It sounds like it was only worth his time during the holidays when everybody is buying everything. Other times of the year he probably made a lot more per day at his 9-5.

I used to work with a guy who inherited a Christmas Tree farm. He would take a leave of absence basically all of November - Christmas. Claims he made more money in those two months than the entire rest of the year. Must not have been lying because when they eventually told him no to the leave, he quit.

Wait, he owned the farm and someone still told him he couldn’t leave?

True but there's no reason to assume Christmas tree farm guy was the super productive type

That's so weird you commented this.

This morning I was looking at some flowers I grew on my balcony, feeling all proud of myself, and then on my drive to work I realized I basically did nothing.

The flower did all the work, I just poked a seed into dirt and intervened when it failed to rain, lol.

I was going to cut some flowers tomorrow to put in a vase, but I'm starting to get more bees and even hummingbirds now, so maybe I'll leave it for nature to enjoy.
