Well, it appears that God doesn't want me to change careers just yet. I have spent 6 months trying to find a job doing ANYTHING but climbing, and have not even been able to get an INTERVIEW!! I finally picked up the phone book yesterday and called the 1st 6 tree companies that I thought I would be willing to work for (ignoring the ones who advertised 'topping' in their ads). I got 5 answering machines and one live company owner. I set up an interview for this morning, and went to work today. The job was trimming 23 Washingtonians about 40-45 feet tall, and cutting down 5 dead ones. I HATE palms, especially 'tones with the thorns on the fronds! But I managed to get it all done today, crawled home with my $400 and sat in the hot tub for 45 minutes till the pizza got here.
I just got back from the Sherrill website where I ordered some safety stuff I need. My ropes are all about 3 years old, and I lost some stuff since I quit climbing. Got some rope, a throwball, a lanyard and new straps for my gaffs. More will come later, as soon as I get caught up on my bills.
D A M N I hate palm trees!!! But they pay good!
