It is now 7 pm, we’re aiming to end by 8:30... that ain’t gonna happen.
Camaro #1 at Automobilia this past weekend.
Church ceiling mock-up the general contractor made. There’s about 10,000 sqft of this in the project.

Sometimes, I’m glad I’m not smart enough to be something like an architect .

I despise those types of meetings. My lord, don’t they know people stop listening about 45 minutes in? I’ve been in day long software engineer meetings, by lunch I’ve found several toys on the table and have flicked myself and others with them numerous times.

I’ve been involved in the construction of a few churches. Not my favorite projects. I got handed a 15 page packet of “rules” on one. No profanity and no red tape allowed were two of the rules I can remember immediately taking issue with. I need large quantities of both to do my job, and thus got a pass.

Oh god.
I once saw a meeting extending 40 minutes over if cars should park prallel or perpendicular to a wall....
It culminated with the architect drawing why Parallel was better in this case and we contradicting ourselves over and over again
sometimes contractors are their own wrost enemies.

I want to kill clients when we have our first meeting and we are trying to discuss things like total square ft, unit counts and they want to know where the mail room will be and if we can use high efficiency faucets.

Based on my experience with meetings in the last job I worked at (web developer at an ad agency), anything past an hour is a bloody waste of time. Everyone just zones out and nothing is accomplished past that mark. Some people just like to hear themselves talk, I guess.
