Been asked why I'm tired

[treequip]

Nice, talk is cheap, doesn't display much respect for your wife/partner and I guess you don't have a daughter of your own

 

Well said that man

Intresesting thread. It was said earlier that a lot of people think they work harder than others and some on this thread are definitely guilty of that.

Brickwork can be exhausting it can also be relatively easy. In general I think people should have respect for other people's trades. The fittest climber would struggle against an experienced builder on site and vice versa. We get used to what we do and develop the muscles we need.

I did an apprenticeship as a bricklayer, although I don't do much of it now, I spent the last few weeks building a retaining wall from dense concrete blocks, on quite a steep hill. I resent reading that this is easy or that all bricklayers are stupid. I do general building,oak framing, some arb work and quite a lot of milling in season and each job has its challenges.

And to the op he's your father in law it's his job to rib you. Suck it up with respect.

I'm sure he had to work a little harder when he had a young family to raise. Do you intend to work as hard your whole life. I'm 37 and in a position where 4 days a week is enough for me. I have no desire to go back to 6 or 7 long days a week.

Sounds like u do allot of things do u climb trees or do just do arb work 😉 u make some valid points but weather a father in law or not stupid questions are not required I may add this was from a man who has never driven a mile in his life so yes laying bricks is hard work u say I beg to differ but ur entitled to your view after a 8hr shift and lots of tea and lifts to and from sight u think this is even close to contract climbing and driving long distances to and from sights the fact that as a climber u not only look after ur safety the groundsman and the public plus whatever is around u or under the tree this level of concentration required in the kind of tree work that subby climbers do well what I seem to get is not hedges and little back garden pruning it's has to be done fast safe and to a high standard with often time pressure because it's a under priced or the company has a big work load and wants the job completed in less time than it would take there employees that's why ur there i really don't think that unless u do it u would understand! Happy milling

I bow down to your superior abilities. Maybe one day I could scale to the heights of someone so hard working and far more important than lowly other trades. I consider my self told and far more humble when it comes to my own abilities.

Damn right! Know your place boy!

It's pointless coming back at you with anything else. You obviously already decided that you know the ins and outs or every other trade but tell me I just wouldn't understand because I'm not worthy because I don't climb for a living.

Could say the same thing my self but choose to accept that all work has its challenges. And lots of work is equally as hard as other work.

Better go on strike for more pay like the junior doctors!

 

I love these sort of statements.

 

Have you read last weeks leaked risk lists, the ones where senior civil servants that are trying to work out how to run the NHS Seven days a week have told Jeremy Hunt that what he's trying to do won't work, backed up by senior NHS managers. Both sides admitting there aren't enough qualified staff to do what Hunt plans. And there won't be even by 2020.

 

The planned strikes have very little to do with junior doctors striking for more pay.
