My barber's been cutting hair for 30 years and he still waits his turn like everyone else, but I've watched a guy walk in and get bumped to the front just because he owns the building next door. Nobody even blinked, that's the weird part.

One of my coworkers went through this exact thing with her wedding planning. She had some fancy project management app, the kind with all the bells and whistles and a monthly subscription fee, and she was still constantly losing track of vendor emails and deposit dates. Then her mom gave her a plain spiral notebook and a pack of colored pens for her birthday. She just started writing down everything in it, contacts, timelines, budgets, all on paper. She told me last week she's never been more organized and she actually feels less stressed now, which is wild because she was about to lose her mind before. Sometimes the simplest solution is the one that actually works.

Bet that nest was full of old creosote chunks too. Now you have a fun new fire hazard to worry about.
