    And it's fucked again. How am I such a goddamned failure at every single fucking thing right now. Someone please just come over here and cough on me, then shoot me in the fucking head and kick me in the balls for good measure. At this rate I might as well just buy a brand new fucking driveshaft because if I keep this up, this one is going to be worse off than before I started this campaign of ass-handery. I better just go put all my tools in a box and hand them to Goodwill now, cause clearly I don't deserve to lay my incompetent fingers on so much as a hammer unless it's to smash my own dumb face in, and while I'm at it I'll just throw myself in a box since I'm the biggest fucking tool of them all.

    FUCK.

    Is it okay to ask Glen what happened? Or should we wait? I’m new to this whole intervention thing.

    Said every mechanic ever.

    Working on cars is not for the faint of heart. Working on a daily driver takes a double dose.


    A lot of us have been there and we’re ok.

    Biggest skill of a mechanic is patience. Take a step away. Drink something and try again!

    I was attempting to press in the first of three new u-joints and didn't notice one of the needle bearings must have fell out of place and prevented one of the cups from fully seating. And now I can't manage to get the u-joint back out.

    You got it Glen. Just say fuck it, let the shit go for now. Get a break and start again once that frustration has passed.

    Anyway, thanks for putting up with my ranting and the moral support.

    Some really cool shit
    I've got holes in my garage walls from the screwdrivers I have thrown in frustration. I can't count the number of things I've broken or destroyed. Ask my wife, she'll tell ya. In fact, there's a floor fan near the outside garbage bin right now that I destroyed a couple months ago because it got stuck on something else in the storage shed out back. I didn't have the patience to figure out why it wouldn't come out cleanly, so I just yanked on it harder. Broke the fucking thing in half. I justified the destruction by reminding myself it was old, and I didn't like the way it looked.
