Look at what you’re doing and using spacial reasoning.

So many days, I think I was the only person at my work who played with 3d puzzles or Legos growing up.

This is why I’m thrilled to be working at a place packed with other AFOLs.

Sometimes I’m kinda dumb about this, but dear God I agree.

We use these things call E Track Straps at work for years. They only really work right in one position, but for some reason, I’m the only one who can put them in the right position. I don’t think anyone’s even managed it by accident.

But yeah, growing up, legos, block toys, kinetics, things like that. When I got into video games, I always preferred the FPS games. Things like Quake or Halo needed you to understand the map layout and plan around the physics of the players and weapons.

I’ve always tried to do this and conceptualized it as “square up to your work”. I would love to teach my sons this. I was just finding myself at weird angles trying to do something or having the tools or items I was using scattered. It helps so much to get your space organized!

I didn’t realise how much other people didn’t do this until i looked at a corner for five minutes, then came back having built a basic speaker stand that fitted perfectly and the husband lost his goddamn mind

(I mean basic, i just cut a base down and mounted a pole on it)

What do you mean by fitted perfectly? Like it had a right angle to fit in the corner or something more than that?
