I regard some of my employees like they are my kids. I certainly don’t take care of them like I have to with my kids, thank god, but otherwise I have a fatherly instinct toward them. I have hired and trained quite a few over the years, and they have gone on to go to college, join the military, and go on about their lives. Hopefully I have enriched the lives of at least a couple.

I just got a text message from one of the girls that I hired a couple of years ago. She is leaving for the Coast Guard today. I sent her one back congratulating her and wishing her the best. I know that the job she did for me was nothing particularly ground breaking or anything, but I think that the discipline and hard work did her some good.

…last night.

I don’t have much of anything to post this morning other than this. The car is warming up in the driveway. I think I finally finished up at around 11:30 last night therefore I didn’t wake up until almost six this morning, about and hour later than normal.

As usual, blogrolling.com is dragging butt, and my page won’t load right away because of it. The two blogrolls that I joined recently are going to be getting stuck in entries and then linked to from the main page very soon I suppose. One of them requires that you have it on the front page, so I may have to drop it. I will wait and see. It’s just not a good thing for the page to take 30+ seconds to load just because of one little script. Impatient people like me tend to close the page and go on to the next site.

Looking over at ‘On This Day’ I see that we were in New Orleans two years ago tomorrow. I may relink/repost some of those photos this evening when I get home. It’s time to go back.
