People miss that dismissing skilled work often leads to them paying for the mistakes later, right? It’s funny how the "simple" job suddenly needs a pro when their quick fix fails.

A buddy of mine was a mechanic at a car repair place that got bought out by a big chain. The new managers only cared about turnaround time, not if the job was done right. He ended up signing off on a brake job that wasn't fully tight because the shop was pushing him to hurry up. The customer had a scary moment when their pedal went soft, and my friend quit the next day out of sheer guilt. He found a smaller shop that values quality, and he's so much happier now, even if the pay is a bit less!

Orion with paw prints is a nice touch, but I doubt astronomers are taking notes. It's just a piece of paper.

Yeah that "one more chapter" trap is too real, @angela728. I had to start setting a phone alarm as a hard cut-off.

In my Brooklyn apartment, sealing windows did little for the constant sirens outside.
