Lyrics: The Ballad of Ingrid’s CAD Fight

I’m sittin’ at my desk, it’s another long day,
Turnin’ drafts to models, but things won’t go my way.
Sketch is too loose, then too tight to hold,
No solid’s forming, just a tale getting old.
Oh, the deadline’s near, the pressure’s high,
Fixing mistakes, watchin’ time fly.
I keep on pushin’, don’t lose track,
But the clock keeps tickin’, no turnin’ back.
Edges don’t meet, gaps are too wide,
The solid won’t close, though I really have tried.
The boss walks in, tappin’ his feet,
“Move those ribs, change that seat!”
Step by step, I stay real strong,
Though the list of changes just goes on and on.
Then comes the moment, I’m almost there,
But the license is locked—life ain’t fair.
A call, a fight, the software is free,
But CAD crashes out—oh, misery!
I stare at the screen, shake my head,
“Not my problem,” is all I said.
Oh, the deadline’s near, the pressure’s high,
Fixing mistakes, watchin’ time fly.
I keep on pushin’, don’t lose track,
But the clock keeps tickin’, no turnin’ back.
It’s 4:30 sharp, I grab my coat,
Vacation starts, that’s all she wrote.
The company will live, they’ll find a way,
I’m sippin’ my drink at a beach far away.
Oh, the deadline’s near, the pressure’s high,
Fixing mistakes, watchin’ time fly.
I keep on pushin’, don’t lose track,
But the clock keeps tickin’, no turnin’ back.
