Dougs Third Go

I was stuck in the sun rendering outside of a big big "double" garage,,,,dreaming of cooler autumn and winter days on fells working my dogs. Don't get me wrong, I love sunshine and good high temps, just not working in them. But if the lotto or whatever came up so would a divorce probably, I'd be fishing in Argentina, Alaska, Norway, shooting in Hungary, Argentina and Highlands.....not a good recipe for a hubby and dad is it lol,,(I'll stick to the dreaming)

I'd bin it all off in a second if I could, don't get me wrong, I love my job but, I do get bored quite easily and feel the need for a new challenge. I'd be the perfect multi trader :D

well you have to look at it in diffrent ways there are people who work every day towing the company line but never see what they achieve on a day to day basis just do what they need to no more no less ,then we come to us the biggest credit snachers in the building trade well the builders have build the walls and so on the plubmers have done first fix then we come in after weeks of let downs and delays and we come in to all of this and turn a shell into a finished job in days the relief on the client face the job coming to the end .
and its all down to you ,so you look at what you have done in a few days .you are so lucky as every day you get to see what you have acheived that day when so many just push buttons and go home to yet do do the same the next day every day is a new day for you
take the time to stand and say thats what i did to day and i can see it and whats more my clients love it and cant thank for seeing the end of there nightmare credit snachers we are but we do it with grace and smile and can look back every day and see what we achieve
every day i would take that over money .i drove past a building i tilied over 25 years ago
the other day on the out side still looking good well when it comes to company slaves they just push buttons. every day is a new day to you some are hard some are easy but every day you think for your self .take a good look around you and count your blessing.your a slave to no man .
