>You would be surprised at how many of the non-paper pushers take their
work home with them. Mulling over in their heads how to over come the
complications that have developed on the worksite during the day or the
ones that are still to be tackled.  We all think the otherside has it
soooo easy.

A restoration mason I know lost weeks of sleep worrying about a failure
that occurred on one of his projects, 5 years after he had completed it. He
wondered whether he had inadequate knowledge or skill, or had somewhere
gotten lazy and cut some critical corner. He retraced his procedures and
steps over and over again in his mind. And the Architect's report that
workmanship was inadequate and the main cause of failure caused him deep
and continuing anguish.

A year later, things worked themselves around to indicating that the
Architect had missed basic underlying structural problems which were
unaddressed in the repair plan. 

Who suffered worse?
