12 things that happen when you work outside all day

Things that happen when you work outside
  1. You basically live out of your truck because you never know when you’ll need a winter jacket, a clean T-shirt and sun screen… in the same day.
  2. When you bring lunch from home, you still trade your bag of chips for your buddy’s pudding cup — just like in elementary school.
  3. During the summer, you get gas more frequently than you need to just to get inside the air conditioning.
  4. When temperatures plummet, you silently curse yourself for not opening a retail store instead of a tree care business.
  5. You feel a sense of comradery with your fellow outdoorsmen working in the construction, landscaping and underground utility installation industries.
  6. Every day is casual Friday.
  7. Who needs to pay for a gym membership? Nature is your gym.
  8. You shower after work, never before.
  9. You’d pay big money to get a hot thermos of coffee delivered to the jobsite on a chilly fall morning.
  10. You never cease to be amazed by a beautiful sunrise.
  11. You have a better view from the top of a tree than from any corner office.
  12. Bug spray is always at the top of your holiday wish list.
