Just walked through my old shop on 14th Street and felt dumb

I used to work at a repair shop on 14th Street back in 2018, stopped by there yesterday to say hi. The new guy had this big shelf of labeled parts and a heat gun station setup I never bothered with. Made me realize I wasted so much time hunting for screws and using the wrong tools because I just grabbed whatever was closest. Anyone else ever go back to a place you worked and see how much easier things could've been?

Dude, same thing happened to me at the bakery I used to work at. They had a proper proofing box and a digital scale for measuring ingredients, while I was out here eyeballing flour and hoping for the best. Makes you wonder how much time we wasted just not having the right stuff.

For real though, eyeballing flour feels like a sport at this point. Nothing like guessing if that's a cup or a tablespoon while your bread turns into a brick lmao.

Wait, you worked at a bakery and they let you eyeball flour?! That's wild (and honestly kind of terrifying for the customers).
