Just one of those Days I guess. Unfortunately for me I was trapped in the computer lab for 8 straight hours yesterday modeling the results of wind tunnel experiments. My pride and joy is pictured above. My "prototype", well a cross section (I'll let you decide the view) of my prototype. And finally success, At a certain speed and a certain air density it began to develop the dreaded Von Karman Vortices. Essentially, the alternating shedding of vortices due to an alternating build up of fluid pressure on the object.

Regardless, modeling this took forever. The detail required had been strictly specified so I slaved away at the computer calculating and inputting my variables and hit enter. Then, much like my first days back at DFO, I let my antique lab computer rumble on through the calculations.

So as the timer started the count down I sat back from the computer and stretched. I flicked through the songs on my ipod shuffle and looked to my left. There, cramming a half moon in her face was this Goth chick. "Interesting" I thought. There aren't any chicks in engineering as it is, and now this? But then I rolled back through my mind, I'd never seen her before. Ah well, St. Fx, Acadia and St. Mary's had dumped their most intelligent into our program now, perhaps she was from there, didn't go to the mixers and was in a different discipline. A combination of any of those would surely have made her foreign to me.

She finished gobbling the half moon and got back to browsing on her computer. "Dolly online."

"Hmm" I thought again. "Goth chick, reading through a Dolly Pardon fansite. Oook. What's going on to my right."

So I turned and looked around. The Asian Guy was still there, a dude in electrical. But now two of his friends (both Asian were gathered around). On the almost completely obscured computer screen was... Bang! A pair of Asian Titties. "F*ck sake" I muttered, to low to be heard. But they kept flicking through their Firday Afternoon Computer Lab Porn.

I looked around, looking for someone I knew to gesture to. Nobody. I looked back to my right. The Goth Chick.....And... Dolly Pardon Titties on the screen.

What the f*ck! I felt like screaming.... and wow... Dolly's really got quite the set.

Suddenly my model finished.

"Yes!"

I clicked save. Move my file to the ftp, Grabbed my stuff, shut down my account and got the hell out of there. Only to recount the episode later over many many Stellas.

No more Friday's in the Computer lab.
