  • Not my boss but a guy who I’ve hired before and absolutely will hire again and again.

    In the middle of a major project one of this guys key people learned his wife had terminal brain cancer. She had months to live, they had young kids. Ryan kept showing up and working until one day he didn’t. Assuming the worst I called the owner of his company and asked if everything was ok.

    The owner told me they sent Ryan home until he was ready to come back… which meant until after she had passed and he’d grieved. Full pay and benefits for the guy, they just wanted him to spend the rest of her time together with the whole family. They also started a fundraiser for the kids education, that we tried to help as much as we could. They matched every donation.

    Subsequently, I’ve hired this firm again even when they weren’t the cheapest option. I want to work with good people, not necessarily cheap ones. That’s how good people operate imo.



  • When I wake up and leave my bedroom l, the lights at the backdoor turn on so I can see where I’m going. When I get back from walking the dog, the camera knows it’s me and triggers the heater in the bathroom so it’s toasty when I’m showering. When I’m done in the shower, and turn the heater off, the coffee machine turns on. By the time I’m dressed, my coffee is ready to go.

    That’s just one routine I’ve got set up. I’ve got ones for both kids rooms for wake up and bedtime stuff.

    It’s pretty nice.
