Throughout my many years of education I’ve always been really good at the first 3/4 of everything. Entering the workforce has forced me to get really good at the last 1/4 (excuse the poor, cheap pun). The work I do requires attention to detail and after months of looking at a project the last thing you usually want to do is look at it through a microscope five more times, but alas…that’s what you do!!
About three weeks ago the back window of my car was smashed in while parked next to my apartment building. I’ve determined that this was my initiation into some sort of Baltimore religious experience. hallelujah. The next day we were pummeled with about 40 inches of snow and my car sat at the mechanic for about two and a half weeks. When I finally went to pick it up I noticed something on the back window. I walked around to the back and realized the mechanic had salvaged a window from another car and had forgotten to remove the two GIANT Christian school bumper stickers on either side of the window.
My initial reaction was to tell the guy I was Jewish, but decided to avoid any heady conversation at 7AM. I told him (annoyed) that I would be back to have them removed. He apologized for the oversight and as I drove away I realized I would just end up taking the stickers off myself because to drive all the way back there would be more annoying than playing with a razor blade and some paint thinner.
