Is the Tide About to Turn?

Well, after my chat with Kathy yesterday, I need to have either some really good sales or plan an exit strategy. Yes. Or Woody needs to get a real job, or both.

I go on him last night and told him that he needs to consider begging for a job from someone as things are going to get pretty nasty. Woody said that he never considered that. Duh...Either beg for a job or beg for change like the other bums around here.

On his rounds today he went by the Toyota store and on of the guys needed a gift so he brought him over to the store and we had a sale. I also had a really good sale myself so this was a very good day and made of for a lot of bad days we've had.

The Begging for a job was critical. I just have never seen anyone so not motivated to survive and as I said to Kathy I am not of the mind to rescue him. So much has gone down that makes me not want to do anything.... Sure enough I will have to close the store and go out and get a itty bitty part time job as Woody isn't cutting it. Oh for life in my little house in Bellflower... Yet all that I knew from that life has changed in the last few years. Wouldn't be the same there either maybe worse.

Woody actually has a job but the is no start date and it is so flaky that I hope he gets a real job... He would be a "gifter" and some time Concierge at the Naniloa. Working for Fairfield Resorts, he would try to get people to drive out to Kona and see the new resort. Pretty tough sell. But it would be more than nothing, which is all we can expect at present.
