whats so physically hard about stump grinding anyway ?

 

 

Are you getting mixed up with the "I work so hard I sometimes get tired" thread?

Nothing hard about it, doing a shift job as a welder on top on it, the lack of sleep is the part I consider challenging.

Read what I have written Stefan, working hard is admirable but there comes a point when you destroy yourself doing so. My old man calls me at two in the morning sometimes to ask if he can work in the morning and at sixty he's better than any young lad when I say yes.

Not about money it's about getting each job done as fast as possible, so next can be done

My question specifically is about money. What was the ballpark figure for you to decide working was a better option than the wedding? Which of the options was closest. Your answer is in the reply. If you were getting 10k for a days work then no one on here would moan. If you were out for a day for 200 quid then you will see where everyone is coming from

Apologies if it's already been mentioned Stefan, but I'm sure the reason your fiancé is upset is because she is concerned you have more interest in work than in your own wedding to her. No one wants to go to anything social without their other half because it's always better with them there even if it's awful. It means you can laugh together afterwards. She wanted to share the experience with you because she loves you. You didn't go which is perfectly acceptable. In fact one of the reasons she loves you is probably because of your superb work ethic. But spare a thought for how she may have felt a little awkward there especially as she would have been comparing how happy the couple appeared to yourselves and your own wedding day. She probably feels a little detached from you right now so tell her how much she means to you and how happy you will be on your wedding day. You don't have to say you were wrong because you weren't. You did what was right for you, which isn't the same as what is right for others in their relationships. But put your self in her shoes ( not literally)and let her know you understand why she is upset. Also get some sleep, it is very important when you work so hard.

Stefan fecks sake man! You're a long time dead and a short time alive, I know there's plenty of time to sleep when you are dead but why not enjoy some of the time you're alive!

 

My tag line in the army used to be "boys there's plenty of time to sleep when you're dead" that was a joke to make the lads fight up near sangin. In the real world you seem to live by it though!

Good point:lol: If I wandered about all my days in my curtains I would have a very different perspective on life.

 

True, I love the 'words of wisdom' given by people who dont have any concept of the real world. Just think a good few thousand years ago he would have spent 16 hours gathering food how lucky is he and us not to have to do that now.
