Cut your time in half? Is it really that big of a difference or are you just really good at losing stuff?

Honestly, that plant is so overrated. It's just a trendy stick with leaves, and it dies if you look at it wrong. Not worth the stress lol.

Color matching can be the absolute worst part of the job.

That's a solid lesson to learn the hard way. It makes you wonder how many other small steps in a job have that kind of hidden cost if they're wrong. @lewis.diana, your uncle's brake line story is the same idea, just a different part of the car. Did your old boss ever explain why the torque spec was so critical on that specific engine, or was it just a blanket rule for everything?

Honestly, that's just a fun writing exercise. It's not some magic trick for a real book. You just got lucky with a good idea this time.
