My buddy Carl did all his training on the new tower crane sim. First week on a real site, he went pale when the load started swinging in a breeze he never felt in the chair.

Funny how you can still hear the echo of rollerblades and food courts.

Oh no, that's the worst feeling! That whole grain direction thing is such a sneaky beginner trap. My first few tries did the same thing, just curled right up. Makes you want to never touch paper again, right?

Ugh, learned that the hard way with a backpack left on a patio chair. Now if I have to fix any flaking straps, a tiny bit of seam sealer from my camping kit buys a little more time.
