Anyone in the trades knows there is a warped sense comradely amongst us, namely, the good natured ribbing we like to dish out to one another. I fell victim to some of that ribbing today.
I got to the jobsite a little late this morning. As I arrived and made my way over to the building I passed one of the electricians I work with regularly. I say "Good morning Tom.' His reply, "I guess that rockstar lifestyle keeps you up late so you can't make it in early anymore." I didn't give his comment much thought as I walked in. As I just get through the door, Mike, one of the plumbers says "Hey, it's the Festool rockstar". Then all the rest of the guys start in on me.
As it turns out Chris, one of the plumbers loves Facebook. Well, last night he was checking out Facebook when stumbled onto the Fastool page there. As luck would have it, this week there were a couple of posts about yours truly (unbeknownst to me). Here?s what one of the posts says: "Brice Burrell, a carpenter in Pittsburgh, is truly a Festool rockstar and here's just another example of that...." A Festool rockstar, come on. [embarassed] This is exactly the kind of ammunition you can't let the guys get of hold of. So I imagine for at least the next few weeks I won't be able to live down my rockstar title.
[thanks] So, I'd like to thank all of my good friends over at Festool USA for my new found fame. I can telling you, sometimes fame isn't all it's cracked up to be. [tongue]
