Sucks/doesn't suck
Things which suck:
Losing my best solid metal utility knife this week.
Buying a cheapo off-brand knife as a replacement two days ago, then discovering that the piece of crap is virtually impossible to assemble. Note to self: do not attempt to save money by purchasing two-buck utility knives when it's practically going to cost you that much in gas just to return it to the store for a refund.
Crawling under the house on my belly for 30 minutes this morning in the dirt, rocks and cobwebs to check for subterranean termite tunnels.
Things which do not suck:
Finding no termite tunnels whatsoever in the crawl space. (No mummified murder victims either.)
Finding, propped up against one of the joist piers deep under the house, a solid metal utility knife of a good make and putting it in my shirt pocket.
Replacing the rusty blade in that knife with a new one (hey, it was there for probably fifteen years) and discovering it still works perfectly.
