LEARNING HOW TO BUILD

February 21st, 2008

I got into the office and I noticed a piece of paper and a programmed CD on my desk, which said install closet organizer. I launched the program and to my surprise a nice 3-D diagram of the organizer popped up on the screen. This was great in comparison to a huge piece of paper giving me directions in what seems to be another language. The program let me see what I was building and the different ways in which I could build it. The only problem was that the closet was a mess. Couldn’t they have cleaned it out before I began the project? Is it not enough that I am in charge of building the organizer but now I am in charge of cleaning the closet? The closet had everything you could imagine in it, binders in one corner, and papers in the other, articles from newspapers published in 1940 in boxes on the shelves. I attempted to organize the mess as best I could, putting everything in one corner of the room. I began to wonder if they expected me to put it all back in when I was finished building the organizer. At the time I wanted to ask someone because if I did have to put it all back in it would greatly affect the way I was going to build the organizer, but no one was available for me to ask. I finally did call Sue at the office, who had no idea, but said she would get back to me. I started the project with the hopes that I wouldn’t have to put the mess back in. I did it in a way that would make it easy for me to adapt the plans in case of any changes I had to make. Sue finally got back to me right as I was finishing the project. Fortunately I did not have to put the stuff back in. Good thing because it was my wife’s birthday and I’m sure she was already upset with me for staying late.
