re-re-re-repossessed

repo.

short form for reposess. in the treeplanting world, it is shortform for replant. sometimes your trees are shallow. sometimes you have planted them in redrot. there are all kinds of reasons you might be made to repo. the one that hurts the most, however, is the one that most truly reflects the word repo...

the other day i hit my head on a tree. was convinced i had a concussion. after sitting in the truck for an hour, i was tricked into working again. i blame the concussion for the horrible job i did planting the rest of the day. trees, which in this piece of land were supposed to be planted about 2.9 metres away from eachother, somehow got planted like a foot apart. at 4:00, an hour before quitting time, i was told i had to "fix this."

i had to repo. to reposess nearly 1/4 of the trees i had planted the whole day in the beating hot sun with a concussion.

one by one i removed my little trees from the soil and put them back into the sidebags from whence they came.

i truly felt defeated.
