Don't you hate it when....

Nothing has improved. Went to work this morning, snapped the only file I had in the truck. Had to sharpen my saws with a little 2" stub. That wasn't so bad though.

Got home this afternoon, realised I'd left my phone in a coffee shop. Was a month old, $850 gone. The bigger bummer was all the photos, client data, job records, customer and sub contractor numbers. I'm repairing this issue with beer currently.

Sorry about your phone. No fun at all.

Not that it helps you now, but there are programs that let you lock your phone remotely, erase it if you choose, take pictures remotely on your phone from your computer (you might see who has your phone) and send messages that will show up on the main screen to the person who has it.

Good luck.

I'd send you a photo, but... you know. No camera phone and all.

You'll just have to take my word for it that I'm 7 beers closer to a solution. I'm feeling more positive about it with each passing moment.

When they are calling for a 30% chance of freezing rain and the boss says "See everyone at 3:00am."

Never got my face but was in a weird position once and punched my nuts up into my throat when my hand slipped off.

I hit the 88 the other day half way through the pull it just stopped , it tore the skin off 2 fingers and it was cold , I have no idea what possed to just grab it and try to start it bare handed in the cold

 

[capetrees]

Limbed it all the way up, guys are whining about the cold and wet, decide to come down, get out of the gear and to go to lunch. Come back, re-gear, get to the top and first cut, the chain jumps the bar. Come down to fix, go back up and the saw is out of gas. Come down to refuel, etc ...

Sorry, the motor oil and the tranny fluid bottles look the same,,

The tracked chipper you hired and spent two hours cleaning gets the full cleaning charge because there a teensie bit of dirt UNDER the tracks

Really? I'd be saying something about that!

Drop the truck off for an oil/filter change and inspection stickers. Get the call that I need a new clutch and the final bill shows a new clutch, no inspection stickers and the wrong oil filters were used. Got home and had no lights.

Power went out and cable signal went on the fritz to one of the TVs. Called to have them send a new signal from central and yes, the TV that had problems was cured but the other one that was operating fine blew out the tube when they sent the new signal.

I gotta say, Jeff's comment wins hands down. The pull cord breaking and punching yourself in the face ought to be a representative symbol of tree work. I've got an itch to make a video about it. Clean shaven, competent looking professional tree worker all kitted up, confidently walks towards the tree looking all serious and business like. Cut to the second camera where he eyes the tree up and assesses the condition. Cut to third camera, he pull starts the saw and punches himself right in the face. All the professionalism is now gone as he starts cursing "****ing **** of a saw! Why the **** did I get into this work in the first place? **** this ****!" and he throws the saw down and walks off shaking his head and cursing

 

[sgreanbeans]

Ya wake up and the furnace is blowing cold air!!!! WTF!!!! Have the oven open and cranked up. Greaaaaaaaat, wonder what this is going to cost.

I wasn't happy, they argued it still needing cleaning, didn't have time to mess about and boss said pay it, I was more annoyed than he was

 

[tree MDS]

Pull cord breaks while starting your saw and you punch your face,,yup.
Jeff

Or when you're bucking a good sized log with the big saw and it kicks back and punches you in the groin with the rear handle. I can't be the only one this has happened to, can I?

Probably,,never put my groin behind the handle to cut.
