1) Don't do anything on the stuff we were supposed to be working on together.
2) When I come to help you do it, I'd rather you not just give it all to me.
3) When the boss starts hyperventilating because he told his boss we'd have it done tomorrow, don't decide then that you might need to act busy on it.
4) By "acting busy," I mean hanging around and watching over my shoulder and chitchatting as I draw which, frankly, does nothing but slow me down, and reminds me that you didn't do anything in the first place, and that all you want now you want to act like you're involved. I'd rather not be reminded, thank you.
5) Continue to hang around asking if there's something you can do. Day late, dollar short. It's mine now. And there's only room for one on my board.
See? I told you I was very peculiar about having hangers-on when I'm working. Good thing I'm a nice person.

Posted by: Anthony von Krag at March 13, 2006 05:56 PMYou betcha, and I consider myself the John Henry of hand drafting. (Although I'd rather not get into a competition with a steam-powered computer) A couple of the other guys up here use computers, but I learned on Autocad 11, which just goes to show how much of a dinosaur I am.
