John, how's the renovation going?

Oh, it's going. A bunch of stuff is done. A bunch of stuff still needs to be done. Sometimes it rains.

This is like the description of life.

Yeah, basically.

Now I'm just trying to now like make my peace with the fact that things are not done to my standards.

And it's like just, you know, just let it go. It's fine.

You met a human being much less a contractor that can complete anything to your standards. Like how does that go for you at work?

I allow myself to do some amount of nagging and some amount of asking for things to be redone in a better way.

But at a certain point you have to be like, look, just it is what it is. Just go forward.

Friday they're doing the front door, I think. So that'll be that that involves a lot of potential detail work

and a lot of potential for me to be disappointed in what ends up happening.

So the way you look at this is there not a lot of potential for you to be delighted. It's a lot of potential for you to be disappointed.

Oh, yeah. Now forget about to light. And then finally like painting at the end. I'm hoping even the painting I'm like, boy, like, you know, will the prep work be done to my satisfaction almost certainly not.

The prep work. You don't even surface prep, surface prep like you because they're not stripping all the paint off it.

They just want to paint the trimming get out of there, but I wanted, you know, anyway, I have demands.

It's really I had no idea. I mean, this is the nicest way. Like I, I just, I can't imagine being you.

No, you would have the point about some of these things too because sometimes, you know, sometimes you're making cut in the wrong spot.

Sometimes something isn't square when it should be. Sometimes corners don't meet up the way they're supposed to.

Anybody can look at them, can see if that's not right. This is the question of, does it bother you?

And sometimes you just got to just, you know, just let it go and just be like, all right, whatever.

Well, anyway, I'm very particular.

How does this work out for you at work? Given that you're so particular, how do you, how do you continue to have co-workers?
