Did you do that in your free time or were you planting those said weeds during your work time.It seems theres a misunderstanding going about.
I'm here for a long time, not a good time.

Um, I'm a horticulturalist. I frequently represent myself as a business owner that offers total landscape planning, design, and maintenance of properties and plant material.
My full time job was "gardening" at some ritzy private school. The maintenance there was being overseen by a few corporations and I was being micromanaged. They just wanted me to pull weeds but I wanted to do an installation. Wouldn't have cost them anything. They just wanted to flex their boss muscles and feel powerful. I basically said "fuck you, go be a boss over there."
Thought farmers and lawncutters had it rough, glad you stuck to your guns.
I have an amazing relationship and homelife I can retreat to every day. It's easy to fuck off from a job when you know your partner can pull a little dead weight and you only need a gig for spending money. I'm very lucky.
That's awful :( And you were just trying to save some plants. I can't wait to hear what you make with your time off!
Also I'd love to support you, but I've already purchased both albums. I'd gift one to someone, but idk who would appreciate it. Best of luck to you!

I snagged a digital copy of 2Q4U!
Hope all goes well with your new-found time, it's a shame that putting care into the plants wasn't appreciated. Were the plants you managed used mostly for landscaping? Still noticing a decent amount of landscaping going on around here but that's probably people who have annual contracts with landscapers, vs people looking to get started now.

I was picked up for full time work at a private school by some management corporation a few years ago. I didn't have a whole lot of respect for the company, they always just left me alone. I gave their client McCallie School landscaping that was geared towards Hamptons estate property owners. A real boon for a ritzy private boys prep school in the middle of nowhere Tennessee.
The school and the companies I worked for had a strange symbiotic relationship. Everyone at the school had a deep appreciation for the changes I made to the campus. I even got the cafeteria to recycle all their plant waste for composting. Alas, the management tried getting involved during the covid-19 thing. It was my ego vs theirs and since I couldn't fire them, they won.
