The week every bolt fought back in Fresno

Had a stretch last month where three days in a row, nothing went smooth. First was a 2004 Subaru with a seized caliper bolt, had to torch it for 20 minutes. Then an old F-150 with a rounded oil pan plug, the previous guy had used an impact on it. By Friday I was ready to throw my ratchet across the bay. But the weird part is, that kind of week makes you appreciate the easy days more. Anyone else have a run like that where you question if you even picked the right trade?

@lilya76 same here, those Saturdays build character or something. Keep the faith.

Ngl I used to think every tough week meant the universe had it out for me, but after a brake line that took all Saturday I kinda get what you mean about the easy days hitting different.
