need a break.

Tonight was really nice though because there was a HUGE storm with blinding rain and lightning and a tornado warning. It was fun to watch the storm after today.

I do like my job though, I do. We all just have "one of those days" and today was one of them. Tomorrow is a new one.
