There are days....

Darren:
Hey mate I'm still trying to work out an early advance warning system for the "other one" who lives here ... never mind my own troubled days  :lol:

Bernd:
Believe it or not there is a rhythm. Way back when computers first came out I had an Atari that ran a program that had a bio-rhythm program. If I remember right they were mental, physical, and emotional. You would type in you birth date and it would give you three curves as to were those cycles were at that day. I didn't believe it so I followed my bio-rhythm for a year and it was pretty interesting as to how they were true. If all three were at a peak in your cycle you would have a good week. If both were in a valley you should stay in a easy chair and read a book. It was pretty scary on how close that program was. Remember the whole world works on a cycle, so why not a person.

Wonder if such a program is avaiable today for our more powerful computers?

Ned Ludd:
For any of you wishing to replicate Bernd's test, keep a diary for a year THEN check your Bio-rhythms. Let's be objective
in our research.  :whip:

Bio-rhythms may have an effect but I suspect they are more likely to be used as an excuse after the fact.
Personally when things go wrong for me, more common than I would have hoped, I have no one but myself to blame. Well, no one except those pesky little workshop Gremlins who keep nicking or hiding things, which causes frustration and bad temper and cock-ups. :bang:

IMHO:

The biggest cause of workshop cockups is probably lack of concentration - either because you're on a timetable (and can't afford for anything to go wrong - ironically, this just makes it all the more likely), or general tiredness, or other things on your mind...

Of course, once you start making errors due to lack of concentration, the anger & frustration kicks in & that just makes it worse. This is especially true if you have a recalcitrant tool (such as my comedy bandsaw) or a lost tool (put the screwdriver down, turn through 360 degrees. On a bad day, the screwdriver will be gone. On a good day, it'll be there and it's long lost cousin will be right there with it. Cherish the good days...)

As soon as a tool or part makes you angry, it's time to turn everything off and find somewhere that sells alcohol. Or, failing that, you can go have a good old moan on an internet forum with like-minded souls who will probably commiserate.  Nice one  :D

I am sure there are. I had one on my Android phone a few months back.

Ade...

I have had days like that. I have had days like that in a row... make it a weeks worth of days like that! Sometimes it is best to put the tools down and walk away.
