What recognition do you want to recieve? Its just a job, its only there to pay for holidays and beer and women ( I don't mean pay for them directly, by the hour or anything!!)

 

Of course its great job if you enjoy it, but making others appreciate what you do will always be like shoveling smoke.

 

I don't think I have it as sorted as I would like and SB (SWB) may have found the perfect balance, I'm still trying. But recognition is the last thing I need, a few more top clients and I'd be happy.

 

And I think there is a good balance between HSE requirements and waht you refer to as elite BS, that can be achieved so you get good work but without being too arsy about it all.

 

I may be skilled in tree work but there are aspects of running a business that I find really really hard, much harder than any tree I've done and I don't always think I have the skills to achieve what I want but I keep trying.

 

Thats just it rupe, it isnt just a job to me, it is my life! i know its sad, but i just love what i do and yes I want the recognition for this and the knowledge i have.

 

i want to make a difference, i want to get well paid not for kudos or material purpose but to be able to continue my growth and knowledge without having to live in a Shole of a house cos i cant afford to live!

 

it is the people like me who give up a life for the sake of getting focusesd and getting on that pay the biggest price, and we darn well DESERVE some Fin recognition and a decent pay grade for that if nothing else!

What else can i do? There is no place I would rather be than in the woods with trees and fungi, lichens and deer, woodpeckers etc etc.

 

I am like a kid in this environment, at 37 i still can tap into something that makes me five years old again and that is something millions of us fail to find in their entire lives, ive had it all my life, i couldnt give it up, it would be a travisty.

[Albedo]

i'm nuff skilled me !!

 

innit

[Rupe]

Its my life too (except beer and women, oh and cinema) (oh and mountainbiking, and DIY) (oh, my friend and family) (well not so much my family) but other than that (oh, did I mention beer) other than that it is my life.

 

 

Sorry, seriously, imagine it being your life and lovign it BUT not wanting recogntion. How great and fulfilled would your life be then? You'd have everything, and then you might even get some recognition as well?
