Violence-inducing bark

As a teenager, I was prone to angering quickly. And one more push and a violent reaction from me wasn't out of the question.

For twenty years, I've felt nothing of the sort....until now.

Seriously, if you're a bark manufacturer, your main, if not only job is to produce bark and bag it. When I pay good money for it and open the bag, it's reasonable to expect bark, no?

Yes.

So why...WHY do I spend my days handpicking out sapwood? If I wanted sapwood, I'd have bought sapwood. If I needed sapwood, I'm happy to pay a fortune for sapwood. I don't mind screening bark and that takes 30 seconds at best. Then, for one little basket, I spend the next 10 minutes picking out sapwood like my life depends on it.

If I sucked at my job this much, I'd be fired. It's like meteorologists....never get a damn thing right and you keep your job. Why am I doing barkmakers' jobs for them?!?

Okay. I feel better. LOL
