You shouldn't be in the club if you ignore basic safety precautions and then laugh about it.
I seem to have a mental disconnect with cutting metal=HOT
I get everything else (Don't use gloves when you use the chop saw, safety goggles, cut away from you, don't touch a glue gun, exc) however, I keep burning myself on metal. I just can't get it into my brain. Its kinda annoying.
For someone who claims to be very smart, you do a lot of stupid things.
I have a tendency to jump into things without fully thinking about them, how to go about it, and what to do when I'm done. It generally means I learn a lot; but I break lots of things and waste a bit of time because I need to reassemble something becouse its easier to move it fully assembled.
No joke, there's two sayings going around robotics (I'm tom)
- Tom saves the day again! (Mostly whenever I do anything good, sometimes whenever anything good happens at all)
- Tom did it. (Whenever anything breaks/bad stuff happens)
If you knew me in real life, you'd say I'm a smart guy who's very clumsy. Learn from your mistakes, for me these are plentiful.
