Well, that sucked. I went in and had to have blood out of each hand because the first hand wasn't cooperating. Then I drank the nasty stuff and got very nauseous. Waited an hour, couldn't find a vein--had to be poked & re-poked. Felt dizzy, really sick. Was told if I threw up, I'd have to start all over!

Waited another hour, had a different lady draw my blood--she got some from my arm. Then waited another hour--different lady--used the same needle hole for the next blood draw. Waited another hour and got another poke in the other arm. By this time, I'm dizzy, very nauseous, tired, confused....went out to my car and sat for 40 minutes before driving to the store. I got there, got my stuff--very slowly moving--like I was in a dream....and slowly drove home.

On top of the glucose drink--I had to fast for 12 hours before my appointment--so by the time I got home it had been 17-18 hours since I last ate.

Then I got home and unloaded the groceries and found my cabinet incubator at 72 degrees with 87% humidity. I have no idea why it won't turn on??? The turners are working but no heat & no fans.

I had 16 blue/wheaten ameraucana eggs in there, 12 bantam houdan, 8 dun laced wyandotte bantam, 6 RIR RC and 6 bantam favs--all due to hatch this week.

I'm just sick over it.

I moved some other eggs around and managed to fit everything into the incubator with the call duck eggs...they are all due around the same time...I don't have any idea how long it was off because I was gone about 5 hours today.

I emailed the guy I bought the incubator from and no response.

I guess I'm just tired of going into a store to spend my hard earned $ and getting treated as if I am inconveniencing someone for coming in. We have a few places like that around here and it is irritating. I have had this experience with teens and adults alike. So I'm not just down on teens or young people.
I'm just saying if your going to hold a job, be thankful you have a paycheck, do your best, and check your 'TOOD" at the door on the way in! Customer service should be high priority.
Jim Lucas shouldn't be the only reason I go to Del's. They should all be as nice as Jim. Know what I mean?

I completely understand. Ive worked in customer service as well. Was always the "go to" person for customers... I can't stand rude people, well corection. I cant stand people who are rude for no reason... I went into Farmland in Silverdale to buy pig food for my mom, and the lady behind the counter was absolutely rude! And on top of it, she was the manager... More and more, people are just not caring about the way their customers see them.

That is one of the reasons I don't go to farmland when i can't find something I need at Del's in Port Orchard.

I wish. I do have three broodies out in the coop so if worse comes to worse, I can use them to incubate the ones coming in the mail.

I hope so--but 87% is really high for the humidity.

Wow, what a rotten day! Sometimes doesn't it just seem that your guardian angel stepped out for a smoke and then decided to call it a day?

I'm hoping things turn around for you soon!

This is the response from the bator guy:

There is a fuse at the end of the power cord.. It is the same fuse that is in
Christmas tree light.

So now what? Where do I find one of those in JUNE?

So sorry you are going through all this! Some craft stores like Michael's sell twinkle lights all year. Maybe an auto parts store or lighting store? Do you have any in your Christmas decorations you could rob?

I absolutely detest Farmland... But on Sundays, they are the only feedstore open within 30 minutes of my place. And Mom's pig was out of food. On top of the bad service from the manager, they loaded the wrong feed into my car. I bought and expected to see a bag of Mini pig elder food, not a 50lb sack of Guiny pig food!

What on earth would I do with that!?? So glad I checked the bag before I left!

On the plus side! The guy who loaded the feed was quite nice, and even nicer to look at!

Ssshhhh dont tell me DH... lol
