The Craptank

When I was in college, I thought architects were the pain in the ass of the engineer. Well as I've progressed through my career, I've learned that architects are the least of my worries. The real pain in the engineers ass is the land planner!

I had a set of plans together for a residential project all ready to submit for review. I give it to someone to take up to the county for me, when I get told to hold off, because some changes may be made. "They probably won't change, but better safe than sorry." Fine. So I wait...and wait...and wait.

Fast forward to two days ago, when I get told "some changes were made. Can you get it done in 2 days?" Sure, no problem. Of course I said that while thinking that planning had already made their changes. Boy was I wrong! The changes weren't actually made until a day later. So basically I have 1 day to do a total redesign. I'm a little perturbed, but it's still managable.

Fast forward to today. I'm plowing through my design, about ready to finalize it, and just do the drafting. Then I get a little blip on my computer telling me "something changed." God damn planners moved shit on me again! I swear to Christ these people can't make up their fucking minds! So now I have like half a day to mold this pile of shit into a Michaelangelo sculpture. Well that's not gonna happen. I'm gonna mold this pile of shit into a different looking pile of shit, because chances are everything is going to be fucked again, and why bother making it right if these ass hats are going to say to themselves "hey it got it working, now lets fuck it back up again!" Cocksuckers!
