A rotten boss can make one’s life miserable!

It’s also difficult being the boss! It’s even worse when you are the boss with two owners of the company and one is for you and the other one with 51 percent of the company is against you. I have been in that situation before!

What was truly awful was that the owner asked me to fire one of my best employees over a personal matter. He didn’t like her religion! I was furious. I refused to do it.

Things can get crazy at work! Sometimes, it doesn’t even involve the actual work performance, it’s a personal issue which is utterly ridiculous.

Hi Paul,

Hope all is well with you and your family, and the elders. Update us when you can. We miss you.

We do miss you. Paul.

Love hearing about Wales and your family!

I am still working on my family tree. I love my UK ancestry! One day I plan on doing the DNA testing to learn more.

I am fairly sure that Paul got fed up at the end with off-topic comments, instructions he didn’t want about his brother, and the aggro that started up. I doubt if he will be back.

Yes, I was kind of wondering what happened to Paul. Perhaps he feels he is in control of the situation now, so he has signed off, at least for a while.

Nah, Paul said numerous times that he enjoyed the distraction of other topics.

People have occasionally gone astray from topics on many threads.

It wasn’t that.

All of us wish Paul well.

Hey Paul, hope things are ok? Hope you or your family have not succumbed to the Covvy, the Rona or whatever the nickname is there - or the vaccine side effects!

I watched The Duke's funeral last night. We always called him Prince Phillip but I hear 'The Duke' all over the TV now. The 'no fuss' funeral may have had low family numbers (as required) but still a lot of people! I liked the green shiny ute instead of a black shiny herse, as he had wanted.

British pagentry, musical genious & military precision at it's best.

Beatty,

The focus here on ‘The Duke’ was about Harry ‘returning’ to England for his grandfather’s funeral and his relationship with William.

Nice for Meghan that she had a good excuse not to go..

I do wonder if it was kinda sad that The Duke & The Queen couldn't live together once he retired? Or were they both happier? He off in the countryside painting etc - She able to get on with it without his meddling..?

If I was a Queen & my husband was bossy, or snored... I'd absolutely have him retired to a far away cottage. (Mine is so annoying today there is not a cottage far enough 😠)

Hi Paul, with regards to COVID restrictions in the US, they are loosening up. I heard from another poster who lives in Florida that businesses are open and back to normal. Are you coming to Florida this summer?

My older daughter (who is slighltly on the spectrum and high functioning) is turning 16 next month. She's going to a job interview today. I'm feeling anxious for her. How are your son and daughter?

Hi, Paul

Good to see you posting. Are you gearing up for a Disney World trip this summer? I haven’t been to Disney World since my oldest daughter was 6 years old. She’s in her 30’s now!

Polar,

Yay! I bet she’s very happy. It’s important to them to get a job and earn their own money. You must be proud of her.

Thanks everyone. Yes, my daughter is very happy.

My job in the next few weeks before her job starts is to help her prepare for it. She and I practice meditation daily to help improve her focus and attention span. The calendar app and reminder app on her phone will be useful tools to help her keep things from slipping from her mind. Her social skill also needs a bit polishing. She likes to keeps to herself. She will need to learn to work and talk with different people. Luckily, she communicates better with adults than with her peers.

Polar,

Your daughter is blessed to have a mom who is so supportive of her while teaching her to be independent at the same time. I did the same with my girls.

Their first job was like many other kids, babysitting for the neighbors. Then the other typical teen jobs, retail jobs, restaurants, daycare at our health club, etc.

Polar: You are a wonderful mom to help your daughter prepare for her job! I taught my daughter how to do many things such as meal preparation at age 9 or before. Now she is a mom herself at 48 years of age. My DD also babysat neighbors' children, even saving a child's life by performing the heimlich maneuver after his father had wrongly given him an apple.

Thanks NHWM and Llama. You both are wonderful mothers yourselves.

NHWM, your daughters are now responsible adults with respectable jobs. That's the most parents can hope for.

Llama, your daughter saved a kid's life, that's incredible. The kid was lucky your daughter was there.

Paul, how is the vaccine rollout going in UK. Are you feeling safer because of it?

Polar: You're very welcome and thank you! When my daughter saved the neighbor's son's life, she was just 13 and she also was holding their other child, who was an infant. She promptly put the infant down and saved the 4 year old's life by remaining calm and getting the apple piece dislodged. Best of luck to your daughter as she starts her job.
