Waiting For The Next Blow

My Darling Wife always tells me that bad things happen in packets of three. I'm waiting for the third one.<br />n<br />nTo start with <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/1694-Cows-Are-Out.html">the little lady</a>, the last bum I found, died last night. It wasn't particularly surprised by this. I had fed it and doctored on it but I could not get it over the scours and she slowly slid down hill. So, one bad thing.<br />n<br />nThen The hired man informed me he is moving on. He wants to finish the month out then he is on his way to Arkansas to set up mobile homes. We had been riding pretty hard the past couple of weeks and he said that the riding was a lot tougher than he thought and that is why he is quitting. I don't know but I have to take his word for it. I will keep him working until he leaves, what else can I do?<br />n<br />nSo now the search begins yet again for a hired man. Home early to make phone calls, get ads on the Job Service and generally work towards finding a new person. Awful short notice in a busy time of year so I will be short handed for a while. The other problem is that most people doing this kind of work probably all ready have work lined out for themselves this late in the spring season so finding someone will be tough.<br />n<br />nQuick little pity party ahead so read at your own risk. <a class="block_level" href="http://www.sarpysam.com/archives/1702-Waiting-For-The-Next-Blow.html#extended">Continue reading "Waiting For The Next Blow"</a>
