A little humour for your day

'Don't know what it is about you tree swinger guys, but my trimmer, Lui from S. America, also swings around in big trees with a chainsaw hooked to his belt. I asked him if he was a circus acrobat or what. He said no, but he does have a trapeze hanging in his house! He is an interesting, fit, smart tree guy whose employees have impressed me in that, even with the dangerous and hard work, their attitudes are really positive as they work their tails off too.

My wife likes Lui cuz he looks and sounds just like Antonio Banderas and he gracefully moves through the trees just like Zorro! :D

Sometimes the trees fight back but that’s just part of the job!
 
Maybe they just need better bosses that can motivate, encourage them, teach them, and occasionally knock their inflated ego back to reality.
I can honestly say I've only ever had one boss like that. What a different mindset that was loving who you were working for. Something to keep in mind, but I'm not telling you anything I don't think your not aware of.
 
Didn't buy the house but did graduate just after tuition was raised to $230 per quarter.
It didn't seem so at the time but tuition at the state U where I matriculated was embarrassingly low in retrospect. Off campus housing wasn't too bad either, manageable with a 20 hour a week construction job.
