I use AutoCAD all the time, and I don't know how.
Which is meant to underscore the complication--I just use it to read. Using it to create is far enough beyond me that I haven't even explored it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That was a pretty fun earthquake to be awake for. It swayed here for a bit.

I use Vectorworks for my CAD work. To me it's much more intuitive than AutoCAD and it still has a bitch of a learning curve. I'm also only using the 2D aspects of these packages. I don't even want to think about the 3D stuff. I mean, I'd love to know them all better, but I haven't had the time to invest in learning the software.

My god, there are a lot of dorks filling out that form.
Yeah, I include myself. But I should be sleeping! I wonder if it would have woken me. I just hadn't gone to bed yet.
It wobbled long enough for me to rule out truck in street, noise in next apartment.. .. .. ..ha! At which point my mother and sister start asking what's up.

The status is NOT quo.
It'd be teaching a) 4 preps and b) advanced classes in AutoCAD and the like.
Um. Wow, Emily. I agree with your wariness. I would hate to see you take this job and be as miserable as you were last year. You need a good teaching year, and that really doesn't sound like the recipe for one.
ita, very glad your home. Hope the next couple of days are at least somewhat bearable.

Hippo Birdies, Aimee!
I'm still in PA, where it's going to be horribly hot, and not in MA where it's supposed to be much nicer. SIGH.
