when I was a cowboy...

 Actually I never was a cowboy but I was a gardener.

Well I never did any trade courses or other sudy but I worked under people who had.

They told the journeymen what to do and there was no making it up by yourself and you did what you were told with no argument. I applied for both jobs and was lucky to secure employment.

I did not get the job because I knew someone and I never went to work on a saturday when there were no bosses and spent 4 hours just walking around talking to people with a $30 spraypack from off the net to make it look like I wasdoing something.

and BTW there are perfectly good home made weedkillers that are just as good as the bought stuff!
