About "Waiting for Revit"

This "About" page is really just a copy of my first post - it was just such a good explanation of the blog's intent that I wanted it easily accessible so that when I actually get more posts it won't be so hard to find. Enjoy!

PS - I am off the "new guy" computer now, and have an even more powerful computer, so I'm not spending quite as much time waiting for Revit, but none-the-less, it still happens, it's just easier to do other things while I wait now.

I had been wanting to start a blog for a while about my experiences as an architecture intern, and my new job (after nearly a year of under-employment) gave me the final inspiration I needed to get this thing started. 

So, first the disclaimer: I am not working in an architecture firm - I'm actually at a construction company. However, I work in their "Virtual Design and Construction" department (aka, VDC), which is kind of like the Switzerland between Design and Construction. It's been really neat so far. I did work at a great architecture firm for the two-plus years previous to this one, and for three years in architecture school I worked for the Drachman Institute. 

Back to the question at hand: why the title?

Answer: because that's what I spend a lot of time doing.

Ok, so I do get other things done while waiting for Revit, (including contemplating what to write on this blog) and it's not really Revit's fault that we're working on a really big building, but notheless, there I am, watching the little waiting cursor (especially when Revit is eating both processor cores and all the RAM, then I actually can't use my computer).

I've never had a computer this powerful before, and I bring it to a grinding halt almost daily. It's pretty incredible.

FYI, in my second post, I explain a little about what Revit is for all the uninitiated yet inquiring minds who want to know. So stay tuned, and hopefully we'll have some fun while we're waiting for Revit.
