Holy Supersizing Batman.


I have noticed that my tasks expand to overfill the alloted time and set budget. Part of the problem is how easily I am distracted.(already discussed in a previous blog) I am fixing something around the house I notice other things that need to be done (A self imposed honeydo list. part of my female side I guess, but I could be wrong . The another part is as I am repairing or installing something around the house, I fix anything directly related to the project. For example I installed a new garbage disposal, in doing that I re-plumbed the drains, ran a new line to the dishwasher, and installed new shut off valves for the hot and cold water. All because it was easier to do while I was under the sink. It all needed to be done eventually, but not right then. The project expanded in time and money.

I am also a perfectionist. I just installed a new vent hood over the stove. The vent pipe was visible when the cabinet door was open. I built a box around the pipe. The wood was not quite the same shade as the cabinet. I stained and varnished 4 times before I was satisfied.

Yeah I know I need help.

That covers the expansion of time and expense.

Leaving the ever growing pile of stuff in my house. I believe in the saying there is a tool for every job. I intend to own them all. I have a male side too. That covers part of the reason my pile of stuff is growing. I also have a shoe issue. I have many pairs of shoes. Only 2 pairs of dress shoes, but many boots, boat shoes, and skate board shoes. I know for a fact I have 3 pairs of rock climbing shoes. 3 pairs of running shoes. I have between 10 and 15 pairs I have collected over the years. Once again my darkside rears its head.


Until Next Time
I am as always making myself a honey do list

(of course I lose the list, what do you expect I am just a man)

MJ isn't it wild how one thing leads to another?! Just think of the time you saved in the long run though. Better to be under the sink in one long run then having to go back over and over and removing the items stored there over and over again! LOL
As far as that ever growing pile of stuff in your house...well sounds like you need my serves as a top notch organizer!!! Just call Beach to the rescue, hehe.

Hmmm, could a perfection issue be considered OCD?

Hey, MJ: Does the fact that I have a ton of power and hand tools qualify me as an honorary man? I do all of my own home improvement projects. I own more tools than most men I know.


piercednshavedmn replies on 11/8/2006 7:08 pm:
Jen,
First we need to check your qualifications. How may tool related injuries have you had? If the number of injuries is less than 5 in the last 36 months you are to safe to be a man.

Until we check your qualifications you are granted provisional honorary man status.
