I think the only hell is those created by that Chester fellow on the latest "what style is this shitty house" discussion. Besides that, hell is only a concept for the weaklings who need "adult supervision" in their lives.

I'm a big fan of the rust-stain paint scheme they have. I would not have considered matching my handrail colours with the trash boxes.

Buried in endless RFI & submittal paperwork. listening to the newly graduated intern's design philosophy. Oh no! I just described my actual day!

Being a plan checker in a building department.
Second choice: Cleaning up bad/corrupted CAD files done by a newly fired ex-employee. Don't ask why I say that.

Some people just can't be trained. Just like some dogs can't be house broken.

If you want to make someone's head explode, trace over their plans zoomed way in with no snaps, polar, or ortho.

Responding to administrative BS from the plan checker. Like when you get the comments back and the only one is: add deltas to every cloud.

Getting paid upfront to work on a great commission without tight deadlines and zero inspiration.

Doing work and not getting paid for it all the while still being asked (screamed at) to do more work because I'm holding everything up.

Quitting a "job" four times and being "rehired" because I'm needed four times all in just a few months. But then not getting paid anyways, hence the upside down commas around the word "job". It's only a job if you get paid, it's called hell when u don't.

Sounds like Im getting paid after all. I asked again in a pleasant tone. They said I will get paid. Woot!

i would rather spend a week writing specs than a day dealing with poorly written, uncoordinated specs.
if i was in hell i think i would be trying to wrest control from the devil. not just that i want power, but the fucker keeps going behind my back to fuck shit up and leaving me to piss my day away cleaning up his messes. some days i just don't have patience for stupid.

There should be a special place in heaven reserved for those who write specs. A good specifier is worth so much more than just the words on the paper.

i find they read the specs after they've put something you didn't intend into the project, in hopes of finding the paragraph you didn't have coordinated well enough with the drawings.

I'm just here to point out that there is a lot of architecture between houses and public works, thank you.

Read the specs to them (pre-bid). Disqualify anyone who didn't read the specs.

I meant either/or. Read parts GC/GR. Have bidders sign to acknowledge receipt of specs. Disqualify if can't read bid forms (can't follow directions.)
