I fucking give up

About one year ago, a movement began at my firm to integrate us into the 21st century. The idea is to create a division that would not only be involved in architecture, but be involved in all parts of design…a client would come to us, we could help them with their image, and translate this image into the built world…

so we were off…we created aliances with local graphic artists, marketing firms, and ventured into the internet, by training ourselves, and aligning ourselves with local web developers…

the rest of the good onld boys balked…“this shit will never work” we’re goddamn architects, what the hell are we supposed to do…no desire to evolve, learn, or move into the future…

as a result, our relationships lapsed, all we had to bring to the table was a client list, the backwards asswipe architects didn’t know how to sell our services, and refused us contact with our clients…the whole movement died…

fast forwards to today…these inbred yokels have been getting requests from their dickhead clients for “what if we had a website to sell our buildings” these guys have come to us to investigate…

Suddenly these morons decide that this group should be reformed as a task force, headed by this dickless ape…and of course it’s all his idea…

we’re out of the loop…no thank you for your time…fuck off.

the part that really burns my balls…is that these shit eating monkey mastebating mule ball brained jack offs have had the nerve to ask us to put toghether a “skit” for the next office meeting. That in this skit we would symbolically bury our old group, and kick off this new division.

FUCK!

Integrating our ideas firm-wide…great let’s get out of the 19th century.

You claim our idea for your own…fine, don’t really care.

But how dare you, after ridiculing us for a year, putting up hurdle after hurdle because your puny brain couldn’t understand such a simple concept, spit in our faces…assholes.

ps…“well, you guys could be a part of this, but the core team is going to be set up in the home office”…how fucking convenient.

I don’t even have the time to go into how many times our client has pulled something like this. Please realize it is not just you.

My husband, who is an architect, claims that the idiot percentage in the field is alarmingly high.

That Mike Bunch image of archtecture as a Great Field endures, however.

I feel for you.

Nice rant.

Do you mean Mike Brady? From the Brady Bunch?

I’m pissed, but I’m glad that these ideas will make this a better place to work, and the attitudes and processes will be improved…

but goddammit…give us some credit, at least let us complete our idea before we hand it off…

but to re-itterate:

I AM NOT IN FIRST FUCKING GRADE, I WILL NOT PUT ON A FUCKING SKIT!!! DO THESE COCKROACH INFESTED ASSBAGS NOT REALIZE HOW INSULTING THE FACT THAT THEY EVEN ASKED ME IS?

“ha ha…we laughed at you for a year, oh yeah, it was a good idea, it’s ours, now…make fools of yourselves!!…”

luckinly for me, we all felt the same way, and our response to the skit question was a unanimous…GO FUCK YOURSELF…sirs.

gee, I wonder if I’ll get a bonus this year.

ponch,

Do you work for EDS? This sounds like something they would do.
