Rigsby work every get u down and what did u do to to get over it
Yes, diagnosed with Stress in 2011 so stopped giving a s**t a bit.
But then not getting stressed caused people to not give so much a damn and customers got more awkward. Watching my business not being the best it was and not being prepared to get stressed out to maintain order then got diagnosed with depression in February last year.
So started to wind down. The tablets made me not give too hoots about anything but made me lazy. Doctor told me to get off them and sort my life out. 37 years of self employment has took its toll.
Needed a final push to get me to quit. Wife is now ill and needs my care. So thats my excuse to get out of the rat race. Doing a bit part time for someone else as and when but glad to be out of it.
Business that is, not the job. Just turn up now with a bag of tools. Do as I am instructed, get paid and bugger off. Should have done it 5 years ago just didn’t have the balls. Fear of loss and all that.
Done ok though financially. Read the book, The Richest Man in Babylon. That sorted my pension out.

Rigsby what would you do if you were missing invoices for the t man and can find or trace back
Did u turn to drink
Wish I was like you mateNo way. Happy tablets and drink doesn’t mix.
Like a can of John Smiths. Might have too in a heat wave but no more.
Dont smoke, or eat greasy food. Watched the tv program, You Are What You Eat.
Use stairs instead of the lift. Bit of daily yoga.
Rigsby would you skim for 250 a meter if you had to ,or f**k it offFunny
Rigsby ,f**k me he wasn't kidding mate, that so funny

f**k**g yes
Rigsby can't understand u ,y the f**k did you not have a big company with lots of men u would have been up they with lord ALAN SUGARWouldn’t know Andy G. I gave up Plastering in 1989.
Thinking back, 40m2 a day was a days worth. Although probably less in winter with loss of light and slower sets.
So £100 a day.
Working for someone else as a wage earner I think it would be a minimum. But independent, own equipment and van then no.

Oh that was my plan pre self employed. But plasterers are a breen on their own.
Kept it small and manageable, just.
Wouldn’t do it again, no chance. Waste of life. Wind back and I would have stayed on for gcse’s and become a gas engineer or plumber which is what I wanted to be. Certainly not the seasonal wet trades.
But I am lucky, still can work and earn my wages. Most spreads when I was an apprentice never reached 50 without becoming disabled or died from a heart attack.
My Teacher Albert Bailey got to his 65th Birthday and then retired. But he always had a labourer and only ever worked basic hours and daywork. I did go to his home once. A very basic Council House with nothing to show for 50 years of being a tradesman.
Wow ,I am 54 still plastering but f**k me it so hard , been one man band thatsOh that was my plan pre self employed. But plasterers are a breen on their own.
