Whew - we made it through Helene and Milton. Most of our clients and candidates were very understanding about our situation. Getting prepped for a hurricane is a lot of work and the clean up after is a lot. We were lucky that there was minimal damage to our property. My sons patched the roof and added a tarp until we get a new roof put on. Our neighbors got hit hard with two rounds of flooding – all their possessions were on the curb. My town hadn’t been hit by a hurricane in 100 years.
We’ve all been trying to show grace to everyone. We’ve been helping neighbors and they've helped us. Thank you to our clients who understood our situation. Interestingly, we discovered some people don’t have any grace. One of the people we were working with at The AG with was upset that we couldn’t get back to them during this emergency. I found their lack of empathy shocking and it’s not anyone we’ll be sending to a client.
Dave always had a saying framed and it was the only picture on the wall that got wet. Here's what it says -
“It’s easiest enough to be pleasant,
When life goes by like a song.
But the man worth while is the man,
With a smile when every thing goes
Dead Wrong.”
