Rant: A senior operator told me I was squaring my vise wrong after 3 years of doing it my way

Tapping the work down after snugging the back jaw saved me from scrapping a few parts too.

Just realized my old 'envelope cash' system was a total waste of time

$40 went missing from my cash envelope system in one month and I never found it, @emma_ramirez. Digital apps may shame us but at least they don't let cash slip through a hole in your bag or get eaten by your washing machine. That silent judgment is way cheaper than the therapy I needed after losing that forty bucks.

Went to a data center in Phoenix and changed my mind about cable management

Wait wait wait, did you just say zip tying cables tight can actually block airflow?! I've been spending hours making my racks look all neat and pretty thinking I was helping temps. My whole life is a lie right now lol

Had a character walk into a scene I wasn't ready for last night

Oh man, here we go, @diana_bell74 coming in with the actual wisdom while the rest of us are just flailing around! I mean, you're totally right though. That cat scene in my first draft was pure garbage until I just let my brain wander into it sideways. Deleting it twice is basically my signature move at this point. My outlines are like those strict diets you start on a Monday and abandon by Wednesday. Maybe it's just me but the weird stuff is usually the only part worth keeping anyway.

Pro tip: I started using a single highlighter for my entire monthly log and it's a game saver!

@amy302 totally fair but honestly yellow just helps me see time blocks quick, not everything needs a color code lol.
