Try dealing with these aches and pains doing my job. I wear a tool belt that weighs about 20 pounds around my hips. All day, every day. I probably walk a couple miles every day and climb the ladder probably 50 times every day. And to top it off, I'm constantly lifting things over my head or pulling wires through conduit. Those are the days when I'm not on my knees all day or digging trenches. My joints are seriously dicked. To top it off, I've had a permanently broken bone in my back since high school.

At least you're getting paid.

If it has to do with balls, I'm sure he's already tried it.

At least you're getting severely underpaid paid.

I haven't got any kind of raise in a decade.

Lately, yes that's what we're mostly doing; but we do everything from residential to commercial to light industrial.

We're starting the process of making me a partner in the corporation, so I will be as well.

Yes I've done that before, but thanks for an excellent suggestion anyway.

FEI, the ball thing is an overblown fad and can actually increase pressure on your neck and upper back from lack of arm support, and you have zero lumbar support. Not saying it's bad or that it doesn't help me with posture, it does, but it's not for everyone.


I tried EJ's bathtub yoga today. It's weird.

Make sure you're erect. Then, it's better. Soooooo much better.

And all this not in comfy air-conditioned confines but rather areas that are often stuffy or even sweltering, I presume?

About 90% of my work is outside (summer and winter), yes. I'm blessed right now to be doing a mini remodel in a school though. At least I've got air conditioning until Aug 11.
