just a question

[jonathan hall]

cos, today i didnt kiss any boss'es behind in an office.

today turned up late, hung about with a kiwi and a glasweigian in a feild, had some smokes, took the piss out of each other.

 

then did this....

(and went for a curry after, whilst most folk were still in the office.)

the answer is simple, try it and you will be able to answer that question yourself with a great big smile on your face.

 

i do it and i know what draws me to the job, its great when u can see the productivity of the job u have done for someone, being outside even in the rain, woods are amazzing place i love this job

Having worked in an office for the last 10 odd years i can say it has no benefits at all. Office politics really annoy me, the vending machines and Snack wagons make me fatter each day. So when i was away in Afghan last year i lost over a 2 stone and was healthier and less stressed as i was working outside.

I've since come back to my current job and it still the same with petty arguments and no thanks for doing a good job. Yes the money is good, but that doesn't make for job satisfaction.

 

So the outdoor work is for me, i don't want to sit and see the beautiful countryside pass me by when i could be part of it. So a career change is for me.

it cant always be about the money?? (can it??)

For what we do, most of us get peanuts.

It is about customer satisfaction. That happy face and the cry of "ooh you've made such a difference!"

Simple! As a boy i used to climb trees. So thought why not do it as a job!

As a student is something different you outside you climbing trees like you used to do as a kid not 1 day is the same you get to do things that you would never do in an office you get a buzz out of it climbing as high as you can till you look down then (brown pants) lol

 

Its fun its outside its something different from your 9till5 job

Today we felled 2 large sorbus, thinned out 4 more all on a small patch of grass outside some clients houses, then felled an alder at the rear of 1 of the properties, I knocked on the door after the work was done and the smile on the clients face said it all, absolute delight. All part of the rewards:001_smile: Did someone mention money?

Been working with a team in Hatfield Forest on veteran trees. Do I need to say more?

I looked at this thread and thought

 

'on this forum there is no such thing as 'just a question'.'.
