Me, for getting really (really) pissed off with myself yesterday, trying to do something VERY accurately.
I was accounting for kerf (ie thickness of a cut) on a tricky material, making a test cut, calipering, then adjusting the source file to add the kerf. Every time I did this, it was off. I went through like four things before it dawned on me what a completely stupid motherfucker I was being:
After each cut and calipering, I was referencing the dimensions of the amended design - NOT the original, so each time I changed a design, the size of the output would change too. i could have gone on forever like that... .
I say this as I've just seen a piece of one of the smashed bits of plastic in a corner here after I threw it across the room in an incoherent, spastic rage.

I don't even smoke weed any more and have cut down on the booze - I thought I was supposed to get smarter..?
- I usually have a small window each week when I actually feel switched on and able to not be a dunce. This week it was Wednesday evening.Fax_Benson

- I genuinely feel like I'm making more mistakes since cutting down on naughty things - perhaps I'm simply noticing them more?Nairn
- ha, yeah. nothing like sobriety to bring one's shortcomings into focus.Fax_Benson
