Letting off steam.

It's simple. You have a regular work day filled with fun and frivolity and the occasional romp in the park with your co-workers (that was sarcasm to those who are sarcasm challenged). It's a standard timeframe that has worked wonders for the corporate world. However, this weekend defied that scenario.

I just came off a 4 day run with a total of 5 hours sleep, 5 meal breaks (non of which were actually meals) and no assistance to finish up a project. Why? Because the Project Architect decided to go on a golfing trip instead of giving me the ****amn documents I needed to finish up my construction documents (cad drawing).

115 million dollar project left in the hands of a project manager. NOT an architect (although they are often over-rated), but the guy who co-ordinates the drawing of the building. Now, we have 300 sheets of drawings sitting here, waiting for his signature and to go out to contractors while the architect drinks sweet wine and plays golf in sunny California.

Today I had my first REAL meal in 36 hours. I"m going to give it to him in about 6 hours. I'll just put it on his desk. :cool:

Thank you for letting me vent. I'm going to finish my beta app and get some sleep :)

Hand it to him in some sort of code. Or jumble it up in such a way that only you know how it goes together, so you can waste his time like he did yours.

Yea, that is a good idea. I'll package it and everything. Small piles inside of larger piles with a prize in the middle. :|

Thank Beer that was the last job I had to do for them. I now work for a company that is immensely easier than anything I've done in the past. Oh...it's lovely. I get to eat lunch ever day :)

Crap. I just realized I answered the "Do you work/etc....." question incorrectly. I barely answered it at all. :( How embarrassing. These are the things that ruin applications people, so read carefully.

Ya I worked at a landscape architect last summer and a lot of the people were always stressed about projects, having to stay late and such. One day I even stayed at work for 12 hours with out a lunch break. Good for the paycheck, but I wasnt really a full employee, I just made the changes in CAD after I got the red-lines.

And i've got a similar story, a few weeks ago I had a lan with my friend on friday, and though hey we'll stay up that night and ill take him to work in the morning (Paper boy, had to go to work at 1:30AM) so we did that, and were thrashed the whole time. So when we came home we kept playing. He slept for a few hours while I kept playing. So I finally napped for an hour and didnt go to bed until around 10:30 that night. And since the next day was sunday I had to wake up at 12:30 to get to work. It actually was a good day as far as works concerned. I got all 290 sunday newpapers in just the back seat of my car, when I normally have to stuff the trunk as well. The shittiest part about the whole experience was on my way home I fell asleep at the wheel and hit a tree and totaled my car. It was a nice car to.

And I thought college was bad.
ripping into the teachers, little work done, playing music, eating n drinking n basically braking ever rule in the place, walking out of class early to go the cinema.
:D


(of course then does come the crossing the line and the teachers flipping ut on you, the stress of realising your work needs to be in next week and you've only done half of it, why the hell wont this code play ball, why has my datapen broke! :eek: arrrrh!)


yep they where the good times :D

you go college in warrington or outside in halton?

FartCop: seems you got the brown end of the stick on that one dude, surly you have sceamed a way of getting back?
(although not to the same degree, in my previous job my boss was so lazy they had me do practically everything, when my contract ended ... they where left high n dry!
I told them where every thing was, things they had asked me to save n store etc, the procedures of simple things which they never done etc
proof of they were compeltely screwed was when during my leaving do, a drunk collegeue told me that the boss had no idea where anything was ... proof they never listened to me! (although the drunk college had stated she was able to save the day and show the fool where i had put everything))
