Big Week for CAD Teams Across the Globe

A Global Pow-Wow of CAD Minds

Last week, the CAD (Computer-Aided Design) teams at Arcadis had their virtual passports stamped with a whirlwind of excitement. Picture this: a conference call spanning South America, North America, and Europe, with me, the dashing representative from the UK, making CAD dreams a reality.

The schedule said an hour, but the CAD discussion extravaganza morphed into a two-hour symphony of pixels and pixels enthusiasts. The meeting was like a technological United Nations, and I played the role of the charming diplomat navigating the CAD landscape.

Post-conference, the WebEx curtains drew close, and we were handed the golden ticket—an extension until Friday to unravel the CAD mysteries. Questions pinged across borders like well-coordinated CAD vectors. The UK, in a display of digital chivalry, gave a nod to the proposals as the week took its last breath.

CAD Victory and Football Thrills

Shifting gears to the weekend, I played a dual role—CAD maestro by day, and football aficionado by night. The Theatre of Dreams at Old Trafford unfolded, and let me tell you, the first half was more like a CAD glitch. But fear not, the mighty United rose from the CAD ashes, securing a 3-1 victory, leaving QPR pondering the mysteries of the CAD universe.

Half-time brought a blank canvas, but the second half splashed vibrant strokes across the field. A well-crafted goal by QPR pierced our defense, awakening the warriors within United. Out with the old (Ashley Young and Paul Scholes) and in with the new (Anderson and Chicharito)—translated to three glorious goals. United emerged as champions, turning a headache into a masterpiece.

Al Murray and Manchester’s Nightlife: A CAD Detox

Saturday night, the CAD cape was replaced with a comedy cape. Two mates and I ventured to The Lowry Theatre for an evening with the witty Al Murray. Laughter echoed through Manchester, accompanied by a post-show pint pilgrimage. The night was CAD-free, filled with the delightful randomness of life.

Midnight struck, and like a knight in shining armor, Michele swooped in to rescue me from the Manchester streets. A gesture of love that makes my digital heart skip a beat. Al Murray, beers, and a midnight pickup—CAD troubles, consider yourself conquered.

Manchester: A CAD-Free Sunday

Sunday, the day of rest, but not for the CAD curious. Michele, the commander of weekend adventures, rallied the troops for a Manchester shopping spree. A CAD-free zone until I measured a basement for one of Michele’s colleagues—an unexpected CAD cameo.

As Sunday unfolded, Harry’s health improved, and the aroma of slow-cooked beef and ale wafted through the air. A CAD detox in the form of savory Sunday tea, promising a week ahead free from the shackles of CAD conundrums.
