Frustrated

I have a rule....when things begin to go wrong....walk away and start again another day! Usually fatigue is what gets to me.....you get so focused you get weary! Set your work aside and take a break when it happens! Regroup and attack it again fresh later!

Yup, works for me, at least in this job.

There are studies on this and they equate certain levels of fatigue to blood alcohol levels for a comparison to impairment. Scary stuff if you think about your hand close to machinery in your shop.

At any time we are now allowed to call in fatigued for work and there is NOTHING the company can do except put us in a hotel and let us rest.

Definitely try what TDF said. Most importantly don't toss that needle. Hang it in your shop as a reminder and you never know someday it will come to you with an idea to fix and finish it.

Yeah say I am turning or drilling.......I screw up 2 or 3 thru-drills! I know its time to set that work aside and move to something else....hand sanding bodies or priming or sealing. Then go back to that other step later.
