Can Dan increase his ∆x without increasing his protein intake?

I don't think so.

Not much going on in these parts. Stumbling my way through forces for a pre-test tomorrow. My understanding is pretty slim so I don't expect to do well.

An interesting situation occured yesterday. I had a freelance design gig about 2 years ago for this couple, designing a major addition and renovation for their house. I finished working for them 18 months ago because they contracted me for design work only, not structural drawings. This was very clear in the beginning but became a point of stress later on in the relationship. What can I do? I'm not an architect. Anyway, they've been slow to get things started & I've been completely wrapped up in my own life for the last 12 months. I get a call on Sunday morning that there's a major problem with the drawings I've given them & that if I don't make the time to resolve it, they'll sue me, basically. Totally awesome! Anyway, turns out this boob-of-an-architect they're working with to complete structural drawings for them has totally screwed up the drawings somehow - no fault of mine. It was an easy fix - I just emailed the file again. But seriously though, the dude should know how to work with CAD files. I think he's a bit of a schiester & trying to get more $$$ out of them. Stupid ass. Anyway, I've learned my lesson for real - though I already had before it got to this point. I'm not working with folks who can't build it themselves.

Other than that, I'm putting the finishing touches on a game that I will play with the new crew at work tomorrow - to review everthing they've learned thus far. We'll see how it goes. Thank God Dan's funny, cuz I sure ain't. Physics tutor & script-writer extraordinaire, my spouse.
