I was grabbing a coffee near Leduc last week and overheard two electricians talking about a job at a warehouse. One said he saw log books with entries written 3 weeks in advance sitting on a dash. Made me wonder how many contractors are fudging hours on site reports too. Anyone else ever notice stuff like that at their own job sites?
I started posting my digital paintings last February just to force myself to finish pieces. Hit exactly 500 followers on Tuesday and it hit me that's like a small room full of people who actually want to see my stuff. Most of them came from a single piece I did of a rainy street in Chicago that got shared around. Has anyone else had one random post suddenly change how their account grows?
Guy drove three hours from Portland to my shop with a IIIf that had a lens mount bent at least 2mm off true. Said he'd been sitting on it for six months afraid to touch it himself. Anyone else get customers who treat their gear like it's made of glass?
I saw a client last week who used a $40 mask from Amazon every day for 3 months and her skin got darker patches instead of lighter. The thing was putting out UVA instead of the right wavelength. Anybody else run into fake devices messing up people's skin?
I thought I was being smart buying a high end generator for my food truck in Austin. Paid $400 for a brand that claimed to be "commercial grade" and quiet enough for downtown permits. After 3 weeks it started sputtering during lunch rush, then just quit. Took it to a repair shop and the guy said the internals were basically lawn mower parts with a fancy sticker. I lost $80 in permits that week because I couldn't stay open. Anyone else get burned by supposed food truck gear that was just rebranded junk?
