Question if this noise complaint is worth stressing over. New people move in and suddenly there's a problem, but you've been fine for years. Maybe they just need to get used to the vibe or you can find a compromise on volume. It seems extreme to ditch your spot over one complaint. See what they actually want before you panic and move everything.

Swiss meringue buttercream really is the game changer. It stays workable forever so you can fix every little ripple. The temperature thing is big, too warm and it slides right off, too cold and it pulls crumbs. A hot bench scraper makes those sharp edges effortless, just run it under the tap. Practicing on a turntable with even pressure changed my whole technique. My frostings now look smooth and intentional, no more toddler hands.

Wondering if you have a specific trick for listening while still making sure the cut turns out right. Does splitting your focus like that ever make you mess up a detail, or does it actually make the time go faster and better? I feel like some clients come in just for the chat part now, which totally changes the vibe of the appointment. Have you noticed if your quieter clients get less of your attention because the talkers are more, I guess, demanding?

But honestly, who cares what he thinks. It's just some woodworking, not a life or death thing.

Wait, you spent twenty minutes thinking a main character was brand new? That's next level. @the_troy, I felt bad when I just mixed up two side characters' names, but your brain did a full factory reset on that guy. I could never trust myself to remember anything after that either.
