They didn't teach me that....

Just another day.....

Bees
I have a client who has a pear tree. Pear trees are a beautiful thing except for when you have golden retrievers who like to eat them as they fall, then you have bees who like the half eaten pears lying on the ground. For fear the dogs would bite into a pear and get a bee it was my job to hop to it and collect the fallen pears. Being the brave woman I am, and willing to do anything for my clients (within reason), I marched out there with leather gloves on and a bucket and fought the 15 bees gathered on each pear and threw them in the bucket. Meanwhile I was screaming and hopping "feeling" the bees flying up my pant legs. After I had gathered all the bees/pears and put them in the trash I was off to my next task. I had to head off to the vet to get some medicine for the dogs, when I walked in there was none on the shelf. The vet gals who know me by "P.A." saw the look of shock on my face as I noticed the shelf where the meds usually sit was now sitting empty. They explained tome that the meds were taken off the shelf because the company who supplies them is currently under investigation by the government...explain that one to your client.

Jesus carrying the cross...
I have another client who's house is on the market, as of today it is officially off the market. It was my job to make sure the sign was removed from the lawn today. If the realtor didn't come by to do it, it was up to ME! It was up to me and all my five feet six inches to pull this seven foot wooden sign stake that is 12 inches into the ground. IT was quite the feat and took some time but after lots of wiggling and grunting I was able to remove the sign. Then to carry this sign that weighed I swear 50 pounds across the lawn was rather amusing. This is where I felt like I was Jesus carrying the cross. As I trekked across the lawn, metal sign swinging with every step I finally made it to the final destination. It was a rather interesting task but was followed up with a "You're unstoppable and amazing" from my client. No worries, I did take a photo while walking down the driveway, I will post that soon!

All in a days work!
