When I'm sitting in a conference room with the project team, envisioning myself leaping across the table, anime-style, complete with 8-second hang time, to "tell" the designer what I really think of his latest ideas, does that mean I am imaginative, or is it just The Crazy?
And was it wrong that I thought up that image while I was supposed to be taking meeting notes?

Monkey,
I think it would be abnormal not to have such thoughts.
I am an architect living near a big midwest city. Old enough to be your father.
I have dealt with the insanity and stupidity of the profession as well as clinical depression, even to the point of hospitalization.
I laugh at the silly deadlines I am given (as an exanple, do complete construction drawings for a 12 unit townhouse in 3 days). I tell people I will do the best I can and try as hard as I can not to get sucked up into the madness.
Hang in there, Monkey!
That seems pretty tame compared to some of the fantasies I've had at work. Isn't there a scene in Artificial Intelligence where a guy pays to simulate killing his boss?
