whadja do today?

[tree MDS]

I've got a help wanted ad in the paper, so I just went through my voicemail cleaning it out because it was full. I got to this on guy that called yesterday, his voice was already super low and slow as he rambled on about his experience, etc. Well I never realized I can slow the playback down on messages on my iPhone. What a great feature!! I just sat here listening to this guy for like five minutes and laughing my ass off! It was like I blacked out and had an acid flashback of my entire tree career!! If I could just figure out how to put that on a continuous loop and play it over the shop radio, I think I could finally find the courage to hang myself!!

Was his name Pete who's going to Portugal or something? Called the office the other day. Literally sat there for 5 minutes saying nothing as he rattled threw his experience. Reminded me of Frank Rizzo calling the car dealership for a salesmans job. " I cut trees down tough guy! I'm good, real good, I put that **** on the ground!"

Another stop on the wind damage train from a week and a half ago.

The well was about 3 feet from the base of the tree and it actually bent the well casing when it went over. Ground the stump yesterday and will finish clean up the debris tomorrow.

Hopefully the last wind damage from this go round. Took 5 1/2 hours. Not bad for an old timer and a college girl (and my favorite mini loader).

Had one guy last week leave a nearly 7 min message on how I couldn't expect anyone to work for that price, I should pay at least $30/hr, i should include beer and a car, etc, etc, etc.

I can only guess either special snowflake or ex .gov worker than made probably double what he should have.
I suppose he'd expect me to do his job, wipe the sandwich crumbs off his chin and help him toilet too?

I went ahead and right hooked that pitbull in the temple, his eyes went like a slot machine for a second and I don't remember ever throwing a better right hook, much less landing it so solidly.

He tried to blitz me as I was clambering out of the basement after beating on the boiler for two days. I had a wrench in my left hand and a Gerber on my belt which I need to cut through all the baling twine these women leave all over the place. They are like tumbleweeds around here and if you are unprepared they will snare you up. The women and the twine.

I stopped carrying a gun because it made me feel a little self conscious firing off rounds in the middle of all these little kids riding horses.

But we are buddies now, well, not really. He just stopped caring about me after I laid down on the ground on my back with my arms and legs sticking up in the air. That's all it took and now he don't even look at me anymore. The Snausages didn't even work, I think he only ate them because he is a dog and really has no choice but to eat stuff like that whenever possible. Its in their blood... like fighting dogs is in mine.

Women, mostly, seemed appalled that I counter with instant and greater brutality and, even though, I don't ask if they would just stand there and let the dog attack them I picture it in my mind.

It happens every few years and there have been quite a few attacks so don't get the idea I go looking to hurt animals but I got to say I sure get into when its happening.
