There’s always something that needs to be done around the house – whether we like it or not. That’s the nature of being a home owner – you always have something that needs fixing or replacing or both. And this is especially true when it comes to plumbing problems in your home or apartment and I recently ran into a problem like that. About a month or so ago I noticed an emerging damp patch on the ceiling of our hallway and realized there was a water leak up there somewhere. This wasn’t a job I was going to handle myself and I knew I’d be better off getting a leak detection company in to look at the problem for me.
After all I’m more of a professional speaker and debater than a DIY guy so I don’t try to work on things I’m not skilled at. It’s the same when my car breaks down or develops a problem. I could have a crack at it myself and potentially make matters worse or I can just drive it to my trusted mechanic and let him do what he does best – fix cars. If you need a speech written or a store opened I’m your guy but when it comes to DIY jobs and things like that they’re just not my forté.
Does that make me less of a man? Well not in my eyes. With the way life goes today it’s literally impossible to get everything that needs to be done all completed in a single day. There’s only 24 hours in the day so I’m pragmatic with my time and invest my time in what I can produce most from which is normally the things I’m good at – like being a political figure.
