Oops!

I fucked up yesterday at work. I don't mean I mistakingly called the boss an asshole. Or that I filled the red color ink with blue. It's not like I even got a speeding ticket in the work van. No, I couldn't get off that easy. Instead, I drilled through a water pipe. In an existing home. While the home owners were there. They make millions. They watched water spray across their entire living room. They watched me yell like a submarine captain, "Shut off the main valve!! DO IT NOW!!"

I suck.


But really, how the fuck was I supposed to know it was there? Stud finders don't work for shit, so I'm not to trust a copper-finder, if they exist. It took the plumber a half hour to fix, and it cost $300. I'm in the wrong field of work, lemme tell you.

It all worked out in the end, though I still feel like a horse's ass. But that's not so different from normal.
