Crazy Work Stories

Where to even begin on this topic?! All of us have thousands of stories about the contractor who is five months late on a six month construction schedule (and somehow it's all the architect's fault); about the janitor who thought the bathroom tile was 'just dirty' and proceeded to bleach out the brand-new integrally-colored grout; about the time the owner just didn't understand why we couldn't produce construction documents on his new laboratory project in just two weeks. These stories don't describe the internal fun, like the Person In The Office Who Never Orders More Plotter Paper Even When They Use The Last Roll or the time someone 'accidentally' deleted the project directory from the server. It's enough to make you scream and quit; thank goodness, we love what we do. What happened to you this week that nearly drove you over the edge?

Very interesting read. Thanks.

The response level to national disaster is noble but it's a real shame that so many people take advantage of the negative situations.

I mean everytime there is an earthquake, a flood, an oil spill - there's always a group of heartless people who rip off tax payers.

This is in response to reading that 4 of Oprah Winfreys "angels" got busted ripping off the system. Shame on them!
