You might see me too now.

Kind of a big deal in the bedding world now, who knows where that might take me.

Or you might see me on security footage stealing a skidsteer/excavator.

Only time will tell.

i'm thinking i should drop the 1500 signing bonus on a new bed :)

I need a 1"x1"x 2.5"+ (if it is way longer I can trim it, but have some space) piece of tube that is boxed on the ends.  I want to rivet an oil caddy to my sled.  Would allow me to rivet from both sides and not have a rubbing surface.  I could get away with skinnier or slightly larger as well.  Can find all sorts of square tube, but none that is capped.  Considering it is to mount an $8 oil caddy I don't really want to pay someone to weld me something.

Craftsman sockets are more than sufficient for a home set. Have had one set for over 15 years and another set over 10.  Never have broke/striped a socket. Their ratchets suck though. Have a pile of broken ones.

 

As mentioned a few times by others, the Snap-on 3/8" swivel head ratchet stubby is my fav also.

Here is how you fix everything.

#1 calm down. Everything is better than ok. Bills are paid and you are not some fuckface.

#2 decide what you want, type it, or write it, and keep a copy close by. I have my short medium and long term goals in my briefcase. If you don't write it down and look at it, you probably won't see change.

#3 allow yourself baby steps. $10/hour is not beneath you. It a not $10/hour either. It's folding jeans in a retail setting while training to tell others to do it. The manager at the buckle from the Mall of Americal was grossing nearly $100k a year. Under him I made $3.25 per hour. I got the extra .25 per hour because I interviewed like a fucking champion and had a good resume. I busted my Ass, drank coffee and sold a fuckload of denim. I left as one of the top sales people in the company because I put just got up and did it. Paid attention to my mistakes, and always tried new ways to make it better. That $3.25/hour was my best paying job in both real dollars and experience until I started selling beds. $10/hour isn't beneath anyone.

#4 now that you have your goals written down and you have created momentum by doing something to make a bit of $$$, start planning steps and making your goals smaller. Start big, then whiddle them down into steps. You can't do this part until you have momentum though. You need reality of momentum and work to help you pace and decide your baby steps.

#5 start crossing off things as you do them. This will make you feel better than anything you have ever done. It is literally the strongest dopamine release you can give yourself.

Thank you. This is honestly the best advice I have gotten in a long time.

Love the momentum analogy Matt.

 

J, If everyone is in good health and has a roof and food, what more can you ask for?

 

Life is like the lottery, if you don't play, you can't win. Nothing in life is a guarantee.

Sure did.

All the blood left my brain and I had to sit down.

When you reapropriate a few quarts of blood like that it's bound to have side effects.
