sometimes your the cow... sometimes the cow pie

[peach]

What we do is alot like that... nothing is going right - staff is being a pain, clients are being a pain, it's hot...

Then you get the nicest compliment and you have to say.. wow, maybe my job is worth it.

 

[fatboy]

Unfortunatelly, despite the hardest efforts, those compliments are few and friggen far between. But, we rise to the battle each day, right?

 

[jpranch]

It is. We surly didn't get into this for the compliments or the money. It's a passion.

 

[David Henderson]

Ditto, you guys doing the best we can is compliment enough.

"It is. We surly didn't get into this for the compliments or the money. It's a passion."

Most days, I would say it is an "affliction" rather than a passion! .

clients are being a pain, They will change

Peach ( and everyone else)

Whenever this job seems miserable and thankless I remember my best inspection ever. It was late December and I arrived to do a final inspection of a house that had a bad fire and had been repaired. The owner was there to see how things went. This project had taken months and I don't even know where the family had been living. Anyway, when I signed the permit and told her she could move back in she burst into tears and grabbed me in a big hug. She sobbed out "now we can have a real Christmas".

Darn right my job is worth it!
