Actually, I'm really an easy going guy. You could ask anyone who knows me.
The quote was from my boss when I worked at a local restaurant in my teens and early twenties. She was a real b!$%&.

When I had trucks on the road, my drivers told a lot of people how good I was to work for. My first driver worked for me for 38 years. He had a heart attack in 2017 after smoking all those years. I offered him $1000 once to quit, but he wouldn't do it. I had to buy a conestoga trailer for him because he had enphesyma and couldn't tarp loads without assistance.
Another driver worked for me for 14 years, longer than he had ever worked for anyone else. My last driver worked for me for eight years, until I retired in 2019. I had a couple of others in between, but they didn't really want to work.
Way back in the '70s my later to become brother-in-law drove for me, and I fired him, twice. Too long of a story to relate here, but it involved women and alcohol.

neither women nor alcohol are good for you, they just make you feel good, for a while.......

i guess there are exceptions?

i have been dry for 42 years but i got lots of good stories prior to that. i still tell drinking stories to my 92 year old ex steel co president buddy.

he always says, i don't understand why people get drunk, i don't like the way it feels.

I remind him that being drunk is no fun really, it's the getting drunk that's fun! I do miss that.
