Nah, it's just I haven't gotten comfortable with the mechanics of the whole thing. I work a lot of two-man, and stopping the clock, finding the whistle, signaling to stop the clock, I haven't figured out how to do everything gracefully yet.

I see other guys with the whistle in their mouths and they manage. I guess I just can't do that, but I feel like I'm always trying to find the thing when I need it.

I wish they made a whistle where your first blow activates it and your second blow makes the sound. That would solve a lot of my problems.

Any other suggestions, I'm all ears.
