There are two eternal struggles on any jobsite… tools and tunes. Let’s start with tools because, seriously, where do they all go? You know you had your tape measure five minutes ago, but now it’s vanished, probably into the same mysterious void as all of your missing socks. Then there’s the brand loyalty drama. If you’re not Team Milwaukee, Team DeWalt, or Team «It’s Just a Hammer,» you’re probably getting roasted for your choices.

And then there’s the jobsite playlist. The second most important decision after coffee. It’s a never-ending battle. One guy’s blasting country hits, the next insists classic rock is the only thing that belongs here, and then there’s always that one coworker who’s like, «Let’s put on a podcast.» A podcast. At 6 a.m., while you’re swinging a hammer? No thanks. Ultimately, no one’s happy with the compromise, so the playlist ends up being a chaotic mix of genres that somehow includes Taylor Swift, Metallica, and the occasional TikTok sound. It’s a beautiful mess, just like the job itself.
