"All you do is climb trees"

 

- What my girlfriend said to me this morning ! She has no idea what our job can entail even after I have explained and showed photos etc etc.

 

What would your response be to this ?

They don't get it so no point trying to explain it, best thing to do is when you have a big balls out job on ask her along as you want someone to photograph you while you work or some such feeble reason so she comes along feeling important and not just you want to show off to her then she can see what's involved.

Just don't show off too much nd make it look too easy ells she will think it just playing about with toys n trees.
