hey Wash U faculty. It is so great that you don't show up for college lectures. Shows your incredible support for the student body. you win for awesomeness.
electrical team, thank you for requesting additional electrical space after we've issued a foundation package for construction. when we sat down 3 months ago and agreed to everything, i was certain that you'd come back to fuck me in the end. thank you for making my job easy.
mechanical team, good news, you've decided to add more shafts. why not? everyone loves shafts!
construction team, i think its great that even though our drawings stated "not for construction" you've decided to place a steel order without our knowledge. so instead of revising the foundations, our structural team gets to review shops that aren't even close to whats on paper now.
designer, i think the golden section is great. i'm glad this has influenced your parking lot design. really, i think it swell that you continuously refuse to abide by life safety and accessibility issues. you rock.
IT, thank you for blocking all streaming content. it was really distracting. it used to cover up the streaming content from the restroom that i'm so wonderfully located adjacent to.
Cameron, your comment about Wash U faculty was entirely uncalled for. I think a students education should be the least of the faculty's priorities. After all, it's not like the students are shelling out thousands of dollars and putting food on their plate. By the way Cameron, why don't you think of someone else for a change!
There is nothing more enjoyable than wading thru the Wood Frame Construction Manual and working with the Wood Frame Construction Manual Workbook in analyzing a two story residential structure which they call a three story structure cause it has an 8 and 12 Roof Pitch, all of this because the winds are currently blowing at 120 mph on the eastern seaboard which is most likely going to change in the next ten years so some engineer will have to go back and retrofit for 140 mph winds...
I discovered one of my projects has the town line running diagonally thru the building and site. More important I have to go to both towns
for building permits. This should be alot of fun!
I love getting a call from the client at 5:30pm on a Friday asking for something that involves coordination with consultants who have already left for the weekend and me trying to find production staff who have also left for the weekend, to be done by Monday morning - and I really appreciate the fact that they knew this for 2 weeks and waited until the very last minute to let me know. Oh, and they are right to tell me I am being difficult (and all of those other wonderfully colorful terms) when I calmly explain why this is an unreasonable request.
I'm currently working on a project where the Town Line runs diagonally thru the existing building. So you have it it falls in two towns. So guess what....Every aspect of the project has to be given the blessing of two towns. Which means a ton of wasted paper and
time just because people have gone into the protection mode for their jobs....I fricking hate slow downs. The latest was one town needing to assign an address to the site when we already have an address from the other town....now how does that suck....we most
likely will have to put up two address which don't correspond at all...
but you know you have to do it for fire safety....ya Wednesday's do Suck! Crazy thing is I did this project 3 years ago...and there wasn't even a second glance at the fact it fell in two townships. Same place different people three years later.....WTF? Now I feel better....ARGH!
I just love working with a condescending, obsessive-compulsive, micro-managing Project Manager who never ceases to remind me how much work we still have to do and how busy he is with on other projects.... And yet insists that we spend half of each workday in project team meetings that go around in circles and accomplish absolutely nothing.
I heart the GC working on my project. I thought it was great when he told us the finish schedule did not coincide with the floorplan . despite the fact we worked on it all yesterday morning. I thought he was so smart when he emailed us the floorplan and schedule to show our mistake... which proved to me... that he is still looking at last week's floor plan BEFORE we made the new revisions. GOD I LOVE IDIOTS!!!!!
working on a pro-bono project and it is 10:30....now that sucks..
and you know the meeting you have tomorrow with the govermental agency doesn't give a shit!
subway sandwiches are delicious. I love eating there for lunch everyday because there's nothing else affordable around and I'm took lazy to pack lunch in the morning. Also, love corporate office parks.
I love when our clients change the scope of our work, after the CDs are already complete, twice in as many days. Template roll-out work is awesome and not at all mind numbingly tedious. My job rocks!!!
i know it's thursday, but damn! i'm so thrilled that i got asked to fill this dude's stapler, i absolutely couldn't wait until next week to share. yeah, i know he's 86 and has probably filled plenty of staplers. i'm just glad i had the opportunity to build my skillset. stapler filling. going on my resume. i'm sure that is what's preventing me from getting the job of my dreams.
I not only love trying to refinance my house, but I love sitting around at the office all day long with absolutely nothing to do day in and day out. It doesn't affect my outlook on life at all. I'm not beginning to feel jaded or hopeless in every aspect of my life... no sir-y Bob. Life is great.
dear GC - thank you for putting in a change order for items we originally spec'd because I rejected your cheap-ass substitutions. Of course it's my fault you underbid and I will </i>definitely</i> approve your request.
Sure I can have that complete new concept to you by Friday morning (1.5 days). Figuring out a new layout with completely new finishes is easy. Who cares that it took me a week and a half to do the first one. Thanks for letting me know all this now and not last week when I was climbing the walls with nothing to do.
There are indeed three 8 hour days in 24 hours. I hadn't thought of that before. That might become my new mantra
It's Sarcastic Wednesday!
i love this time of the year!
no you go, I'll be here when you come back (As he slams the door shut)
ah... me loves waking up at 6am to do 3d-smacks
hey Wash U faculty. It is so great that you don't show up for college lectures. Shows your incredible support for the student body. you win for awesomeness.
i am so sad about today being my last day at my current mid-size arch. office
oh, and i am not nervous at all to be moving to a corporate giant, being led by my ambition and a design void they want me to fill...
this fast track stuff is awesome...

Losing a day's work because you've been up all night vomiting = woohoo!
<non-sarcasm>
postal, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post. I hope things on the job get better soon.
<back to sarcasm>
Not getting to see vado this morning because you were too sick to go to the AIA meeting = totally rocks!
I am so utterly shocked that architecture is currently the least creative and inspiring of my 3 jobs, school never prepared me for this...
obama/clinton debate starts in 20 minutes! so excited!

I really love that no one speaks or writes english any more. 8 in 12, bitch. . .
I'll lose a friend over that -- like I give a shit. [wow --this sarcasm stuff is da bomb !]
da bomb? the bomb....damn I hate English Majors without an original thoubght.
heh heh -- old expression last parodied by D Letterman, circa 2002 (?). I see it doesn't improve my street cred !
See ya next Wed
I love coming to work to find that the drunk homeless guy has left all of his possesions (including his bottle of Popov and Fanta) on my doorstep

i am so sad i brought this thread back to life!!!
looking back at the prior posts before, makes me realize how things are so much better now...we just didn't realize how rough things were back then...

It motivates me like crazy when someone posts sad pictures of animals on Archinect!
given that it's only Tuesday, are you we're allowed to post on this thread?

Reading Housing Authority specs is FAR more entertaining than sitting out in the breeze watching my chickens!
