One of the architects, Jacques Groag, wrote in a letter: "I come home very depressed with a headache after a day of the worst quarrels, disputes, vexations, and this happens often. Mostly between me and Wittgenstein."

I just thought it was a funny little quote is all. I think everyone in our profession has had this experience at one point. I wasn't really commenting on the work culture of my firm in particular.

I know. I'm just joking around. There are days when my face hurts because of something someone is doing on a project.

Right now I'm in the middle of a very painful VE phase on a project. Both we and the contractor apparently forgot to tell our client that we don't, in fact, control the economy, building department, or time itself.

I wish both of you happy holidays. Hang in there. I am glad I am not working at the moment.

You too my name! I'm ready to take my vacation. Just a few more hours at a desk, then I'm off until next year.

This is very funny, Jovan. That damned Wittgenstein!
From the Wikipedia page on Haus Wittgenstein:
One of the architects, Jacques Groag, wrote in a letter: "I come home very depressed with a headache after a day of the worst quarrels, disputes, vexations, and this happens often. Mostly between me and Wittgenstein."
