Week 3 - Day 5

So, was back at work this morning, since my MC was only for ONE DAY! i couldn't have slept in anymore now could i?? didn't dare drive to work, as i was still in this "blur" stage... so mom was driver for the day.

Got in, and learnt a new thing... yup, got to learn how to fix the same old fixture but now, instead of using a google clamp, my supervisor told me to use a pump instead, which kinda made things more complicated as a pump needed more stuff. Oh ya, and before that, he taught me that we could actually design any parts to be as small as possible so long as the machine is able to cut/ produce the final product easily. He said that smaller parts uses less material, meaning environmental friendly... but it depends on how the customer would want the final product to be. He even taught me how to use a new function in solid works, i'm not sure what the name is, but it actually calculates weather your design will be able to withstand the force of your components/ motor movement parts. Cool huh?? It tells you where the most strain will occur according to the force you apply to it!! It even produces an animation to see how the bending will be like, and a colour chat to see where the highest strain level is!! Finally... materials all over again, and it just has to show back up when i threw everything out of my brain.

But anyway, he finished teaching about the pump quite early today, i assembled every single component in the right order, (finally no BIG HUGE redoing mistakes.. XD Improvement i see here!) and because mom was driver for the day... she got herself stuck in a traffic jam for 30 min!!! For the first time i actually was the 3rd last person to leave the office!! even my supervisor left!! OH GOD!! i was so scared that i would have been the last one.. and worst thing was that my supervisor didn't really threw me any work at all!! I had to wait for new instructions the next day in order to complete my task.. and for once i could have left on time!! My mom had to show up LATE!! good grief!
