First of all I gotta say I don't know how any tree work gets done up there, something I can't fathom though have seen. People have to expect being snowed in up there. Down here people get indignant because they can't drive their rear wheel drive BMW with Perellis. Their expectations are quite different. Once I hear crap I start to take offense. No, we do not always get so much snow and ice BUT we do have storms regularly enough that they should expect the inconvenience. Hell, I have been telling people they are lucky to be alive in a heated area, they think I am joking! They say to me with astonishment, " Can you believe this!?" I am like, " Yes, though you seem to be having a problem with it." Oh these people who need AC, regular meal times and are petrified of mother nature all the sudden have to get the flowers in and the mulch down so they can go inside and look at it.
I kinda used to feel embarrassed about not getting to a job but am learning not to anymore. All of the clients I have had for years are still with me. Anybody that would get rid of me for some problem is bound to have that same problem with the next guy, probably even worse.
Ahh, there's no one else to talk to about this stuff, family just doesn't get it, you are so understanding Doc. Exactly- Just so they can look at their landscape from the inside or as they pull into the garage and close the door sealing off the home capsule so they don't have to breathe that nasty air outside. Wouldn't want to stay outside too long and chance getting bird flu or Lyme disease or sumpin!
