the brains of an ape in the body of a trifle
Today, I had a very simple question regarding my architects drawing.
"Gary. Is the measurement from the bottom of the standard to the top of the flooring 250?" (I choose to check because some of the numbers are written on in dodgy biro and if I don't get this right I write off about 6 tonnes of steelwork)
I would have thought this was a simple question. I had PICTURES. I had a POINTER. I POINTED to the relavent parts of the PICTURE as I said the words.
Gary: "No. Because we've used 100x100 PFC Box, so from the middle of the box to the centre of the flange of the channel, taking off the plates, and then because the wood's...blah...blahblahblah...blahblah.
This took around 5 minutes of my life. My answer was simple.
"So, it's taken you five minutes to explain to me that when you said 'no' you meant 'YES'. JEEEZZZUUUSSS."
No, I'm not the most patient person in the world. Especially when it comes to uni-bollocked CHIMPS in overalls who are meant to be training me but who NEVER listen.
GAH.
On a big plus, he's on holiday all of next week.
