Had an employee who told me about his sick dog...3 years old. One morning (7 AM) on the way to the work site (17 miles away) I asked him about his pup.
He said, "I shot her and threw her in a dumpster."
I was speechless and thought and thought and stewed and stewed all morning.
Finally at 10:30 I went to my truck/check book...walked back over to him, handed him a check for hours worked and said, "Catch a bus!"
