A testing situation
Why is it when you buy certain products, people feel the need to give you their opinion?
Course this doesn’t happen to blokes. Or it doesn’t seem to.
“So… needing a new screwdriver, eh? Is that a good or bad bit of news for you?”
“Good. The old one was just too rusted and bent. Thought I’d do a better job with this one”
“So this isn’t your first screwdriver?”
“Oh no, have a whole set at home, see here in my wallet, this photo of the collection”
“Well, don’t be too disappointed if this one doesn’t turn out the way you hope. When you are trying to turn a screw, it doesn’t always work out the first time. It could take a while to get it to turn. And the harder you try…”
“Yup, know it. The harder you try, sometimes the harder it is to turn”
Blooming heck. You’d never hear such personal questioning at the hardware store, would you?

Ha, love the analogy..
So the question is, did the screwdriver work? Is there a screw in place?

:) Can’t check yet, as it’s too early, but am hoping there won’t be the need to check now, since I’m just back at work now after a 24 hour bug. Don’t want to know what that’s done to my system, let alone “it’s” system.
