Building a fence without power tools felt like a trip back in time

I got a call to build a fence the old school way, with no power tools at all. After a day of swinging a post hole digger, I was sore in places I forgot I had. Makes you wonder if we had it tougher back then, or just more patience, right?

Showerthought: Job interviews erase the roads I almost took

I keep seeing how job applications force you into a neat box. They only care about the path that leads directly to them. Like when I skipped mentioning my year doing art shows on my resume. It made me dwell on what a life in art might have been. Now I'm stuck thinking about all the selves I left behind. It's annoying how this process ignores who you are outside their needs. We get so focused on one lane we forget the other exits.
