When the lazy work hard

I am so lazy

When the work being done is for someone else!

Normally I would not spend even two hours on mowing the lawn or trimming a tree if it was for someone else, even if they did pay me way above the fair amount. Growing up I worked my ass off on our plot in hartbeespoort, planting and removing trees, digging dams etc.

Now I realize I actually did the minimum as when I went to school or made as if I had homework my step dad and staff would still be going at it. Oh the good old days!

I am now currently busy renovating our backyard in Pretoria, cleaning a trash dump and trees that were literally there before I was even born. I don't have homework, I don't have school, I work for myself and I am truly screwed when I get tired as the staff also magically disappear as soon as I can't see them anymore.

So, I have to keep working, keep directing and keep up to date with my business all at the same time just because I'm just to selfish to pay people to stand and look at the work needing to be done.

There is of course an upside as I have two partners who can manage the business without me when I am working in the yard and they don't mind it at all as the yard is where our office is. That's of course when I get even more tired because I know they are sitting in a room having coffee while working and I'm outside in the sun, dust and sweating as if I'm back at school and our rugby coach decided to have us do laps.

Anyway let's get back to my point...

I am a very lazy person and I don't really want to do work where I get dirty and my hands are full of blisters.

Then I get this VISION in my head of how amaze-balls it all will look when I'm done... 

Energy grows, you work harder, faster and boom it's lunch time. Try getting back into that pace after stuffing yourself with your mom's awesome chicken mayo sandwiches, it ain't easy!

Now after that hard ass working day you get home. You greet your dogs. You grab a super steaming shower and just chill out, now is when you are so pleased and proud that you write about it in your blog.

All in all a good day with awesome results. 

Opiniger out, keep it classy you renovating fools.
