Yes my sleep time needs improving.  I got up and was going to do 5 miles and got a phone call from a police station in Heber from my foreman of my crew that he was arrested and needed me to come get his pickup.  I went up there and arrived at 7:30 and they wouldnt let me take it. So I begged with them for the tools that were in it.  They allowed me to them and I cleaned all my drills, transits, expensive stuff that I needed for the day and then went up to the job site.  It started to pour up there so I called it off and had to go help my foreman get out of Jail. After $200.00 just to get him out I told him that my patience of losing money on his cause was frustrating me into no sleep and no money!  I told him that I was up all night trying to decide on whether I should fire him or not and this kind of pushed me to a conclusion.   Frustrating!  I will try to get in some miles this evening after all my little meetings with people are over.

So ... did you fire him?

From marion on Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 19:29:59

AWESOME!!! You see all of this CRAP is just going to make you a better runner of have a nervous breakdown! I hope you cut a hole in the ice and put some peas around it and when he went to take a pee, I hope you kicked him in the...

He's fired right? My husband fires people ALL the time now. He used to be SO NICE. Not any more. His managers won't let him talk to anyone anymore, cause they end up FIRED!! He fired a girl the week before Christmas 'cause she didn't come in because her grandmother died. Maybe you guys should have lunch :) He's just really tired of paying people for work he ends up doing himself.

GOOD LUCK WALTER!!! Hang in there!

Fire him, and do not bail him out for crying out loud!!!

I have a BIG bottle of Tylenol PM if you want it.

From Walter on Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 20:33:04

Teena, No not yet. I have to get my money back from bailing him out!

Marion, You always know how to chipper me up! Funny! I need your husband for firing and Kellis husband for bill collection.

Kelli, I bailed him out and yes Ive been crying out loud!

From marion on Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 20:56:09

I see- since you pay him, you can garnish his wages :) Ah Ha!!! You are so wise, grashopper! ;D

Kelli- I think he may beyon Tylenol PM, I think he needs some zanex!

From Kelli on Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 20:58:09

Or he needs a swift kick in the tush!

Leave 'em in jail or they never learn.

From Walter on Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 22:27:57

Kelli, I think kicking him in the ice hole is very appropriate.

Marion, Im still trying to figure out how Im going to make him work on the mess up that I have to replace for free!

Wall-e, sorry to hear you're having so many problems lately! It never always gets worse, don't forget that. Tomorrow is another day, hang in there and get some sleep!
