Two year anniversary
YAY!!! I've officially made it a whole two years at my current employer. As I mentioned in my first post, I work for a major American firearms manufacturer. So far it's been a prett cool job and I've learned a great deal about surface modelling in Solidworks(for an example of what I do, see the picture of the stock model that I've made. This one will probably never be made so I guess it's OK to post it), as well as some of the ins and outs of plastic molding. I've become pretty decent at solid modeling. I'm definitely the best here(the truth is that surface modeling in Solidworks is a terribly tedious thing to do and I am the only one at here that has been subjected to this torture). Hopefully this will pay off in the future if this company suffers a similar fate to Winchester, which is closing its doors very soon. I can apply what I've learned here to product design elsewhere as well, so I should be all set. One more year and this will be the longest I've ever worked for a company. I've only been out a college for five years though, so its not like I'm a job-hopper or anything. Just three more years and my 401k is vested. I guess that's something to shoot for.
