Started machining classes today. It is both very fun and very frustrating. Fun because using machine tools like mills and lathes rocks. Frustrating because this is an accelerated course put together specifically for employees of the company I work for. The course is normally taught half days 5 days a week over three months. Our class consists of 8 full day sessions every other Saturday. Frustrating because it is not moving fast enough for me. So I've fallen into my old school habit of jumping from machine to machine seeing how the others are doing. The faster they move, the faster the class can move.
I did learn something today. Old folks and soccer moms are far scarier behind the wheel than a drunk driver. Drunks I can spot from a half mile back. The former do stupid shit for no obvious reason and without warning. They'll be driving along all normal, suddenly slam on their brakes, change lanes, hit the gas, and then fly back across two lanes of traffic to make a turn. Drunks know where they are going and while they may not be holding their lane, they hold the course for fear of looking like they are drunk in front of a cop. You can steer clear of a drunk. How do you steer clear of a mid-lane crisis of intent?

It's the curse of being a free-thinking person in an educational system designed for brain-dead drones.
Had to keep that in mind while doing my home work. Turn off the brain. It really is as easy as it looks. Finished my home work of reading and five pages of questions, due in two weeks, in one hour.
