Always someone wants to climb the ladder higher. Some willing to step all over you. I’m glad to be out of that rat race. When I started off work it was much more team orientated. When I left it was like we were set up to compete against one another. A bit of a contrast but that is life, I guess.

I have a 28-foot ladder and that looks like only the second highest along this wall. Those taller ones are impressive.

I try to avoid ladders now but being a homeowner makes that impossible. The occasional cleaning of the gutter guards and power washing the siding require some ladder time. I’ve pretty much cleaned out the attic so no need to get up there. My better half doesn’t like me on ladders since one of our neighbors fell and passed.

I’m not climbing social ladders, I’m not climbing political ladders, I’m not climbing popularity ladders. I guess the climbing I do now is when I set the incline on the treadmill.
