Well, the olympics delays are setting in. One of my employees listened to my warnings about the delays today...came in 5 minutes before work instead of 20. Another didn't listen, usually shows up just in the nick of time, now he's 20 minutes late.
Not happy. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Lionsgate and the general downtown area's been a ghost town lately. I wonder if everyone's taking time off or skipped town like I plan to do.
