I don't know how things are there but here, this can be really thankless work at times. Some people are really happy and you know this mainly by the volume of references. Other people are just not happy no matter what you do.
In Germany, people seemed to really appreciate you. They would give us lunch, coffee, and tip each crew member. It is not like that here.
I worked for the sweetest old lady yesterday. 2 half dead hackberries. I sent them down piece at a time and it was a good days work. She almost talked my ear off when I would stop for a minute. When we finished, she came out and offered to pay me $250 extra and was so appreciative. I told her I wouldn't take more than my quoted rate.
It has been a long time since I have had a customer so nice.
Old trees like old people are our living connection with the past. Go see them both, and discover something about yourself; discover something about our history. It’s better than reading about it.
The more I learn about customers and human nature, the more I learn about myself.
