Well what a shock to me. My foreman is from North Carolina. He told me that he is going back. That caught me by total surprise. We were going to do a joint venture and become partners in this new business.

It really left me and my business in a big time bind. I depended on him to run the crew, and take care of the everyday operations with the working side of the business. I did all the administrative operations. So now I don’t have a climber or a foreman.

He didn’t give me a 2 week notice, or even a 2 day notice. He was sending his wife back to North Carolina. They were having issues, fine. He said he was staying here, fine. Then he rented a U-haul, and got her set to go. I waited a week for him to get her ready to go, and postponed all my jobs for a week.

Well the day he was suppose to work he says he is going back, fine. I wish he would have told me week ago. He is young and will learn. Marriage is a 50-50 deal, on good days. On other good days, its 60-40 or 70-30. There are times in a marriage that you need to listen more, love more, and keep the marriage healthy. It’s not always going to be a bowl of cherries.
