DIFM or Do It For Me
This is a new term and I made it up all for myself and now I am sharing it with you. Because I know you feel my pain.
DIFM stands for Do It For Me! I have had just about enough of all of this DIY crap. I work, I have kids, I have to clean my house and now you think it would be a good idea for me to re-tile my bathroom. By myself? Think again buddy. If I were good at tiling it would BE my job. But it ain’t my job which would leave one to conclude that I am not really not any good at it. And really - what’s the learning curve here? I only have one bathroom so why would I want to learn to do something that I am only ever going to do once in my lifetime. My brain is already overloaded with useless once in a lifetime info like how to put together an Ikea bookcase. By the time I finish the last tile it might look ok but what the 300 tiles that came before that final good one. They would look horrible and we both know it. I will either have to live with my rotten crooked tile job or pay a professional to remove all of it and do it again correctly. So here’s a thought – why don’t I just have them do it for me right from the git go. It actually saves me a lot of money and time and I will certainly feel so much better and a lot less frustrated. And after all, it is all about me? So when it comes to re-tiling my bathroom I will love picking out the tile and the grout and then I will happily wait for the professional to come and DO IT FOR ME.
