Hey everyone, there is a lot of stress in the big old world these days, people struggling to pay the bills, struggling to even put food on the table.
I was wondering have you pulled off any Lloyd and Harry moments from the movie Dumb and Dumber that we could all have a chuckle at, try lighten things up with a little laughter.
A couple I did recently were I bought some brand new metal sawhorses from Home Depot, they are all fancy and fold up when not in use, I managed to take my track saw and cut right through the top 1/4 inch of the saw horse for a little ways, it was the first time I used the saw horses.
The other thing I did was we went on a vacation the end of February, I always turn off the breakers to all the machines and turn most of the power off except the few essentials like the security stuff, routers, etc. I somehow managed to shut of the breaker to the heating system and I froze all my adhesives, I sometimes just stand and shake my head.
Anyways I hope everyone stays safe and tries to stay positive. Never give up!

Hmm, most recent I can think of, we had an elevation change on a job - I redrew it, then I printed off a hard copy which I took into the back and said "Here, this is correct." 10 minutes later one of the guys came into the office and said "This looks just like the old one." I had printed off the wrong drawing. "Oops," I said, "Sorry about that, I'll get you the right one." Print, walk out to the floor, drop it off. 10 minutes later, he's back in my office and asks "Do you get lonely in here?" "Not really, why?" I asked. "Oh, I thought maybe you keep giving me the wrong drawings because you like getting visitors." Yep, reprinted the same set of wrong drawings.

One time I started a cabinet shop. I still chuckle at my folly now and again...

LOL Karl, us too

I printed some labels the other day and they ran out so I refilled the printer and followed the instructions ( sheet of lables with which side upo and which end in the printer) and printed them again.

Since then the office Admin refilled the printer. Foreman comes in today and the labels are printed on the wrog side (from the other day) so I flip the stack over and reprint, still the wrong side so I flip again, still wrong. I pull them out of the drawer and they bottom up on top and bottom down on the bottom so when I flip they are wrong. I sort and put them back in and print agian, still on the wrong side.

Finaly got it straigtned out. Some people (me) should stay away from highly technical devices.

Any day I can find my way to work or home from work is a good day

As we say around the office "Don't get lost on the way home"
:=)

A-

The worst one I can think of right now is going to an install about 1 1/2 hours away and getting half way there and realizing (the bad version of an epiphany) I forgot to put my tools in the truck. A real F**- moment

Hey everyone, thanks for playing along, I remember a big box store many years ago that based all their commercials on a guy who would tile himself into a corner or cut his saw horse in half and it always made me laugh. It is funny until it happens to you.
Life is so hectic and busy and even more so now with so much on our minds, it is easy to make mistakes.
Take care everyone.
