You can go to workshops about time management, read countless articles about work-life balance and yet nobody can truly understand the juggle of a restorer, well, like a restorer can.
Schedules, lists and plans can fly out the window in minutes. We watch the weather, have alerts on pending threats sent to us and yet all the planning, foresight and preparation can’t completely control chaos that is just around the corner at any time. Just last week, I went to my office to take a phone call. It was quiet, you could hear the tap of keyboards, the hum of the copier and only 20 minutes later after completing my phone call, as I walked out of my office, the phones were ringing off the hook and people were running out the door with work orders, supplies and smiles on their faces.
