inWasted $250 on a fancy toner probe kit before switching back
I used to be that guy who figured the price tag meant better gear, I bought a $180 Fluke toner years ago thinking my $40 no-name was just a toy. Then I spent a whole afternoon chasing a line in a drop ceiling and that cheap probe beeped right on it while the Fluke kept locking onto the wrong pair. Tbh the tone on the basic one was clearer too, not all that digital warbling that sounds like a dying smoke alarm. Now it stays in my bag and the fancy one collects dust on a shelf. Ngl I was wrong for years about needing the expensive stuff, cheap tools have come a long way. The marketing gets you in the door but the job is what tells the truth.

inRant: my coworker called my cat coffee table book 'just decoration' and I'm still annoyed
Kayla sounds like the type who thinks a couch is just a place to put laundry. My own mom asked why I don't just look at cat pics on my phone like a normal person, so I feel you. Some people just see furniture and some of us see a whole mood.

inFound out the average barber only keeps 5 out of every 10 new clients, and it hit a nerve
Check your math on that 40 to 19 thing though, because 19 divided by 40 is 47.5 percent, which rounds to 48, so that part is fine. The issue is what counts as "lost." If a guy gets a cut on April 3rd and his hair grows slow, he might not be due again until early June, so he never shows up in your April or May numbers. I ran into this same panic last year and then realized like six of my "lost" guys were just on a five or six week cycle. Pull the data again but give it 90 days before you call someone gone. Your real number is probably better than you think.
