jim, this is why you pay someone else to do it for you because

b, if they fuck it up they can fix it
c, they aren't you

on the other hand, if you CAN fix it WITHOUT fucking everything else up as is noted by your worldwide reputation as "jim'll fix it because jim's broke it" then go ahead and prove to these doubters that you do indeed have the ability to make things fixed
