Me:”Hmm... No...”

Apparently he packed up his stuff over lunch and left...

permanently...

without telling any of the project team...

neat.

Kinja'd!!!

A couple weeks ago he told me he wanted to become an inventor. Also, he’d been complaining about not getting to design things on his own to several coworkers. All of which told him that that was due to the fact that he’s a draftsman with an associates degree from a tech school and not an Architect with a Masters degree.

To top it all off, I wasted spent an hour this morning teaching him how to manipulate pdfs.

One of our VPs came down to my area and was showing his phone to some other VPs kinda laughing saying something about “we gave him 48hrs”.

Fast forward 4 hours: (after a lunch with Jake) I came back to the office to find annoying coworker sitting at his desk, trying to start conversations with coworkers...

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Sweet Impala SS action for your time. I’d love to have one with a turbo LS swap

teaching him how to manipulate pdfs.

What? How does mr. I wanna design my own shit not know how to do that? Please tell me there’s more to this than just loading, saving, editing and closing. There has to be. That’s push button easy stuff.

There is not, and the software we use is super intuitive. I’m not optimistic about his future.

Wants to build buildings but can’t push a button the make the app function...well, there’s only one place for someone who wants to do work they are woefully unqualified for these days; politics. He should put away that CAD license and find an open state legislator seat somewhere and run for it. It’s his only hope.

I know a couple of retired architects who’ve designed all manner of buildings including skyscrapers, yet couldn’t build a pdf document to save their octogenarian lives, let alone use CAD software.

Give em a slide rule and graphing paper, though, and watch the magic.

Suddenly, my love for old bubbles is reignited.

(Hits CL and eBay for workable examples)

Aaand I’m out!

I understand the inept coworker thing. I have one of those and he will not quit. I still don’t understand how he even got hired in this position. I’ll give you 2.5 quotes that should make you giggle.

“The Fire Dept always shows up when the alarm goes off?” Oh, yes! Always at a Hospital. “They would always call first to make sure it was a real fire at the last place I worked”

(Where the hell did you work?! Did it burn down??)

“I know more about setting up retirement funds than air handlers and boilers”

Grrr..

If you had not taught him how to work with pdfs, he wouldn’t have been able to clean up his resume and would still be there.

This is all your fault.

This is the part that fascinates me, was your PDF lesson the last straw?!

You should contact Barron Trump. I hear he’s good with the cyber.
