Daily Grumble

So, Partner is on day three of his full on trip down spring '08 Flu-a-palozza lane. When I got it last week he was really kind of riding me to 'man up' and get into the office. There's a bit of unspoken competition on which couple is really serving the business best. Don't ask me to explain it. I didn't start it and I don't get it.

He was riding me hard last week to get out of bed and go to work. It ticked me off at the time, but knowing him and knowing how bad I felt I waved him off with a one finger wave. The fact that he is sick as a dog makes me sympathetic but only to a degree.

He commented last night that he was sorry that he wasn't more sympathetic to me when I was sick. I would normally have responded with an "Ok that's ok, I understand" What he got was a blunt "No you were not, and you might want to remember that in future" He look a bit surprised. I think he thought he was still operating under the guise of sick boy.

I left the room. I'm never putting up with that shit again.

I'm sorry, but when he and hi Bus. partner come out and tell Me and wife of business partner that we're are equal owners we both no it's crap. It's a nice tool for them to use when they want compliance but it's still crap. He and his business partner call the shots when it comes right down to it and that is how it should be. They know the business better than we. Just don't think we're going to buy you BS.

I am dedication to the business. And this hacks me off. I'm as dedicated as anyone. In fact more is expected of me then others. I'll stop there. I'm starting to get myself worked up. Clearly I have some issue to tell him about once I find a positive way to say it.

What I have believed for a long time is that if your sick....STAY AWAY FROM OTHER PEOPLE! Don't come to work and be a "Hero". YOUR NOT! your getting everyone else sick to. Stay Home.

I know our perspectives are different. He is truly an owner and gets to make decisions that effect me and my counter part. But I get sick of being told "well your a partner too". Um, No. When I can tell you your idea is crap, and not just have to keep my mouth shut while your plan (which I disagree with) has to play out so you 'get' what I all ready told you...

Ok, the self edit mode finally kicked in. I won't erase that because it's coming from somewhere I didn't quite know about. Sorry for the rant blog.

I love him. But he pisses me off at time.

Especially when I have to pull double farm duty because he's laying around....

Oh yeah...that's were we came in.

I've always been a bit of a bundle of irony & contradictions.

On other fronts, Bear is now into his third week of having someone home with him everyday during the day for three weeks. I wonder how this is going to manifest it's self as far as doggie dis-obedience once all is back to normal ?

I'm irritable, I'm cranky and probably shouldn't be posting. But there ya go.

I'm sorry the editing here is crap, I just don't have the energy to do the post justice. But if I don't just put it up, I'll save it as draft and it will never see the light of day. Take it all with a grain of salt and thank you for listening.

P.S. I keep finding dead bees in weird spots. It shouldn't be happening this time of year. It's kinda scaring me about the bee populations. Keep your eyes open and report to your local county extension agent if you see this happening. I've been reading about the issue in the last year or so, but now it's happening in my own yard. Scary.

XOXO to you all - BC
