Brain surgeons at work. See all the busted tiles? Best not to help them out as they’d prolly want you to do it all for them? Well got to hand it to them they are trying to give it a go. Maybe watch a few youtube videos first, next time you try something outside your lane/experience? Cavguy
I'd much rather ask my daughters for help. They were trained better. I can ask my wife to hold a flashlight, and within 10 seconds, the light is on the ceiling and she's planning my next project.
I hear that. If I loosened everything up my daughter at eight years old could gap and change the plugs, oil and filter and change and set points and replace the condenser. Now this was a 383 with two sets of points and she would get them perfect. She and I always worked as a well oiled team. She's fifty and I'd work with her in a heartbeat. I know all about the flashlight and listening to anything but what you are doing at the moment.
I learned a long time ago don't put your fingers where they don't fit. I went without most of my fingernails for several years after an outboard motor slipped & crushed my finger tips.
It's a hundred little things like this. They start to add up and you can't pinpoint the straw that broke the camel's back, but you just don't look at your wife the same way as you used to.
I got a ring finger crushed between two blocks a few years ago; had a pin inserted the length of the finger for a couple of months. Nerve was exposed once the bandage came off; touched it accidentally and the pain was blinding. Just sayin'. I feel for the guy.
Nope. That's his professional training. White collar through and through. And that's okay but for the love of Pete, have some skills outside the office. Its the pussification of 'men' on display.
I blame him. Obviously she needed to be told. He didn't and he paid the price. His lack of awareness.
The fact that they're even in that awkward situation of cement blocks stacked at the curb (no dolly, no wheelbarrow) says they're both operating beyond their skill level.
So now he has a thrilling tale to tell to the other bean counters at the office. Seriously, age 40 something and not knowing how to expeditiously move smallslabs? He's the kind who owns one screwdriver ... because he inherited it. 20+ yrs working in the trades, I have met these types. Is my disparagement showing?
right is hurt. left hand is gonna be, soon.
ReplyDeleteI feel his pain. Lol

When working with a woman do not ever think you are working with a man. Cause and effect type things do not register. Plus they will not shut up.
ReplyDeleteShe had ONE job!!!!

ReplyDeleteWhen working with concrete blocks you should wear leather gloves.

ReplyDeleteThat was love (his quiet walk-away).
