WTF DH. It shouldn't be hard for you to make it home at the normal time on Wednesdays so that I can go to my bible study class without taking sick kids along, especially today since you left for work at least 30 minutes early. Also, when I suggest bringing C to you so I don't have to wait for you to drive home. "Yeah, she can just ride in the front seat and we'll take the back roads" (from the middle of town?) is not an acceptable answer. Your truck has a back seat and we can take 30 seconds to put her carseat on that.

Like a normal person! Gah!

WTF Self. Have you lost your mind? Or are you just a big softy animal lover? You are adding SIX furry family members this weekend! Four donkeys and two barn cats. That brings us to a total of 16 animals. Holy shit. You're crazy, and you're going to need nametags to remember everyone's names. Once you name the new ones.

In my defense, I did give a firm No to the pig that we were offered. I do have a limit!

Somehow, it makes me feel better that the chickens I could legally and humanely kill at any moment and it would be socially acceptable. I mean. I'm sure you all think I'm a psychopath now. But. Like. Sometimes I feel like too many lives depend directly on me.

Oh man, remember the 27 chicks my DH surprised me with? Well two days ago DH said I should open up the part of the goat shed I had them in so they could come and go because they are getting too big to stay in that small space. Tonight when I went out to check on them just after dark I found four of them roosted on the fence next to the actual chicken coop, about 60 feet from where they are supposed to be. Half of the remaining ones were huddled up behind the coop and the other half wandering around the pasture cheeping "eat me" I swear. Thankfully I got them all rounded up into the chicken coop and all were accounted for.

WTF employees?! I get that the pepper job has gone on a week longer than planned, but that's why I told everyone to tell me their availability. One guy I emailed about why he didn't show up to his shift and he was all, "So sorry, I got another job and forgot to tell you."
...
And there was another guy who it turns out I was going to have to lay off for reasons unrelated to his job and I was feeling guilty about it, but then he stopped showing up. Well, that made things easier.
And a regular occasional helper was all, "Yes, I can totally work Friday!" 10 hours later: "Oops, no I can't!"
And someone who is totally solid hasn't show up for her shift today, so I texted her and she just got back to me with, "Oh I misunderstood, I thought that you didn't need me today!"
Arg. So close to the end of the crazy.

FWIW I got a sincere apology from mr TJ. Can we arrange for him to meet with my DH to discuss this? I actually think I owe my DH an apology, because the last two days I've been frustrated with him for being absent and yesterday when I dropped C off with him I expected him to just be trying to get a few extra little things done before he came home but he was actually heading a crew of 4-5 guys who were replacing huge freezer units on the roof of the store, so like, he's been busting his ass on that all week and I'm ungrateful.

mapleme managing employees sounds like my own personal nightmare. It hasn't actually been that bad. My goal is to create a workplace that lets the employees manage themselves. I've seen it work really well in other places and so far it's been pretty good (it really helps that I can weed out bad apples and find good folks with the temp pepper work). But this week has been frustrating. I'm so ready for peppers to be done and frozen. I want to move onto all of the fun stuff that I have planned.

I know it's not Wednesday anymore (hooray!) but I have to WTF Amazon. I ordered what I thought was 2 flanges, it was only 1. So, I liked it and decided to order another one since you know, I have two boobs... Well, I paid for one day shipping for the second one, hoping to have it by Monday to start my work week. I look today, it's expected to ship on Thursday. Why the eff did I pay for one day shipping if it's going to take a week to get here?? dude, contact amazon and get a refund.

WTF I got an email from Amazon that there was a problem with my payment for Kindle Unlimited and thought it was a scam and it turns out somehow I signed up for KU in Feb of 2016 and have apparently been paying for it since then? I checked through my emails and there are no payment confirmation emails or anything. I contacted support and they said someone on my account signed up for it, but I'm the only one with a kindle and I would have been downloading books if that was the case. They're refunding me the last 6 months, which is something. I went back and searched my bank statements and I don't see monthly payments, so maybe it took an annual one before? This is all very weird. I am kind of alarmed I've apparently been charged for something and had no idea and got no notifications of the charges. Fail Amazon, Fail.

I've had this argument with them before. It takes one day to ship... from the day it ships.

I think that I've pretty much decided that I WILL be doing truffles and nutcase spread just for direct sale (website and events). I'm not sure to what extent (flavors, etc), but there will be some available.

WTF DH? Today I used the shop vac to clean out our well house. It had a ton of rat poop and a big nest of insulation and other nasty stuff in there. We have a large shop vac and it practially filled it up. I did it today as opposed to... 3 years ago... because way back then I told DH it was disgusting in there and asked if I should use the shop vac to clean it out and he said "no, don't worry about it!" And then shut down any further attempts at discussing the issue. So I didn't, even though it has been disgusting and I have been struggling with that every time I've been in there since. Fast forward to last night, when he told me I'd better shop vac it out because it was disgusting and he couldn't believe I had left it like that. Of course the man has zero memory of our previous discussion.

Dear husband, If you take our not entirely potty trained toddler to the store in underwear and don’t make a stop at the restroom on the way in like I suggested (and I saw your eye roll) you don’t get to be surprised if she wets her pants in line. And you really need to bring the diaper bag.
