Heh.

My old man was a builder. I’d come home late at night and he would be at the kitchen table working on his book keeping.

“Well - rather than tossing and turning in bed worrying about it - I figured I’d just get up and do it.”

I’m guessing part of it was to make sure I got in okay, but he never made it seem like that.

No doubt I got my work ethic from him and my mom. And with my wife - we have passed it on to our kids.

My son was getting paid through the PPP for being laid off. “Yeah - I’m back to work. They are paying me for not working, but that didn’t seem right. So I would just go down there each day and there was always something to do.”

After several weeks of that and the PPP ran out he was laid off.

That lasted about a week or two. The last I heard he has been working 10+ hours a day again. I told him “I was wondering how long they were going to last without you!”

He’s no dummy. He figured if he showed up to work even if he didn’t have to, he would be first in line to get called back. In fact, prior to the company laying people off, he and another person volunteered to get laid off first as they are both single and make some money at other odd jobs.
