You’re Fired—In the weeks since that employee was let go, my decision has been affirmed. I have uncovered several fountains of poison that had been spread by him not least of which was discussing with a client the unreasonable expectations I had for him. Lovely. My primary concern was that the other employees would not feel threatened or put off by my choice to let someone go because of poor performance. That has not happened. Despite business still lagging, the atmosphere has been much improved after his departure. Everyone is pulling together with a can-do attitude.

Garage Door—The freezer and some of the cabinets have been moved. I can pull into the garage far enough to close the door behind me and I can get out of the driver’s side. If I have to take anyone on the passenger side, however, I still have to back out first. We have more cabinetry that can move, but it will be a big project…very easy to procrastinate.
