Wedding or stump grinding ?

[Gnome]

You got many jobs today Stefan? nice day in the Shire. Going for a walk with the wife to see the Tour of Britain roll through the town.

The 'something special' will cost more than you earned stump grinding.

 

That's an interesting question....

 

Can you tell us, roughly / ball park, what the job earned you Stephan?

 

Maybe it'd be easier to understand then:

 

(1) £100 v potentially letting the Mrs down

 

(2) £500 v .....................

 

(3) £1000 v ....................

 

(4) £2500 v .................

 

(5) £5000 v .............

 

(6) £10,000..........

 

(7) £25,000........

 

(8) £100,000.......

 

(9) £250,000

 

In the circumstances you describe, I reckon the majority would have a point on a sliding scale where they might follow your lead, question is, what is the critical mass?

 

Genuinely, for me, it would have to be greater than (3) gusting (4) and a great portion of that money would then have to be sidelined to the direct benefit of wife & baby.

Personally I prefer stump grinding to going to weddings.

 

Years back I had agreed with my missus to go to a wedding. Wasnt keen, hated weddings but had agreed because lots of people we knew would be there etc, I had some stuff to sort so would meet her there.

 

Had been fixing gear at home so left a little late on my honda fireblade, then bumped into a mate going out of my street which ate more time, but making up time is what bikes are for. Hit the motorway and came across a brennan supercharged V8 commodore who wanted to play. Jesus that car was fast, well over 500hp and we played powerball for a bit. Was having such a great time, when my turn came up, I half thought about keeping the game going. Thought better of it and headed for the venue.

 

Got there, bike and I were a mess of 200kmph bug splatter which was noticed by others but I was on time.

 

Got changed and married my wonderful lady half an hour later.

 

Never been to a wedding I liked!

Worth a thought.....

 

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man.... Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

- The Dalai Lama

 

 

- Yes, BUT........has His Holiness ever experienced the power and bliss of a Predator38RX Radio Controlled Tracked Stump Grinder at FUUULL THROTTLE!!!!11!......if not....he has never really lived.

On reflection, (3) wouldn't cut it, it would have to be (4) and above

I am delighted to see the market got so few dedicated workers, it makes it so much easier for myself in time to come. Vice words from Jaime bray thanks.... Such an awesome response to the post thanks all, it serves a purpose.
