Thanks for the nightmare! I managed 30+ people (full and part-time) during the ‘0bamacare Nightmare’ and had to tell long-term employees that they were basically screwed. :(
My loathing of Socialist Democrats continues, unabated.
Seriously. I hate them. Hate. Them.
But somehow we managed to make all of our sales goals and still raked in $2M and above each year and beyond. We kind of pulled together to prove that we could do it...and no one lost their jobs...me included! :)
I can’t get enough of ribs at Longhorn. May be the local chef just is specially good. Meat falls off the bones and the sauce is really delicious.
