Furious at H
long story short, i've had a hell of a week. i'm working a full time job, my usual part-time bookkeeping job PLUS another new client, which has been complicated to get setup (they work on a Mac platform and we do not..logistically it was a mess which took me a lot of unpaid hours to figure out), just got back from vacation, have a 2 year old who doesn't listen to me AND i have catering event tomorrow night.
i'm very scheduled...i plan my days to the minute a lot. yesterday i had to drop everything to meet the insurance agent over at our condo so he could take pics of the damage. that took an unplanned hour out of my day. i was up until 2am working on our new bookkeeping client.
i go to start cooking today and i have been to 3 groceries, errands, etc. i have to cook 16lbs of brisket so i need 3 crockpots (yeah, i have 5..what? you dont?) H was responsible for cleaning them after tailgate season last year (bc he put it off and did'nt want to and took the responsibility for it). i got to get my crockpots and once (that i've used since then) is clean. the other one i need is not and the 3rd is questionable. i called H at work and asked if he really cleaned them. he says he did. either he is blind (or likes to put away dirty dishes) or he lied to me.
i called him out on it and now he's turning it around on ME bc i'm upset! he does this ALL the time. basically, he gives me a half-asss apology and then tells me taht i am acting totally out of line and should not be as upset as i am. then it becomes my fault!
seriously!? i have every right to be angry. yes, i can clean it myself...but it's not the point. i always clean my stuff after i use it, put it where it goes so it's there for me when i need it. i had to take the time to clean them all (not easy...stuff that did not want to come off!) and every extra minute made me even more mad.
anyway...that was long. thanks for listening.

Re: Furious at H
Agreed! They are very hard to clean and generally we end up cleaning them and then cleaning them a second time so I'm sure he cleaned it and KNEW it wasn't that great but didn't want to deal with it.
H does that to me too sometimes and I say "oh no you're not turning this on me...I have a right to be upset even after you apologize" haha
and don't worry everyone...i'm using different crockpots that are actually clean. i borrowed one from my dad to replace the dirty one. it's probably trash now bc it gags me out.
Oh no! I'm sorry for the additional annoyance/stress!
That said, I have to laugh at either he's blind or lied part. I'm betting on blind. H does crap like that and it drives me whacky! I half believe he's lying, but since he gets all worked up, I think he does believe what he's saying and just screwed up the cleaning.
Anyway, like I said, sorry for the drama! Hope you get some awesome brisket and a nice beer (or adult bev of your choice)-- H def deserves designated driver/babysitter status for this party. NOT for not cleaning but b/c his wife is cool enough to cook half an adult's weight in BBQ!
