I've always joked with my coworkers that I'm so efficient because I'm lazy as hell. Why cut one piece of trim at a time when you can build a jig that allows you to cut 5 at once?

The upside: I look like a wizard with all the work I can get done and nobody wants to do my job, so I have plenty of security.

The downside: I get a lot of extra work and I can feel burnt out sometimes.
