Spent 8 hours chasing a phantom fault on a 30-story Schindler in Chicago

Turns out a tiny piece of metal shaving from the door track had fallen into the controller's terminal block. Ever have a gremlin like that make you question your whole career?

Man, that's the kind of thing that makes you want to just stare at a wall for a while. All that time for something so stupid small. Makes my own bad days at work seem pretty simple.

My buddy spent three months building a custom shelf for his wife's collectibles. He measured everything twice, bought special wood, the whole deal. Turns out he was off by half an inch and the whole thing wouldn't fit in the alcove. He just sat on the floor laughing after all that work.
