It's the outdoor picnic bench you built beautifully but didn't apply a finish, so it silvers and splits after one winter. It's the outlet you painted over instead of unscrewing the cover, now sealed shut until somebody needs it in a hurry…. The job got done. The shortcut is patient. It bites you in the end. And it’s all part of being human.
