It’s been a while since I’ve done anything enjoyable at work. My current position involves a lot of numbers and a lot of paper work, but very little hands on work and it really sucks. Today, I got a slight reprieve.

My store has an audio room specifically set up with mid range audio equipment that needs a little more attention and finesse than a home theater in a box setup. Unfortunately, since I tend to work with people who don’t give a crap, the room often find itself torn apart. In this case, about 80% of the speakers weren’t working for one reason or another. It took a few hours, but I managed to fix it up as best I can given the power issues that are also plaguing the room.

It just felt good to work with my hands again, you know? I love that work and it’s the work I’m best at. Though the pictures are a little blurry because I mixed a dark room with a camera phone, you can see some of what I did. In the first picture, you can see the completely stripped down wall. In the next picture, you can see the final work. Everything was functional.
