- 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.
- When you bring lunch from home, you still trade your bag of chips for your buddy’s pudding cup — just like in elementary school.
- During the summer, you get gas more frequently than you need to just to get inside the air conditioning.
- When temperatures plummet, you silently curse yourself for not opening a retail store instead of a tree care business.
- You feel a sense of comradery with your fellow outdoorsmen working in the construction, landscaping and underground utility installation industries.
- Every day is casual Friday.
- Who needs to pay for a gym membership? Nature is your gym.
- You shower after work, never before.
- You’d pay big money to get a hot thermos of coffee delivered to the jobsite on a chilly fall morning.
- You never cease to be amazed by a beautiful sunrise.
- You have a better view from the top of a tree than from any corner office.
- Bug spray is always at the top of your holiday wish list.
