Hit 200 flawless feet of smooth coat and then immediately ruined it

I was on a job in Fresno last Tuesday, running a long wall in a living room, and I got 200 feet of taping and mudding done without a single bubble or tear. Felt proud for about five minutes, then my knee bumped a bucket of water and sloshed it all over the fresh mud on the floor, ruining the bottom foot of the whole run. Has anyone else had a perfect day crash down because of one dumb accident?

That line about having a perfect day crash down really hits home. It's funny how life works that way, you know? I've noticed this pattern where every time I get too confident about something going smoothly, that's exactly when the universe steps in and reminds me I'm not in control. It's like the universe has a built in system for keeping us humble.

You mean "inherent" not "built in" but I feel you though.
