Man, I get that feeling completely. That kind of job instability has to mess with your head after a while. It's not just the money, it's the constant starting over and the stress of not knowing what's next. I'd be totally fried trying to handle that much change in one year. Makes perfect sense to feel that way.

Modern safety standards exist because of lessons learned from those tragedies.

Sometimes you just have to call out the bad ideas right away. Like this one guy who wanted to use super glue on a cracked beam instead of replacing it. Sticking to the right way saves everyone headaches later.

Rubbing alcohol worked on mine too.

@lisa827, calling it dramatic ignores how much beeswax helps. It stops thread from fraying and makes sewing way smoother. For people who sew a lot, that's a real game changer.
