Jokes of the day I

Too much silly stories i heard from this industry. Too silly too ridiculous you will never believe what i am writing now...

- capacity: 2000kN, design load: 60kN ---> overdesigned? 30times!!

- submit calculations for authority approval ---> my computer kena virus (infected by virus), i cant print out the calculations!!
err... what about writing down the procedures, design and analysis on the calculation sheet? do you know how to do hand calculations, without using the computer? i mean... do u know how to use the calculator? or... do u know what u are doing?

- Senior professional talking to Junior / sub-professional: 'why not we get someone more experience to set up the layout?' (before he continues the design)
*akhem* aren't you supposed to lead the job and set up the layout? because... you are Senior and i am junior/sub professional.... u know...

- OMG we have a deadline to catch, we need to issue the drawings!!!
emm... what is our scope of work? what are the drawings we need to issue?

- We design the pile cap to NOT to take any Moment since we already design all column at each level to be pinned at both ends, so there will be no Moment induced to the pile cap!
pinned column at both ends? every floor? then ur building will look like....

- slab (150mm); perimeter beams (b=150mm, h=150mm)
.... .... .... Contractor: 'how to crank in the bars?' etc etc
