inUpdate: That time I messed up a gate latch in the rain
Toothpaste as a marking tool is genius! That's the kind of rainy-day hack you only learn after a few gates fight back. My version of that was using a crayon once, which just melted into a colorful, useless mess.

inMy sister's boss told her 'we hire for attitude, train for skill' during her review last month. It made me rethink my whole resume.
Wait, they actually said that out loud in a review? That's wild! I'd be rethinking my whole career, not just my resume. It feels like they're admitting they don't value experience at all.

inMy hand-stitched book count just passed 500 and it feels weird
Wow, 500! That's wild. I'd have to count my own stuff but I'm scared to look. It's like checking your bank account after a vacation.

inTried a new two-part epoxy filler on a rocker panel and it was a total disaster
Ugh, that's the worst. I'm totally with you on this. Those fast-cure fillers are a trap for anything bigger than a pinhole. I had the same thing happen with a quarter panel patch, it set up while I was still getting it out of the cup. For real bodywork, I only use the slowest hardener I can find now. That extra time to spread and shape it right saves so much grinding and cussing later.

inMy car keys were in my hand one second and gone the next, then I found them in the freezer.
I always thought people who lost stuff in the fridge were just not paying attention. Then last month I spent twenty minutes looking for the TV remote before I found it chilling next to the butter. My autopilot is clearly broken.
