Remember when you had to actually be sick to take a sick day? I called out last week for a finale and my boss asked for a doctor's note. I almost sent her a screenshot of my stressed face during the dinner party scene. That episode had me checking my own fridge for moldy fruit, just in case.

Coleman.jade has a point, feels like overkill sometimes.

My buddy fixed his car bumper with it last week.

We had a similar spec on the turbine casing at the Pine Bend refinery last year. The procedure called for a 200-degree preheat with ceramic blankets, and it felt like a waste of a whole shift. But after seeing the other crew fight with stress cracks all week, I got it. Sometimes the book is right, even when it hurts the schedule.

Remember the Simpsons games? They were full of that stuff.
