Well with the holidays upon us as an ex business owner this time of year reminds me of the tale of Skipville.
my father owned a body shop in S Florida from 1963-2002
for 20 years Skip the drunk worked for us
Ole Skip was a fantastic body man..But had a major alcohol problem
He came and left work on a bicycle because he had not owned a drivers license since the stone age..most older American males you see peddling around town on bikes, who do not own cars are alcoholics
Skip had to take off every day at lunch hour to the bar to start his drinking..easy 6-12 buds a day for ole Skip..he was worthless after lunch and repeated the cycle daily for twenty years..
Well that SOB never swept his working stall..had the same little work stall for years
Pops used to give all employees a decent cash Christmas bonus at the end of each year
That ole Skip..every year a week before Christmas he would sweep his stall and pretend to be a good employee..all in anticipation of increasing his bonus..as soon as he got it..he would go get drunk..buy 3 packs of smokes and whatever else helped him cope..
will SBR`s paid hands do the same in anticipation of a hefty points bonus for the holidays?
stay tuned
I dont know why the hell I just wrote this..Just killing time as my 3 rascals take a dump in the front yard and bark at the early morning neighborhood strollers
