Clean Affinity

Salem is no more due to staffing issues and my obligatory travel to far away places. Sucks to say you suck, but I suck and failed this time around. I'm not homeless and starving yet so we will refocus on the core and go from there. HIRING... RECRUITMENT... more of that.

Jasmin and Maison had some great questions. I heart Frank. BIG questions about turnover. I hope I answered it satisfactorily as it is a big question. I am open to your input as I have a different perspective on things, but it's not my perspective that really matters if things are broken. This would make a great discussion if anyone is open to giving me their feedback on things. I haven't looked for jobs lately and when I do, I'm looking at it from my weird bias/perspective so what you see/notice is very helpful to me. Other questions such as healthcare are also big. I should probably think about this more and take notes and organize thoughts before jumping into things. I can readdress this one after I've done some thinking. Business philosophies... really good one. I will definitely come back to this one. This "episode" was really thrown together and not pretty at all. Sorry. So ugly I had to record an amendment to it. I have no idea how to use Audacity.

Long story short is that I don't understand Salem and Salem doesn't understand me. I am choosing to focus my efforts and available resources on Portland instead. Because Portland works. Salem is not working.

In here is some of the story of how the business got started. I rant against higher education, I express my desire to be a gypsy, I geek out about books, I might even burp in your ear a couple times... how rude! Sorry! Basically I pitch an idea and I want to know what you think about it.
