The Isolated Blurt Thread VI: The 6th Nonsense

[Wings]

Keep calm and remember it's not personal. There's a large change coming up on one of my jobs and although it's frustrating (because I'm not fond of doing work stuff twice) it pays well.

Just roll the red-lining cost into the next change order. Be sure to add an appropriate profit factor.

I mobilize on Monday. With an incomplete set of construction drawings. For a 47 million dollar contract.

I wouldn't be so angry if the fact that I kept warning them that the second the money came in I was moving ahead and that they had to be current. And to top it off the guys kept telling me it was a complete set. Ummm. No, it's not. Hard to jump from floor 1 to floor 3 and just ignore an entire level and tell me that the set is complete.

Were these changes made prior to ordering materials? I always appreciate it when changes are made after parts are ordered that will no longer fit because of changes that were never discussed with us.

This is why I drink. (reason # 1,229)

Ha. I'm about to go drink my lunch.

Did you remind them of the increased cost to their client?

For some projects, client involvement sucks, but others, the clients can make the architect do cartwheels.

Looks like Saturday night on B Street to me.

That's the great part. 3 for 1's and the like are as common as the piss smell there. But then when it's time to chow down, $$$.

I need to post some pics of the generous half naked ladies that were so abundant, but, I'm lazy.

One morning, I think my windows are about to shatter.
I run downstairs to find a group of tourist screwing against my shutter doors.

Front lawn raking is nearly complete.

Next I shall tackle the backyard.

I'm amazed every spring at how many stones the state crew manages to get on my lawn with the plows.

Still, almost 800 calories burned so far...tonight...

I.will.drink!!

We are the owner. I just put on my mom voice and received 3 phone calls in the space of 15 minutes. They got that I'm pissed.

It's raining so no garden work, still plenty to do inside.

I want a bar with a good band, and a good beer deal.

I'd delay one of their progress payments.
