sigh
today i started a new project. for the past 7 months i've been working on proposal work and have loved (almost) every minute of it. i design, render, make pretty pictures, redo some, but generally i'm creating. the only reason to ever redo something is either a. i didn't like it and wanted to redo it, b. the principal didn't like it and wanted it redone, or c. it's too expensive. none of those options bother me...maybe sometimes option b. like i said earlier, i started a new project today. i'm not a big fan of projects, yet i was semi-thrilled to be working on one that i designed the interior for. i received my instructions late this morning and immediately starting working on setting up the files. it's a complicated organizational system with 4 files; 3 central files linked into 1 composite file. it took me the rest of the morning and into early afternoon to separate and organize everything. task completed. or so i thought. the verbal instructions given to me were wrong. how frustrating. instead of cutting and pasting the sections of the building into the new file, someone else had a 'better' idea to copy everything then start deleting parts of the building. one way or another, it's the same thing. this is precisely why i do not like working on cd's. everything has to be redone because someone else thought it would be a 'better' way. someone higher up. so right now, i'm frustrated. not excited to be on a construction document team anymore. i want to go back to my happy place of designing and making pretty pictures. this is why i hate cd's and the only part about architecture that makes me want to get out of the profession.
