60 feet of mud later I realized my swing angle was all wrong

I was working the lower Mississippi near Baton Rouge for 3 weeks straight and kept wondering why my production numbers were so low. My buddy Mark from the night shift finally watched me for 10 minutes and pointed out I was digging at a 40 degree angle instead of the 20 I thought. Checked the gauge and sure enough I had been reading it wrong since day one. Anyone else get stuck in a bad habit like that and have a coworker set you straight?

Mark caught me doing the same thing last month.

Ugh yeah I just started keeping my phone face down on the table when I'm with people. It's annoying at first but it actually works.
