Stopped by my uncle’s shop today to drop off some boxes before the move. He was mid-project, calipers in hand, checking a joint before picking the saw back up.
No rushing, no guessing out loud, just quiet focus until the measurement matched his first mark. The guy really doesn’t rush anything!
I’ve been sending out job applications for weeks, rewriting the same cover letter late at night, hoping something finally lands. Watching him work made me notice I’ve basically been doing the opposite, throwing things out there instead of checking the fit first.
Didn’t say much, just stood there with my coffee going cold. Needed to see someone take their time with something today.
