Really buttercup ! Suck it up ... I am lucky if they "start " to pay me after 60 days . And sometimes I have done 8 more job before the first is even PO'd out ... I mean our School system here doesn't even flinch at 90 days and they tell you plain English it's gonna be at least that long , I am owed money from when I was wearing a sweatshirt for the first time this year .... Payments are part of this gig not every Joe Schmo cuts a check as your putting on cones back on the truck ... Would be nice though

Right now I am owed 17K ... And I will get 2/3 K a month and do 2/3 K worth of new work for the same people they never catch up .... Ever ..... And it's just two of us I couldn't imagine that juggling act on a larger scale ... Frightful actually that's why I don't buy **** until it goes completely capooooot so I can not sweat payments when the well is dry

probably too hot... yeah i have heard people call them elder pines, dessert pines, afgan pines, australian pines... since they look similar (but the form varies with age) we lump all that #### into one... they get pretty big around here... i took one down last year that was close to 90ft... lots of sap and a boat load of cones...

thats how commercial work operates. you have to consider the wait time when quoting unless you are in the bank business. although its always nice to get paid upon completion.
 
It matters very little that people know other people owe me money .... But as the weather starts to turn , I will still be getting checks long after the machines have been parked . I just wish some time there would be a margin call ... And all debts were closed before the end I that business day ... Ahhhh to dream
 
The last thing I feel like doing when rolling off a job is seeing the client, no, just toss the cones on and beat it on home fer ah coll dringk, send a bill later. That way you don't gotta hear them talk anymore and ask a whole lot MORE ****ing questions.

And how many times do ya gotta say goodbye? And that whole "thank you" , " you're welcome" thing that goes back and forth? Thanks again and again til we don't even know what we are thanking each other for, probably just because we are both happy to be done dealing with each other. Whew! What a windy road that is, I'm exhausted!
