Last week, I started my new job as a landscaper with a local company called Garden Angels and my position title is that of Newbie Angel. GA has been on the local scene in St. Catharines for eight years and is owned by a former corporate executive named Lisa. Roughly eight years ago, Lisa decided that the corporate world wasn’t for her and wanted to do something different. She started GA and has grown it to a strong company that employs local women – the Angels.
After a week of being with GA, I can say this:
“Landscaping is HARD work. We work long, hard hours and these Angels are tough cookies!”
“I can’t tell a weed from a perennial.”
“My knees suck. At the end of each day, they ache like a mother f*cker.”
“I love to be outside all day.”
“Like Chandler, I bruise like a peach.”
“Going to the dump is fun even though it smells like sh-“
“I feel tough when I walk around in my work pants and boots.”
Given my new employment, the following song just felt right for the song of the week.
Earth Angel
Earth angel, earth angel
Please be mine
My darling dear
Love you all the time
I’m just a fool
A fool in love with you-ou-ou
Earth Angel, The Penguins
