All is doom and gloom in the land of Structural-Design-Hell:

Load testing our team's balsa wood (aka disposable chopsticks) structure tomorrow today at 2pm. Point of design is that it's supposed to hold 100 lbs and fail at 300 lbs, be wider than 32" in diameter but not wider than 36", and higher than 12" but not higher than 20".

status report at 12:22am -
+ the not-yet-assembled arched trusses look crap
+ I have saw dust all over myself.
+ Limbs and back aching from working bent double on the studio floor.
+ Accumulated irritation from stupid mistakes made by partners and moi => off the charts.

time for chocolate, and virtual venting on blog.
