We Have Fun
I love my job. I get to work in all kinds of places and by the time a job starts to get old, I get finished and it is time to move on to the next one. Most of all I like the people I work for. If I didn't already have a name for my company I would call it something like Exorcist Paint Co. I like to get into a place that is hideous, that haunts the occupants, and run off the bad vibes and bring on a fresh, new outlook. I hate the oppression bad surroundings bring.
People call on me when it is time for change in their lives. It is my job to guide them safely to the restful waters and the green pastures they so desire and deserve. My greatest hope in practice of my craft is that I truly improve peoples' lives. My greatest fear is that when I am done that I have not lived up to my craft.
I love the struggle. I love understanding that change is upsetting, but having sure knowledge of how to push through difficulties with the aid of good plans. I love working with people and seeing them come together over a labor of love.
Sometimes the latest news brings me down. But my world is with those I love. If the news is bringing you down get a fresh perspective. Grow and change! Have some fun- get something done.
Aren't I a sap?
