I got yapped at one too many times today so gathered my things together and walked away, literally. I had temporarily moved the truck/chipper ahead fifteen feet so the client's neighbour could get their car out of the drive (at the client's request), and my boss went ballistic because I suppose it did not have his papal blessing(note the tree was already down so it is not like I was creating a bad situation).
Either I could not drive fast enough, or I was getting lost, or I was ruining his firewood, or I could not start the saw because I was not strong enough...etc etc etc. I just got tired listening to this nausea day in day out. Yesterday I was having trouble starting the 036 and I was told my arms were weak-I said that was true as a matter of fact because my left one is held together with six bolts and 4 1/2 inches of steel. Dunno how he got the two trucks out of there because the other helper could not drive. I am sure this looked really good in front of his client and must have slowed production down a little today. I was going to quit on Tuesday anyways when he took a vacation break.
Life is too short to listen to people with other issues that take it out on the nearest perceived punching bag. What can I say-he beats his dogs. Hope I get the $600 he owes me.
This was not a very classy operation. Everything got spiked for starters. And some of the pruning jobs, well let me say I could have done better, though more slowly.
As for safety no chain saw pants, not helmets, and no eye or ear protection (not me). Ever seen someone feed brush scraps into the rollers of a Vermeer 635 with the table down with their hands??? Scary.
I think I really can do better......
