Here We Go Again

Well, no surprise, the Hired Hand quit yesterday morning. I assumed after his doctor appointment on Monday he would. From my discussions with him I figured he was going to opt for surgery over medicine to fix his heart condition. They are going to crack his chest open and either fix or replace his heart valve on Monday. It's sure happening fast, it must be pretty bad. Thirty six and heart trouble. I feel for the guy. The only question I have, and it's none of my business, is where is he getting the money for this surgery. He couldn't even afford to buy food and gas at the end of the month and now he's going in for heart surgery and neither he nor his wife are working. It's gotta be tough.<br />n<br />nNow my search for a new Hired Hand begins. Shipping coming up in a month and a half. Is it ever going to be fun around here. The Hired Hand tried to apologize for quitting saying, "I never planned for this to happen." I told him "None of us ever do, it's just this thing called life and we all just have to muddle through." Now to follow my own advice.<br />n<br />n<strong>Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart's desire; the other is to get it. George Bernard Shaw</strong>
