Never had Jamaican Jerk cuisine of any description, have smoked my share of Jamaican weed.
Plus Appleton rum when I drank.
Oh it's spicy and delightful. They use habanero. I hope you have a great night my friend. Will you be keeping up with the action south of you? I think Harris will win. You can bet on the election in Vegas. I live in Boston. 70s today. Life is good. 👍

I wonder if you were disliked as much as the manager we had fired for being a bully at work. Fifteen employees stood side by side and through a legal process had her ass fired being a bully according to the tribunal that made a ruling on it.
I was just a lovable teddy bear. Employees.....All I asked for was 8 hrs work for 8 hrs pay. And do it the way we ask/taught you.

Managers....your azz was mine. Tell um, show um, check em and re-check em. Always make a LONG term decision over a Short term decision.

Surround yourself with good loyal people.

It's always good when management and employees respect each other. Have been on both sides and enjoy working with people who are either passionate or caring for their work. When I go to work, that's where my mind is at. On one occasion I tried to get my friend fired from his job, he was such a slack ass, sitting on his butt while your working at the same job and both being paid the same. The union would not let me put in a grievance against a fellow employee. My friend eventually quit and moved on to work more suitable to him.

You should try these if you like Habaneros.

It's a lemon drop habenero, medium spicy ( i like it hot hot hot ) but with the most delicious and surprising minty, coriandery taste.

My daughter correctly identified subtle note of gooseberry/rhubarb too.

They are truly delicious, words cannot explain.

Politics and weather are 2 of the many reasons that I moved out of Boston
Boston showed me true Yankee "me first" thinking -- At the intersection, each car had pulled up to the middle, forming a swastika of cars.

SOMEBODY had to back up. Being Boston, nobody would, and nobody could <-- Because cars had pulled up behind each of the swastika cars, preventing anyone from backing up.

I've been all over the world. Bostonians are worse than Parisians for driving .

We just had a provincial election here in BC, it was very close outcome.
As far as your election goes, it's not mine and I cannot affect any choices before and after the election is over.
Canada as a whole is prepared for whoever takes office and will work with either party as they always have.
We have our differences but economic interests will continue on.

First Respect is earned not demanded.....Employees have to respect who they work for. Employees like you mentioned above never last....they need to go to work for the gov't .

My last 10 years I only managed the managers. I tried to be one of "the guys" with the employees. But I never socialized with them.

My general Sales Manager, Used Car Manager, Service Manager, Parts Manager and Office Manager were my direct contacts.

They were all trusted long term employees. Most had been there over 10 years. As long as they could do the numbers I pretty much let them do their thing within MY system.

I have been retired 15 years come December and the service mgr and Used Car mgr are still friends and we talk often.

I an surrounded by civil war sites here in VA. Some of the folks are still fighting it. Not the slavery part, but the influx of northerners who bring their big city/liberal beliefs with them. They move to the country to get away from the city life, but they bring all their luggage with them.
Seems like I see a fair amount of Southerners who have their beliefs 😊
