Cranky

First, let me tell you a little about what I do for a living.

I do drawings, mostly for district heating and some for constructions. This basically means that I si and draw lines in AutoCAD. Now AutoCAD is a very strange creature. One might claim that it's just a software like any other. I would say not. It's just strange. But I would consider myself good at it, I use it alot, I want to learn about it and I spend time learning new stuff.

This ofcourse means that I spend in general about an hour each day helping others with AutoCAD. Which is ok, I learn stuff then too. But today I got the question "Why are my stuff not on Z=0?"

Everything should be drawn on Z=0. As in just 2D, flat drawings. But since AutoCAD has the capability to draw in 3 dimensions, sometimes stuff end up on different z-levels if you're not careful.

The funny thing is that each and ever file I have had to work with from this particular co-worker has z-levles all over the place! I generally close my eyes, sigh and do whatever it is I have to do and leave the file as fast as I can.

And now, my co-worker wants to know why stuff suddenly have ended up on non-0 z-levels. Jeez...

On top of this, which makes me annoyed because it's basic 101 of AutoCAD, today has been one of those days that I am very aware that this is a male-dominated workplace. And the men have been very manly men today. Examples? Glad you asked.

- A co-worker told a story about how he had beat up an older boy in school back when he was 15- and the moral was that sometimes you just need to hit harder than the other guy.

- A discussion that the wifes should never get involved in splitting up assets after deceased parents of the husband, since the wife ofc will be greedy and want everything.

- Apparently throwing cold water on people in a shower is extremely funny. In general, throwing dog poo and water and ice and anything icky on unsuspeecting people are very funny, just so you know. But, a women being a bitch is not funny, apparently.

- Stockholm is ofc the center of Sweden. Everything that happens here will affect the rest of Sweden. (I live a bit outside of stockholm, contrary to my co-workers)

All of this have gotten me into a very cranky mood. So the happy post that I planned out in my head today will not happen.
