29th May 2008
Reached my office at 0800. I have come to the point where I can't decide either to be three minutes late for work or an hour earlier. Greeted Mr. Azhar again when he was about to open the office. Had a short conversation with him in the office soon after in which he talked about the role of an architect. He also mentioned that I would need to work with an Interior Designer on the Amin Rafie Project which I will be supervising the Interior Designer's work 
. Besides that, he said that there would be a meeting later in the afternoon on the Amin Rafie Project and since I am part of it I should attend with my drawings. Later, I applied for a leave of absence coming Monday and Tuesday and he approved of it without much questions ask or trouble. Once Amir came in, we went through the mistakes in the drawings and adjustments which I would have to make.

Amin Rafie Project
Major adjustments to be made in the drawings concerning the format, designs and specifications. Almost thirty minutes into the briefing then I started work. Changing all the necessary details were tedious and I was very disappointed with the drawings by the previous architect. At one point I wanted to redraw everything from scratch but came to my senses almost immediately. After the adjustments on his drawings, I had to work on the adjustments on my drawings instead. The whole day was once again spent on the computer's screen. It was fortunate that the engineer postponed the meeting to tomorrow afternoon as it gives me more time to work on the drawings which Mr. Azhar stated that some were wrong. Stayed in the office until 1850 working on the drawings. I have no choice but to bring my work home with me. . .

In the morning during the short conversation with Mr. Azhar, he said that most of his site visits were on the weekends. Looks like I will be working on the weekends. After lunch, I went to Mr. Azhar's room as he wanted to pass me a task list. According to that list I have six projects under me, some which are pending, waiting for approval and on-going. Besides that, the talked about engineering related topics probably because an engineer would be coming in for a meeting which was postponed.
Nasty engineering related work which includes horrid calculations on just one simple beam, construction problems associated with stingy contractors and the significance in an architect's drawings.
