Not Going To Worry About It

In my previous post, someone left a comment asking me if I had any further training. No, I haven't, and I've decided I'm not going to worry about it. If I make a mistake, so be it. If I total up the price wrong, or forget to add in a price and undercharge, too bad. I've been asking and asking for weeks now to be shown how to do these things, but apparently I'm more valuable as a painter, landscaper and janitor.

Sorry, I don't mean to sound bitter, but I would much rather be doing funeral director tasks than Joe Handyman tasks. But, I do realize that when business is slow, you've got to take advantage of the opportunity to get some needed work done. We aren't doing these things because the Owner is trying to give us "busy work." Still, I wish he would understand that it's also a good time to sit down with your intern and teach him a few things.
