Unless Denver slipped under Fukushima lately, I think so.

So I got the nicest email out of the blue today. A woman named Daphne that I hired 7 years ago was a smart, young engineer. She worked for me and my company for two weeks before she jumped on a job that some sleazy recruiter approached her with at some investment bank after she started with us. Her coworkers gave her the nickname, after she left, of "10-Day Daphne".

After 7 years I haven't heard from her since. Until today when she wrote that she appreciated my "ethical and forward-thinking" management style, and that she regrets her decision to jump ship like that so early on as one of her biggest career errors. Particularly now that she's come more to recognize the difference between sleazeball employers and decent ones.

That was totally unexpected and pretty cool of her, actually.

:lol:

:lol2:

What did you tell her when she took that job, Greg?
Surprisingly, I didn't give her some big lecture. Maybe I should have. I just told her, less to twist her arm and more to give her unsolicited career advice, that she should be mindful of the reputation she builds from the relationships she establishes in her career.

Sure. Yesterday's dinner was way better though. :D Panko encrusted white salmon and papaya salsa topped with a drizzle of this guava jelly hoisin sauce I made. So good! :D

You would have loved the papaya too. I HATE papaya with a passion but paired with the guava and the salmon it's out of this world. But you have to season the salsa with some chandon beni. Cilantro would do as they are similar in flavour but our herbs are better. :D

OK, enough of this brother-sister act! We have too many things in common to ignore. Let's get married, Risa! I'm serious!
