3/ Story is: I asked FH #2 if he wanted to be promoted and work all summer. He said "yes", enthusiastically, and promised 40 hrs/ week. ...and then... it never materialized. 30 became 16 became 8 became...

4/ I pressed him "do you need more money? Is that what this is?" "No, the money's fine." "How much are your other jobs paying you?" "$3/hr more." "OK, fine, instant raise. BOOM." "Yeah...still, I don't know."

5/ So this morning we're talking. me: "You've told me that you like this job much more than your other job (painting), so if I match the dollars..." him: "<pause> no... (glance to one side) I like painting more." me: <follows his line of sight> and... O_O !!!!

6/ Turns out that his wife has come to work with him (!!!) and has been hiding in the car (!!!) and saw me approach FH #2, so slipped out of the car and followed me up the driveway to listen in on the conversation (!!!)

7/ About ten years ago I had this crazy even where a girlfriend's mother broke up with me (i.e. decided what was best for 35 yo GF, pressured her into doing it). I've not had a farmhand's wife quit on me. O_O !!!!!!!!

8/ Seems 99% likely that the resolution is that I'm going to up FH's pay for a week or two and he's going to finish the one big project I already bought materials for, then he's gone, and I have no FH.

9/ I'll prob just leave it like that for remainder of this season, and try to find a local HS kid for next summer. Still fairly agog at this level of bovine feces.
