    • The House I Grew Up In
      • 13-02-10

        I grew up in a big old house with lots of mystery. The basement was the best, most mysterious place of all. The basement rooms were only partially excavated - we'd crane our necks to look into the deep, narrow passages below the floorboards and imagine all kind of creepy and wonderful things. A coal pile next to the abandoned furnace was the prized location. We'd emerge from the basement with smudges and soot all over our hands.

        Give away a million? Wait, what about those serious debts. Let me pay off all my bills first, then we'll see where the rest goes. . . .

        you are fired!

        So very difficult recently to fire good employees. We'd done everything possible to deep our company together under this devastating economy, but finally had to make drastic cuts just to stay alive. I remembered a quote from a business advisor, "if you don't hurt when you fire an employee, you've stopped being human."

        Though I'm glad we can pay our bills now, there's no doubt in my mind just how very human I am.
