My friend's team had this one client who called at 2am for tiny changes, then refused to pay on time. Honestly, it got so bad two good people quit from the stress. They finally dropped that client last month and my friend says the whole office mood changed overnight. Tbh sometimes you just gotta cut the bad ones loose.

How long did it take for you to really notice the difference? I had the same moment with a good pair of kneepads last year, felt like a total idiot for waiting so long. My old cheap ones just dug into the back of my legs all day. Now I won't even start a floor without my good gear, it's that much of a relief.

Wait, 23/32 of an inch for a 3/4 sheet? That's a full 1/32 short, which is a big deal for joinery. I guess the names are just for quick reference, but it sets you up for a bad time if you don't measure the actual stock.
