This was posted on Facebook today and I found it to be pretty spot on, although my swearing and looking for lost/miss placed crap has increased in the last few years. Thoughts?
Pottz - -I too usually don't know that I am bleeding until either my wife asks "What did you do there?" or I notice blood drops where they don't belong. And the swearing quad should also be enlarged. Many years ago my son, who would spend some time in the shop while I worked was doing something with his skate board and he came to me and asked where the "goddamnit" was. Uh oh! He now has his own shop and son and so I am sure he has discovered where that particular item is in HIS shop.
Dayum! An accurate representation of my shop day, maybe some off the swearing and more towards the "searching/fixing". I have to shuffle time resources to where they are most needed!
Sorta Duck. Problem is the repair/modify/replace is usually triggered by an immediate, work stops now problem. Unless that down time is used for the tool work, the gains from outsourcing only apply to the "swearing" portion, used to hurry up the return of said tool and rue the money spent.
Have you ever watched any of the woodworking shows on the Tube and wondered how many takes it required to get a swear-free segment. You can't tell me that those workmen on This Old House never utter an oath or a string of words that would burn the hide off a black bear. I definitely agree with Pottz and LBD, it should be added to every slice and for Duck, maybe include a manual on how to manipulate the language into a fine degree of *&^#$^%@&^##&*$)_(@*&^@#^% swearing!
