Shiny Object Syndrome

Doggone Distractions…

We had a client ask if we could wrap a Boston Dynamics robot dog named Spot. I had seen videos of these amazing robots in the past. So while we would otherwise never take on a job this small, I had to see this thing on our shop. They brought it by and wouldn’t you know it, it turned into a non-profitable activity – turns out it needed to be disassembled, painted, and reassembled. While very fun, it was not really a great job. Stick to the plan and stop chasing shiny objects. Focus at work, play at home.
