If the cake is a lie, and there is no spoon, what is for dessert?

Cookies.

But watch out that they are not from Google.

I took some contract work last week. What I learned from it was manifold. Among these was do not let the buyer set the schedule without your input.
Do not use SolidWorks to animate without a lot of time plugged in to render.
Beware SolidWorks Models; they are not animation friendly.
Beware SolidWorks sourced files: they do not open up on any computer that does not have SolidWorks on board, even when exported.

In the end, I spent near a fifth of my time babysitting a thinking computer, and as much time trying to rework an unfriendly model.

Not only was the spoon gone, but the rest of the cutlery and place setting as well.
