glad i took some anger management classes. i almost came unglued.

i have two individuals working for me that will not listen. they are an electrical engineer, and a mechanical engineer. i'm civil, so i admit..sometimes they talk and my eyes can glaze over the techical details.

we have some ductwork going up. there is an inline fan. plans say to cut an access door into the ductwork in case someone needs to work on it. there is a surface mounted EXIT sign potentially in the way. who cares? i think sometimes it is OK to have to remove an air cleaner to get to sparkplugs..right? these two want to take a 1.5 million dollar architectural system back to the drawing board, to put the access panel into it. out of respect, i took their idea to management..but i was always given the orders to "never mess with the panels". but i asked..i got the "NO" i knew i would get. to much e$xposure to claims.

i passed the "NO" back to the two guys..two months ago. i come into a meeting TODAY and they are all discussing modifying the panels again. they had CAD drawings!! effen two months wasted..i told them to pause..dragged up my busy arse management..and had them reiterate the NO!! i looked like an idiot! i got that look where they questioned my ability to run a crew. damn. damn damn..in the private sector..i would send them packing.
