No doubt this poor guy's an engineer.
...or an architect.
We just can't help ourselves, though - we love to solve problems, even when it's not necessarily in our best interest. It's one of the things I love about design professionals. It's also one of the things that drive me crazy, especially when engineers that work for me (or architects we work for) are so focused on solving the client's problems that they forget a minor little thing like sending out a bill so we can all get paid.
