The time I tried to color code my entire bullet journal

About three years ago, I decided every single task and event needed its own color. I bought a 12-pack of fineliners and spent a whole Sunday setting it up. By Wednesday, I was spending more time hunting for the right pen than actually doing the work. I had to scrap the whole system and go back to a simple black pen. Has anyone else tried and failed with a super complex color system?

Caught a parts vendor pushing fake capacitors last week

I was getting capacitors for a fridge fix and the vendor's batch seemed wrong. Upon testing, they overheated and could have sparked a fire. I had to delay the job and explain the risk to the homeowner. Always test suspicious parts before installing.

Client tried to shake my sooty hand before I could clean up

I now wear gloves until fully packed to avoid messy greetings.
