SMT components. Despite some initial trepidation, working with these horribly tiny parts turned out to be not as bad as imagined and soon I began dreaming about having my designs manufactured. The latter turned out to be a big disappointment however, and before I realised it, I spent entire days manually assembling circuit boards with tweezers, real drudgery therefore. It became so bad that even when I closed my eyes I continued to see the assembly line of SMT components moving along. And it will not surprise you that I had a slightly annoyed response when for my birthday I received a diamond painting, ostensibly for relaxation. According to the seller’s website, diamond painting is stress-relieving and you can make master pieces that take your breath away. Maybe that is so, but to me it looks suspiciously similar to SMT assembly.
