Persevere

Persevere (per·se·vere)
To persist in a state, enterprise, or undertaking in spite of counterinfluences, opposition, or discouragement.

Yesterdays hijinks in the office started off with the undertaking of screwing a white board to the wall. One might think that given the proper tools this would be a small and menial task. But not around here. "Proper tools" is a phrase best used on a job site where building done. Around here, the only building ever done is on a computer. So Screwing a white board to the wall can only be done with the help of three people, two inch deck screws, and a power drill better left on a different job site. The said party going about this undertaking asked for my help, but help I would not. But I would sit back and enjoy the show that was undergoing.

Asking everyone in the small office and using a little guilt/persuasions the said party went about his task. But the hard white board would not let these pesky long screws through there thick hides. Instead it almost cost a finger on the first go round. Had this been me I would have been happy letting the white board sit on my desk and fall on me once a week. But no, not my interoffice companions. This was a task they would not fail at. So off they go to rewrite more help. After a few tries and a visit to an office across the hall they find out that the best way to do this is just to use the screws drilled into the wall to hold it in place. Not to be drilled through the white board. So lesson of the day, persevere till it is done. Or just wait tell you have the proper tools for the job. I say go with the right tools.
