Im sitting here writing a project, due monday next week. Its a building project(as i study to be a building technician) anyways... Im supposed to calculate how much earth i gotta remove to make a foundation, obviously the logic way of calculating this would be to figure out how much mould is to be removed, find the cubic-metres and find the price for a size of that area, this can be repeated for the removal of sub-soil and for the areas that should be filled up with concrete.
At least this is the logic i used, then i check the pricelist to see the prices for what ive calculated... And here, hell begins. First of all you dont write cubic-metres for the mould removal, no, you pick a fixed height 20/30/40 mm. which is very dull considering all places have a different size, and then you pick the size of the area, and thus you can calculate a price. Ok that may not be too bad.
For the sub-soil you use running metres, a fine smart definition, which basically just is a new calculation of the total length of the foundation, ehh brilliant? then finally to fill up the hole you've dug, you fill up with concrete which you then calculate in cubic-metres.
I already decided im not doing this part of my project, simply cause its too stupid and is a fucking waste of my time and those correcting it too.
This was maybe a bit of an unclear example, but thats girls in a shell, not easy to understand, no common sense of logic and they always expect you to understand exactly why this way is so simple.....
Anyone got suggestions to other stuff obviously made by girls?
