Reviteer

An update of the cad monkey: An employee who uses current BIM ie Building Information Modeling CAD program Revit for an architectural or engineering firm - all day, every day.

Taken from the Walt Disney term 'Imagineer'; it is based on the false notion that Revit/BIM will somehow free the production staff to embark on some nobler adventure -to actually PRACTICE architecture/design- when, in fact, they are still just CAD monkeys; only with more complicated software.

I thought using learning the new Revit platform at my architecture job would free me from my mundane CAD drafting by making the design process more streamlined and accurate, so I could participate in the decision making... but it's just the same job with a differnt toy. But now instead of CAD monkey, you'll have to call me a Reviteer!

cell loop

Where person 'A' makes a cell phone call to person 'B', gets their voice mail, begins to leave a message. Meanwhile person 'B' sees the missed call, phones person 'A' from THEIR cell, and gets person 'A's voice mail, leaving a message to call them back. meanwhile, Person 'A' finishes the message for person 'B', see's that they have missed a call from person 'B' and call them back, only to get the voice mail again, because person 'B' is doing the same... the cycle continues as long as the participants do not pause to let the other person through.

It took Jane and me forever to get out of that cell loop until I finally just put the phone down and waited for her to call.

I'm TRYING to call to get through to them so they don't miss the highway exit, but we're stuck in this damn cell loop!!
