Day 2: Grey's

I got out of the office early today. Early enough to catch Mr Dreamy/Steamy date the pool of interns and perform medical miracles.



I don't know what Doctors say about Grey's, but if there were a TV show about an architecture firm, it would either be wildly misrepresented or mind-numbing boring.



Mind-Numbing Boring (based on Reality):



Camera pans to intern. Intern clicks and clicks, changing the number of drawings at the bottom of each page. Her screen shows drawing 6 of 80.



Camera pans to architect #1. He is red-marking an 80 page specifications document. Every few minutes, he shakes his head and grumbles "F-ing idiot intern!" and scribbles on the page.



Zoom on screen of architect #2, sitting at his computer. He is drawing a detail of an expansion joint. Tiny little lines represent insulation, metal plates, sealant. Click Click Click.

Some of the misrepresentations of architects can be found here.
