I've been so ridiculously bored lately. I seriously think teaching is the way to go.
I applied for a city job, which would have been more of a lateral move and somewhat unrelated to most of my experience, a couple of months ago. Guv'mnt holidays!

My current job is boring as ***, I miss my old job, I wish my contract hadn't ended... I mean it got extended for 3+ months due to my awesomeness, and the one manager didn't want me to go, but her hands were tied at that point, due to budget cut backs...

If you teach, I have one request. Please educate them that 1x4 and 1x6, and all 1x material is NOT the actual 1"x4" and 1"x6", etc. 3/4"x3-1/2"!!!!!!!!!!! EVERY. TIME.

could be a fun change of pace. I'm starting to think repetition eventually leads everything into being just a bbbbbbooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. So in my twisted view, I may as well change my reaction to being bored, rather than the activity to that led me there. who knows, an endless supply of cocaine & 10,000$ hookers would get boring eventually me thinks.

Maximilian Sterling is a character from the series Robotech, where our friend skull here derives his name from another thing in the series, several different series were translated into basically the same cannon for a US release as "Robotech."
I said it in the way I did to poke a bit of fun.

I have no idea what that would be in your evil Canadian metric system... '_'

^^^Sometimes I wonder if people were asleep during foundational geometry, because of this reason. How do people not understand measurements when they come out of elementary school, even if you're on the layman level?!? Some subs! Not you. I'm just with you on the BASIC math tangent.^^^

Nor your mind! BUM BUM BUM!
EDIT: Their minds aren't ready! That seems more appropriate.

which begs my previous question again, won't something else eventually become just as mind numbing again due to repetition?
I've been thinking so. I could be wrong.
idk.

people get confused by the misnomer of a 1x4 isn't exactly 1x4 inches, if I understand him right, and I didn't really know that off the top of my head, or if I did I don't recall, I used to do a bit of volunteer construction but it's been over 10 years...
When moved to 1" thick material, the boards are called 5/4 boards. I have seen like 2 architects correctly call it that, usually they just go with "1" thick material" and its understood too. But this comes up as a problem cause a lot because the flat boards are being used more for trim, specifically base, and 1"x4" is 5/4x6 ripped down to 4" tall/wide, making it a custom run material. Then everyone harps over the high cost and it goes down to something sane. But every time I have to go through this exercise...
BTW, they are called 1x4 cause 1" x 4" are cut out of the tree log. It is Sanded on 4 Sides, aka S4S, down to a smooth surface for finish.

I'm sure, but I would hope that there would be more opportunities for variety.
I think we all need to go get a nice adrenaline rush! Quick! Grab your waterskis! We're going to San Francisco Bay!!!

OK I vaguely recall hearing something about that, but wouldn't have thought about it. Good thing to know when I'm drawing out plans for my new desk and entertainment center, as I'm tired of not being able to find what I want, so I'll build my own. I just need to find somebody with a table saw, and a few other tools to build it right.
