Yepper, when I get a job like that I usually price myself right out of the job.

I was a warrant officer in the army. The ranks of warrant officer went from WO1 to CW4. A WO1 was called "Mister" and the CW ranks were called "Chief". Just before I retired the army in their wisdom created the rank of MW5. Master Warrant Officer 5. What were we to call this guy? We thought the idea of all the commanders calling a warrant officer "Master" was just hilarious.

How funny, I like this. The unintended consequences and corners we paint ourselves into.

 I am the Master in my home. Everyone does what I tell them to do, and nobody questions my decisions, and I am served what I desire at anytime, for any reason.

 

Then I awoke from my dream at 7am on a Saturday, to my wife telling me to go to the store, she needs milk and butter, and I jumped out of bed like lightening with a "yes maam!", did my errands at the store, came home and fixed her breakfast in bed. Wouldn't have it any other way.

 

I always loved this joke, coming from the perspective of a man: Yep, I am the man of the house, I run our home, I run it all, I run to the store, I run the dishwasher, I run the vacuum, I run the dogs, and and and.

Not even my dog bends to my will. Sometimes my tools are pretty obstinate, too.

Gene has been reading the thesaurus again! MY tools are merely stubborn.

Stubborn tools can be gently coaxed to work. Obstinate ones take a good cussin' and an occasional beating....at least until their morale improves.

Then, there is the "rogue" tool that simply gets "Flying Lessons" and replaced by one that WILL do the job.  

I had a friend that used to give his golf clubs flying lessons. I tried explaining to him that it might be the operator instead of the instrument, but he wouldn't buy into that.

Anything with a touch screen  gets the Frisbee into a tree/wall/whatever treatment!

Those are the ones I have, it’s NEVER my fault  .

I had to laugh at that.   My neighbor has a gps in his truck that you supposedly can "talk to" and have it do stuff.   I've never in my life wanted to punch a device so much.  

Yep, those things tend to turn into annoying "Backseat Drivers"  real fast

Recalculating...Recalculating...at your earliest convenience, make a U turn. No! Not here, you idiot. This is a bridge.
