    Well I love landscaping, it's a great job, but the money isn't that good and it's seasonal work. Plus, during the season, the only time I get a day off is if it rains. This job is a steady 40(ish) hours a week (plus one week a month of 24/7 on call) and about twice the money per hour. I just received my contract and I start on Feb. 20.

    Thanks guys

    Show a little thigh around the office and you'll rise to the top.

    That's great news.

    Do you still have the option to go back outside if you don't like being trapped in an office?

    Or take a bit of dirt and greenery inside?

    Yes, I can go back to landscaping anytime I want to, as long as my aunt needs an extra person. I might see if she'll let me work a weekend shift once in a while if the urge to cut grass strikes me.

    My grass is always available if you have the over-powering urge to do some mowing.

    Why does that read like it's innuendo, when it isn't even remotely.

    It's the multiple dubyas, JP.

    The phenomenon is a sub-strain of the more common anti-Bush ailment.
