If you think the work is frustrating, I'd imagine the coffee breaks are even more unsatisfying...

Yep ... it's his hobby. Looks like fun, too.

Can't have that.

Oh, no!

Gotta condemn him as insane. He'd be SOOOOoooo much better off ingesting chemical tranquilizers and staring slack-jawed at the television.

Then he'd be "normal".

There was a guy who acted crazy all the time, who started digging in front of his house by using a little army folding shovel every summer when I was 8 years old. When I came home from college 20 years later, and went by his house, he was still digging and had dug up 500 foot square and 30 feet deep hole.
When I returned 30 years later the hole had been covered in, coz evidently the house had been sold and the guy moved. Everyone called him a a nutcase.
Then one day I was talking with a state geologist who told me that the glacier had crossed the area 3 times, advancing and retreating, and dumping 3 moraines, each one 10 to 30 feet deep. He said that the state geology dept. was trying to find the edge of these moraines at a certain latitude and a belt of longitude because that is where the glacier had dumped Canadian gold it had scraped and transported hundreds of miles. I doubled checked the map later and drove along the latitude to the coordinates of the glacial dump. Guess what, the center of the lat and long. coordinated belt was the front of the crazy guy`s house.
A true story.

PS the geologist said they had looked everywhere using GPR`s
in the narrow area where the dump should have been but found nothing. They couldn`t understand it coz they said this was the only area that it could have been coz they looked everywhere else.
