Tomorrow while my guys are out working(Where backlogged on work and there is a secret as to how we did that....I may tell that one on the computer...maybe. The only one I told how we did it was to Rob Huffman...maybe I'll let that secret out) I am going to a closed door meeting with the pension guys from my state capital. This is a closed door meeting and I have to leave in 5 hrs to get there. Nothing a few Redbull drinks can't handle. I have a few people who want me to relay the info that happens in there. This is the real deal and this maybe a true battle. I have alot of perks but too many others are losing there's because there contracts are running out. Mine is good for exactly 4 more years and then I can leave and follow the sunset. Still its not in me to leave my brothers and sisters in my other field out in the cold if no one takes a stand....or at least sucks up the info to pass on so strategies can be put in place. To be honest this is why I think I won this last award which was the biggest one I was awarded on this job. Not the most meaningfull one because the Plane crash EPD metal will forever stay with me but this one meant alot and even though they were never specific as to why I recieved this award my wife thinks its because I generally care for people and not to see them get hurt or in some cases ruined.
I think Kathy may be right because all my life I always try to give more then I recieve because I always feel better knowing I made someone feel better because of something I have done. That is why it hurts me probably more then most about what went wrong with the Powerwashing orgs I got involved in. I spread myself way to thin and looking back I should have turned down these org. positions when I was asked to take them... but I have a tough time telling someone no when they have a vision that when I think about it for a long enough time(I'm slow like this) I take the plunge.
Anyway tomorrow is the real deal and one day I hope to be back with the Joe Walters, The Hinderliters, Ron, Doc, Carlos, Rob, and many others and yes Jeff who is a star in my book to help this industry out and to make us a little closer so we can achieve so much more. To get there....its complicated but I have that plan in my head and yes it can be done..but not by slamming each other... that will never work. It may give instant satisfaction but in the long run...it kills and ruins and dreams never come true because of this.
Lets see if after tomorrow some are unhappy I recieved this award because in the end its the people that count...will see
