The Victory Lap
- Morning flow’s become smoother than a freshly pulled wire. Starting to feel like a proper apprentice, not just someone playing dress-up in work boots.
- Subbing out a moderate lunch with fruit makes me feel sharper than a fresh set of wire strippers.
- Finally cracked the code on presence – Those 5-minute cleanup warnings are becoming my zen moments.
- Conquered the “problem room”. Nothing says “I’m getting better at this” like packing out outlets that refuse to kiss the drywall, three outlet’s in ten minutes.
Today’s Reality Check
- The bottle-as-bathroom situation is getting about as old as last week’s coffee in the break room. There’s got to be a better way than feeling like Bear Grylls on a construction site.
Tomorrow’s Game Plan
- Time to upgrade the mobile relief station. Looking at travel urinals or something because we’re professionals here, damn it.
- Pay cut’s coming faster than a falling screwdriver, so time to hustle smarter, not harder. Side gigs, here we come. (PS: to my wallet – hang in there, buddy. We’ve got this and we’ve got plans.)
Wisdom Dropped
- Sometimes the best apprentice move is the one that works for you, not what everyone else is doing. Trust your gut (especially when it comes to lunch decisions).
