Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Happy birthday, @xJuice!

 

These people work at a University, right? They need to have someone sketch how their new office will look?

I can see it now, I need to move to a new cubicle and I ask for it to be sketched

 

I think pretty much any man goes through this at some point. I can only tell you what has worked for me in the past, and I can tell you that this happens in cycles, depending on projects, jobs, drama, etc. This has happened to me countless times.

Several years ago, I was in a different role in my company. I had a lot of direct reports from all over North America. I was not getting any sleep lol. My brain was going nine hundred miles an hour. I went to a shrink. They just wanted to talk about it. No plan or anything. Looking back, it is a good thing I found a solution or it could have been bad for me.
My solution? Write it down. Make a plan during your waking hours. Think of every possible outcome and deal with it on paper. Don't plan too long term, just a few days of plan.

Here is a very important quote that I think about daily: "An idea without a plan is just a wish." Simple, but effective.

When I started doing this, I immediately felt better and was able to be calm enough to sleep. Knowing that I had a plan, a good plan, helped.
Hope this helps!

 

You are the 2nd person on here who has said to write it down, I think I'll try that tonight, cause I know it's gonna happen. It did last night at 2:30, luckily I was able to go back to sleep from being so tired from yesterday.

I appreciate all the advice from everyone on here, it's nice to have different perspectives

"... the sheriff has the authority to assign office space at the courthouse..."

 

Never seen one of these, be handy to have. My cordless one does okay but lacks power.

 

Happy birthday @xJuice

 

My buddy ask me if I could make him a coupling, I said send me a sketch. His sketches are way better than mine.

 

In my youth I used to wake up with "great ideas"
(instead of the great worries that come with age...)
the problem was I couldn't remember them in the morning.

I got the idea to put a pencil & notebook next to the bed - didn't need glasses to write back then either.


So sure enough I woke up a few nights later with an idea!

It was simple!
It was revolutionary!!
It was a money maker!!!

I excitedly wrote down three pages of notes - everything was so clear, I went back to sleep so optimistic & relaxed knowing tomorrow would be the day - I would start changing the world & make enough money to buy part of it too.

Morning came and I awoke with a smile - I couldn't quite remember my great idea but I knew I had it all written down, I confidently reached for my (world changing) notebook...
.
.
...and...
.
.
It was three pages of absolute gibberish...



There weren't two words together that meant anything along with neat flow charts with circles & arrows that meant nothing.

I kept the notebook there for a while, never got one cohesive phrase. I decided that a semi conscious mind isn't something to take seriously.

 

Happy Birthday @xJuice I hope the sun is shining on you today!

 

I remember that day, and that note……

You were actually at work and the note was from your boss. I found a copy of said note……

Spoiler: Note…

 

While you were sowing, I was reaping.

This is my third load (the only time I thought to take a pic), all of this one is from the old apple tree. I'm making headroom for mowing season around the "estate".


I also rolled some lawn yesterday. It gets it about every 6 years because it desperately wether it needs it or not.

 

Funny, in my youth I worried about losing my job -
- as I got older it was more a matter of "if you can do it better then have at it".

After I retired it turns out they couldn't.

 

The corded worm drive ones are nice.

 

Yes they are.

I've got a DeWalt with a cord that'll eat through almost anything. I've had it for 20+ years.

Must have to take anti rejection meds for that to work.

 

You've been doing a good job mowing along the property line. But damn, that trailer is kinda tacky looking, can you move it before you take another picture?
