Ranting has become rare in our household, but the time has come to do one, because why not? It's free and a good way to let off some steam, lol!
One of our farm boys decided not to return, leaving his work and over $1.6k in cash advances behind. There were no words (he won't pick up our calls), not even a reply to the husband's message.
Little did we know that when he left for the holidays, it would be a permanent vacation, or shall I say, goodbye. Well, I had an inkling when we got home from the family trip and found out he wasn't around (he was supposed to be back on the 3rd). It was confirmed three days later, when he contacted one of his companions and asked them to take over the things he was working on.
The hubby thought he might just be out of funds, and we could send him some for his fare and such, but we didn't hear a word. Darn!
So, what went wrong?
We have absolutely no fracking idea. Maybe he lost interest in working with us? Who knows. We had always been good to them, and unlike other farm bosses, we provided free lodging, kitchen needs (food, etc), and even personal necessities. We share what is in our pantry, and we treat them like family. Yet here he was, abandoning his job and some financial responsibilities.
It's funny though that the husband is still hoping he'll find his way and return one day. Second chances, huh? Okay, fine. It won't hurt. But my trust in him has dwindled, and it won't be what it was before. He left us hanging and didn't even have the decency to say he was not coming back or that he was sorry. "What a j#rk," my head grumbled.
We still wish him well in life, that he may find whatever he seeks, that he may live in peace and bliss.
But yeah, he's still an inconsiderate j$rk to me, lol!
Thankfully, one of my brother's boys came to continue the job, so the primary concern was solved. Stress gone. Rant over. Thank you😅
Smile... laugh often... love more... be happy and grateful always!
