I just missed a parcel delivery because I was in the shower, having already gotten one parcel today. Why send them in two separate deliveries?

I aim to misbehave

My boss just asked me a few questions about a beam design I did a few weeks ago. He pointed out a few things, which were technically correct, but still kind of wrong.

Now I'm doing a beam design and I'm completely stumped and second-guessing myself on everything

AARGGHHH

Okay, background info. I designed a beam a week ago. He is now designing a beam for another house, but hasn't done one in a while so he's looking over mine.

He called me up again, and pointed out another thing which was wrong. But really it wasn't wrong. I skipped a step and saved myself about half an hours work because I knew if I selected Beam A, it would be wrong, and I'd have to redo everything and design for Beam B, and possibly Beam C. So I skipped a few steps, because I knew by looking at it, by f*cking looking at it, that I'd need Beam B.

So he calls me up saying I should have designed for Beam A instead of overspecifying. Gives me a patronising speech about how he knows I'm still getting used to it, and it takes a while before you can be confident in your calculations. So when he left to go out on site, I designed it using Beam A, and its wrong.

Motherf*cker I have surpassed you. The student has become the master. The master has become my b*tch. You haven't done a beam design in ages because I've been doing them all. I'm f*cking great at them. So f*ck you.

Sad part is, I can't tell him he's wrong. Because technically, I should have designed for Beam A. But when he tries it, he'll see I'm right. So f*ck him

I did. I pointed out why I skipped the steps. I said that while Beam A would pass on shear and bending moment, it would fail badly on deflection. I pointed out why. Then he just started on about how we should be trying to use as small a beam as possible, because its easier to install etc. I just checked, even a beam just a little smaller than Beam B fails. Even though I had a good feeling that it would, I wouldn't have been able to prove it there so I said nothing.

He's sly like that. He won't technically give out to you, he'll just 'explain the way we do things', so really you can't give out.

Another problem is, I sometimes check calculations on post-its first, just a quick check also in order to save time and pointless calculations. But I can't say that because I really shouldn't be doing it.

I'm going to wait and ask him how it worked out for him though, did he get it as a smaller beam

Just wait till something he designs with the wrong beam fails due to it being too small, sit back and say 'I told you so'

I wouldn't even say that. I'd just give him a look of disappointment, then occasionally mention things like "Beam me up Scotty" or "My car failed the NCT. Turned out my Headlight BEAMS WERE TOO SMALL"

Anyone else having trouble with the forums? It keeps asking me to donate to access. I can access the threads from the main page, but not actual forums.

Also, I was going to find the Death Pool thread, as apparantly Bobby Robson has died.
