My wife is a teacher. So when I saw this, I had to send it to her.

She and her teacher friends really liked it. I thought to myself, there has to be something similar for architects. I searched but did not find anything immediately obvious. So in the spirit of fun, I reached out to some of my fellow Autodesk bloggers. Here is what we came up with. Please have a laugh with us.

1. Just Like I Planned
   
   "My as-builts look exactly like my original designs."

    

2. With Time to Spare
   
   "After completing a project, I have plenty of time to stare longingly at it on my computer screen and admire my own work."

    

3. Spare the Rod, Spoil the Client
   
   "When a client suggests a last minute change, I sternly tell him that the time for changes has passed. He is grateful for my candor."

    

4. You're #1
   
   "Despite #3, when I share last minute changes with my general contractor, he always raises one finger to let me know I am number one in his book."

    

5. Gas versus Electrical
   
   "Thanks to the AutoCAD Sheet Set Manager, I can easily tell the difference between a dashed line and a dotted line on my iPhone."

    

6. A Nerd? Who Me?
   
   "When people meet me for the first time, and I tell them I work with computers, they are surprised."

    

7. Dress for Success
   
   "To save time, I often wear evening attire while surveying, so I can go out partying immediately after work."

    

8. Clothes Make The Man
   
   "I pick my hardhats to match my attire."

    

9. Better Late Than Never
   
   "This is what I look like by the time I get the cloud-based renderings I requested while in college."

    

10. Ready To Reinstall
    
    "I always keep my installation disks handy in case of the remote chance that I need to do a full re-install."

     

11. Burning the Midnight Oil
    
    "The glow from my computer screen invigorates me when working late nights."

     

12. Boardwalk and Park Place
    
    "After presenting to my stakeholders, my 3D models come in handy as spare hotel pieces for Monopoly."

     

13. It's Getting Hot In Here
    
    "This is the typical look on warm weather days when the construction crew has no choice but to wear shorts."

     

14. A Closer Look
    
    "I have no idea that I can zoom in using the mouse wheel."

     

15. Paper or plastic?
    
    I keep my drawings neatly stacked nearby as most projects only have 7 sheets.

     

16. Iron Man
    
    "Tony Stark's got nothing on me."
