![]() ![]() No wonder there are shortages in available tests. Don’t wander into every clinic to get tested unless you feel it’s going to get way worse, which for many of us at this stage, it will not. Should you stand shoulder to shoulder with every hacking person in town to get tested for something that you catch when you stand shoulder to shoulder with every hacking person in town? Whatever happened to just asking for a day off when you need it?īut if you have a temperature or can’t smell your eight-year-old son’s socks, you might be sick. There are lines around every street corner for people to get tested. Diarrhea? Better go get tested for COVID. Don’t forget the probiotics for your MCT-induced diarrhea. And on top of that, enough zinc to galvanize your liver, CBD for depression and MCT oil for your COVID-induced 20 pounds. You take vitamin C, right? No? Liar, you know you do. During the Clinton era, that was just a drinking game. And they think they should go into quarantine for a week every time they hear a politician say, “Look,” before lying about something. Everyone knows that cigarettes are safer than somebody wearing a mask who is vaccinated coughing 30 feet from you. Two of my employees ran outside to hide-I mean, to smoke. A contact lens rep came in and coughed through their mask. The staff’s response to COVID seems to be one of paranoia. ![]() But when an 82-year-old World War II veteran who fought at Normandy reaches his hand out, I am shaking it. Sorry, I know some of you think I should chop my hands off at the wrist after such a terrible act. I just assume they are singing “Happy Birthday” twice while they watch.Īnd, I have only shook hands with someone probably two times in the past two years. Of course, now I wash my hands in front of the patient. I wash my hands as I have done between every patient over the past 42 years. I mean yes, I am vaccinated and I wear a mask when I should, when with the staff or patients or when I am asked to by a business. Has that been studied? If you see Fauci, could you run that by him, please? Never happens on a yucky weather afternoon. Seems like when the day is sunny and beautiful, that somehow triggers COVID. This has happened a little too frequently lately. My first three patients this afternoon all called in with COVID. Lastly, I am biased but I believe we have the best company culture, and it's unlike any other.I write because I have the time. Our brew team wins the medals, but all of us earn them together. We're now an award winning brewery with 6 medals in the last 2 years from major professional competitions. We have made significant improvements, if somebody hasn't had our beer within the last few years we would love for them to try it again. Tell your friends about us, when you're out somewhere and they don't have us on tap, tell them your favorite Epidemic beer. When we first signed the lease to our space, we kind of said let's just see who shows up. For those of you reading this, we can't thank you enough for being supporters and fans. The rest of this year and the upcoming 2023 year are going to be extremely important for all small businesses since we rarely have the capital to battle sustained hardships. The cost to do business is sky high (inflation) but retail prices have to be kept low (slowing economy). Inflation is still high in a slowing economy, a phenomenon that hasn't happened since the 70's. We can only reap the benefits of our work if all of us are able to fully contribute. Being an owner means I get to speak directly from the heart without anything held back, and that has afforded me the ability to not have to read off a piece of paper.Įvery day we’re having to do better, for ourselves and for each other. My time in finance I’ve realized the work itself isn’t the most difficult, the most difficult is my ability to communicate reasoning and urgency so that we are cohesive as a group. I usually give a tidbit about showing gratitude or self-betterment, maybe a quote, maybe a story I saw. I say things from the knowledge that I have from studying the brewery's data almost every day, I say it the way I understand it with no filters. ![]() Sometimes I may have a few phrases or cues on my phone as a reminder. I will not read from a piece of paper simply because – I’m unable to, I never found a fix to my issue. Not because I think finance is the most important, but because often I just need to gather my thoughts while others talked. Every Monday morning we have a meeting with select staff to go over updates and set the tone for the week. ![]()
