Man, thats a big hated jobs list. Anything jobs you like?Mowing the lawn, housework, childrens' laundry, changing the beds, weekly shopping, mucking out the horses, growing the veg, doing the house bills, chatting to the neighbours, walking the dogs ...
Having said this, thats a top list and agree with almost it all bar growing the veg, as i dont touch plants or vegetables and the horses one(doesn picking up dog poo count?)Man, thats a big hated jobs list. Anything jobs you like?
Aye, that'll be the most expensive poop your dog will have ever taken if the wardens see it lol.I dont pick up dog poo, my dog knows how to hide it lol
but supposidly new laws kickin in in glasgow you get fined £500 for not pickin up your dog poo, seems they like to crack down on things like this but not illegal gas fitting

.....tiling!!!!!
Hate the tiling, hate the grouting, hate the adhesive....with a passion. Next year I'm going to push more wall cladding than tiling. Looks better too and washes down with a damp cloth and no more mouldy grout in the future. Plus it's very easy and quick to fit, downside is the price at bout £80 per sheet, but if you take grout and adhesive and the price of decent tiles, the price isn't too bad.I like tiling, it's the grouting, I detest with a passion.
i find when you get a run of jobs going fine, more or less to plan, few fun challenges to overcome, pleasant customers who are very pleased, decent pay, you get in your van and think 'this is a good job really. i'm my own boss, doing a sociable job, making decent money, being of service...'
then when you've had a panic, or a serious of frustrations, a spirit-wilting set-back, an annoying customer, feel you've let somone down or let your standards slip, when you end up wasting your time, being called back to the same job several times, then suddenly it's a stressful, unforgiving, combative and often lonely job.
my over-riding opnion of this job - in the relatively brief amout of time i've been doing it - is it is very up and down. but i reckon better up than down than complete predictability (office job.)
and sometimes after a really tough day, when i get in the van mumbling to myself about quitting and giving up, i find when i get home, smarting and throbbing and barely able to walk about, i find i have this sort of buzz. like i may have gone ten rouns with tyson but i'm proud of it. it's a sense of achievement. so yeah, all in all, for now, i'm of the opinion it's a good job.
but let's give it 10 years...
