What makes a glue person different from just a busy one? For me, it clicked when a coworker said I didn't just do tasks, I connected what people needed to what was actually possible. That focus on linking things up, not just checking boxes, really stuck.

Ha, that's the best feeling! I'd probably just stare at it for ten minutes, too proud to move on to the next job. What's the next project, a '90s beige Camry?

Smart move, @kelly.jenny.

Yeah, that "lifting with that line" comment rings a bell. I saw a post on a detailing sub where a guy was doing a light polish on his new F-150 and the paint started to wrinkle right along a body line. He was using a super mild compound too, so it wasn't like he was being aggressive. Makes you wonder if their primer or clear coat process changed.

Remember to schedule a blank page for staring at the wall.
