sittin at work today, swearing at myself for stuffin stuff up i came up wtih three theories as to why i was stuffing up such simple tasks. it was really annoying me, as im usually quite switched on when it comes to technical things.

1. My brain isnt being stimulated by boring, non thinking tasks (cutting bits of stainless) so goes to sleep completely causing me to make many $&#$% ups.

2. Being an apprentice takes away all previous skills and makes you useless at every thing you atempt.

3. Im just a dumb ass

so which is it, am I really too clever for cutting steel up, does being an apprentice numb you mind, or am i just plain old thick as shit

option 2, applies to me too

Is this stuffing up stuff like pulling a cambelt off and looking at it, putting the new one on, reassembling and then noticing the actual new one on the floor which would mean the old one is.... damn it!

Or just general retardedness like spelling "filter" with a 5 in it or something?

Stimulation, you need. MhhhhHHHHHHHhhmmmmmMMMmmmmm.

more like cutting 5 bits of flat bar, and then remembering i had to add half a mm for the bandsaw teeth, or spending an hour polishing something thats about to be glass beeded.

Dude drink more water.

haha, sorry I should have warned you about the 'peeing' thing.
But being hydrated really does increase your concentration.

Have a descent breakfast, like a banana and an up & go that always makes me feel better and way more alert.

And also get up a few minutes earlier so youre fully awake and not rushed to go to work.

Helps me anyway..

Coffee works for me and heaps of it.

Stimulation is good, maybe your hand, or even better a gal, either way you will come.....to feel less bored. The more tedious the job the more mistakes you make.

What you are suffering from boxxy is a form of self hypnosis.
