He is ALIVE!
Yes, boys and girls, I am still alive. I haven't been posting lately, and I'm not really sure why. Actually, that's not true. I do know why....
Mainly, its this: Now that I'm not in "the business" anymore, I refuse to be one of those that sits on the sidelines and snipes at what other people are doing. But since I needed to pass on a "good luck", I decided to break my self-imposed silence.
Ken Dillon is headed back to Clinton next week. Their gain, our loss. When Ken was first hired at my former place of employment, all I knew of him was what I had heard from some former co-workers. I had a preconceived idea of Ken -- and I was wrong. Ken is one of the hardest working, nicest guys I've ever had the pleasure of working with. There easily could have been some tension between us, as he was coming from a situation where he'd been THE BOSS, and now he was working for someone with less experience than he had. But he never gave any indication that it was a problem. He did everything I asked him to do. He offered advice when I asked for it, and didn't talk about me behind my back or question my authority. And he became much more than a co-worker. He became a friend.
When I walked out, I dumped a load of shit on Ken's shoulders, and he never complained (ok, he complained a little, but always in a nice way!) He had to learn a lot in a short period of time, and he had to do some things I know in his heart he did not want to do. I know it wasn't easy for him -- or on him. I'm happy about his new gig, if only for the positive impact it will have on his health -- both physical and mental. He's going home, and not too many people get that chance.
So, Ken Dillon, make the most of this opportunity. Use every little shred of knowledge, talent and drive that you have to make this work for you. And if by some chance you learned anything from me in the time we worked together, rest assured that I learned as much, if not more, from you. You are a class act, and I wish you well.
NOW GO DOWN THERE AND KICK SOME CLINTON ASS!!!!!!
