To Keep Up With Growing List of Project Car Jobs, Local Man Hires Another Whiteboard
Original Whiteboard Overwhelmed and Burned Out by Backlog Dating Back to 2005
TEMECULA—After years of watching his project car list grow at a pace that outperformed his ability to get off the couch and wrench, local enthusiast Brandon Gonzales announced Monday that he had hired a second whiteboard to help manage the massive list of unfinished jobs.
According to Gonzales, the decision came after his original whiteboard suffered what experts described as “burnout” following years of tracking suspension upgrades, wiring repairs, and parts waiting on other parts that were still sitting in unopened boxes.
“It just couldn’t take it anymore,” said Gonzales while carefully transferring seventeen years’ worth of unfinished projects to the new hire. “Every time I added a new task, I don’t think I ever deleted one. It was becoming an unhealthy work environment.”
Coworkers say the original whiteboard had become visibly overwhelmed in recent months, with task lists extending into the frame, arrows pointing toward other arrows, and several jobs circled so many times that the ink started bleeding through to the back and onto the door.
“It’s been carrying this garage for years,” said neighbor Alex Ramirez. “The poor thing hasn’t seen a blank corner since Cheney shot his homie.”
Gonzales says the new whiteboard will primarily focus on drivetrain work, electrical gremlins, and organizing the hundreds of parts currently sitting in cardboard boxes labeled things such as “Important” and “Don’t Throw Away.”
Sources say the onboarding process was delayed after Gonzales discovered he needed to mount the second whiteboard, so he added “Install Whiteboard” to the original whiteboard.
Since then, Gonzales has yet to complete any of the tasks on either whiteboard, instead opting to move tasks from one to the other and back again. He has reportedly started shopping for a third whiteboard after realizing the second one would need somewhere to keep track of the first two.
