On the Senior Technologist

'It's about time I introduced you to our senior technologist. We call him _the Doug_.' 'How do you do, Doug. Pleased to meet.' 'He won't generally acknowledge you, unless you screw up. Then he'll berate you loudly enough for the entire floor to hear. He dislikes architects and anyone who can't letter by hand.' 'I look forward to working with you.' 'No, you won't. We just put you on a project with him that's months behind schedule, is packed with unresolved details, and we already blew the budget oscillating between different design strategies before we abandoned all of them and decided to ape whatever was on the cover of this month's Architectural Record. It'll be your job to bring him up to speed.' 'I better introduce myself. I'm...' 'Does anyone hear a buzzing sound? What's that _smell_?' 'Also, you're going to be sharing an office.' '...better go get my stuff.' 'My _dog's_ a better designer than you. Too special to wear a tie, princess? Where's my haranging stone?'
