QoTd: Me

Overheard at work today: "If I wanted to be a #$%^'in Architect, I wouldn't have spent all those hours studding Quantum Mechanics.  Then again, in Quantum Mechanics, at least there is a finite chance that you can fit two 6-foot benches into a 10 foot space"  - Me

We have a 1-million dollar construction project going on at work, and only last week did management decide to ask the engineers to make certain that everything actually fit, and that the facilities (power, air, water, etc) was set up right for the equipment.  Yeah, good plan there guys.  We have equipment that draws 80 amps set for 20-amp breakers, missing N2 lines, missing C02 lines, missing network drops etc.  I think there might be walls that are in the wrong place...

So once again I get to fix it, otherwise it won't get fixed...

Sounds like your job has a lot in common with running a small company!

Yeah, except I'm an "engineer" not a manager, and it's an $80,000,000 a year business.
