I am gonna get SO yelled at by this customer
Check this shit out, ladies and gentlemen: I have, at work, a program that designs sheds.

Someone actually came in on Saturday and told me to design a church on it.

A church.

The whole bid is fucked up, I know it's fucked up, the management knows it's fucked up, but this guy is going to come in in about a month after he's started building this thing according to the design I generated and start screaming.

There's no bathrooms.

There's no pulpit.

There isn't even any drywall.

There's none of the things you'd expect to find in a commercial building. But he's going to bid this job based on the quote, and he's going to get pissed when he's only got about half the bid together.

Is anyone hiring in Iraq? I could do that. Be better than getting screamed out by some spending-adverse preacher.

1. You should have thrown in a DVD of "Lilies of the Field" too.
That would be a nice DIY companion piece. }(

2. Be upfront.
Maybe he doesn't care. Strange but true, he wouldn't be the first.
