Old Guy

I like that one.

I guess I have been doing production type work so long that it doesn't
overwhelm me. I get really ****ed, and if I am working on something
really special, I am disappointed. The best way to get over the
failed project is to immediately restart it. You will be surprised
how much that helps.

For me, it is childish I know, but I like to take the pieces of
hardwood from a failed project out and use them in my smoker. Some
kind of perverse, childish behavior there, but to get even I burn them
up. The give their remaining existence to season my pork butts and
briskets.

In my own way, it makes me laugh.
