I feel for you Paul. It's not your fault. Stuff like that has happened to me, and it was never easy to sit in a meeting and tell a client what happened.

I recently had a client that contracted the survey company themselves for a hot job. They didn't know what to ask for and the survey company probably hadn't done a whole lot of jobs like it. So I got junk survey and poor cad drawings that took weeks to straighten out. On top of that, the client kept pushing to get the job done, but there was no way in hell, I was going to release the construction prints when we couldn't agree on where the piles were to be driven.

Last week I got a picture of another project where two contractors couldn't connect too pieces of pipe when one was already there waiting for them to tie into!

I finally got out of project management...too many idiots to have to rely on sometimes and clients can be too unreasonable. Been at the new job for a few weeks, and I haven't broken or thrown a pen or pencil, torn anything up or slammed my mouse on my desk since. I use to sit back in my chair and stare into space while fuming in anger and disbelief at the stupidity of people and things. People at the old company knew not to come into my office when I got that look.

Good luck Monday morning.
