Brutal week..just brutal.

For those of you that may not know,I make my living building cabinets.
Those of you that do know,also know that I love my job,and the people that I work for.
This has been well documented.
There is however,one thing about this occupation that literally kicks my ass.
Staining...
Dont'cha know that you can pick from like 1,237,642(est.) different colors of stain to compliment any decorating scheme?..So,quite naturally,the biggest jobs always seem to require the most user un-friendly varieties.These would be the darkest colors,which are also of the thickest consistency.
Walnut..Dark walnut..Black walnut..Blind man in a cave at midnight during a new moon walnut..Holy crap.
Imagine painting the entire exterior of your house,..every nook and cranny,..and then,while it's still wet,wiping it all off with your T-shirt!
..It's like that.
Today I finished staining the last cabinet in one of the biggest jobs we've ever done.
4 bathrooms,..kitchen,utility room,and the garage!
All of the kitchen cabs have glass doors,which means that the insides must be stained as well!..I feel like I been shit at and hit.

So,what do I agree to this very morn?..
I agree to lay the carpet in the bosses' house this weekend.
Yep..I was a carpet layer for 10 years back in the day.

"Wait one minute there Sling!".."If we add up all the things you said you've done..3 years here..5 years there..10 years,. etcetera,.that would make you about 112 years old!..How is THAT?"..
Well,the answer is really quite simple.
..Figures don't lie!..

Now that I've cleared that up,here's a little Sam Cooke to celebrate the mood I'm in..
