A Rant @ MindSay

No I am not being payed for this rant, neither am I claiming that I am a professional at ranting (Though some would disagree with me). This is a rant about the hated enemy of nearly every person who shares the drafting profession.....

 

Architects.....

 

Why do we hate Architects? Here's the run down.

 

The are hypocritical, their lines don't join up, they don't always draw to scale, they don't proivde all the necessary drawings in e-mails, they draw with a million layers and only use 2 of them, leaving the rest in there..... The list is MUCH longer than that but so be it, you get my point, they are very sloppy.

 

The most annoying of the above traits is the first. The make drawings in which lines don't join up, and try to avoid paying us if ours don't, they don't always draw to scale but get up us if we don't, the will fry us if we don't provide all of the drawings for the project, if there is one excess layer we will hear about it. It just s&%ts me to tears that we have to put up with this crap so often.

 

So that is why all draftsmen hate architects on principal, that is why architects suck, that is why I am a draftsman not an architect.

 

Anyway, enough of this little rant.

 

Have a good one.

 

P.S. While I condemn architects as a whole, I do judge each by the drawings they send me.

 

P.P.S DM, please don't become an architect, I don't want to have to hate you on principal too.....:( 

I confess I have little patience for stupidity and/or ignorance…even when it’s legitimate and not willful. So suffice it to say that if I had to drive for a living, I’d likely have an ulcer, for it seems stupidity runs rampant on the streets and roads in this area. Now that I have a highly maneuverable little automobile with lots of get-up-and-go, my patience seems to have worn even thinner than it was when I was driving my ancient war tank.

 

Should folks be re-tested every year for simple things like highway terminology – such as what does PASSing lane mean? Is that just another word for ‘Senior Citizen’s Leisure Lane,’ or ‘Sightseer’s Lane,’ or is it simply the lane reserved for drunk drivers who need plenty of room on both sides of their vehicle? Or could it actually mean PASSing lane?!

 

Are those little ‘bumps’ in the center line of the middle of a multi-lane road there for people to practice their traffic weaving techniques in traffic while chatting blindly on their cell phones, or could they have some other obscure purpose?

 

Does the red light mean I stop here to put on my makeup until the red light turns green and the green light almost turns red again, and then I gun it through the new red light because the guy behind me is sitting on his horn and I don’t know why so I just dart out into traffic to get out of his way? Or does it simply mean, time to take a quick nap?

GEEZ. I'm convinced SC driver's liscenses are sold out of bubble gum machines behind the counter at the Family Dollar Store...
