Yet another thing about adulthood
Apr. 19th, 2009 06:56 pmYesterday I bought a reciprocating saw and a random orbit sander.
They just sold them to me. Gift card money, in fact.
I am amazed that they'll just let me out of the store with powerful electrical tools like that. Shouldn't I have to take a class? Get a permit?
It was scary to stand in front of all the miter saws and realize that I can buy one of _those_ whenever I want, too. I'm not ready for that sort of responsibility! (And also, I really hate circular saw noise even more than other power tool noise. As it is I need earplugs for things that do not bother typical human beings.)
I dunno, guys, I'm not really a grownup yet, I dunno why they're letting me buy a house and power tools and shit!
ETA: OMG I NEED A SHOPVAC!
