Okay, so I got Facebook'd by Caitlin Berndt today...
So, in order to keep an employee happy, including ones that live in other cities and come back to the bookstore to work for holidays and special occasions, I need to say thank you. To all of my emps I need to say thank you.
So yes, I'm thankful Caitlin is coming back... but I'm more appreciative, thankful for the rest of my employees.
If you knew me when I first bought the bookstore, you knew me as a CONTROL FREAK! In recent months, though, I've learned to trust my emps... and have seen how they all have gone above and beyond my expectations. And now as my attention is focused on CFDT, CFR, CFH, CFWK, CFPB (and NOT on The Living Word) it's great to know that there are dependable, stable people watching my best interests at the bookstore. And that while I'm not there, the store still functions.
Kyle, Bri, Scott, Kathleen, Marlene, Priscilla, Steve, Deanna, Caitlin (and maybe Michael)... thanks for continually meeting people's needs and serving the customers @ The Living Word.
As a side note, there has been a lot of research recently discussing the stability of Gen Y in the workplace. Check out some of these stats.
Thanks, guys and gals, for being trustworthy, driven individuals. Christmas is going to be crazy.

Oh my goodness...you've never heard of her?? She's the coolest person you will ever meet.
She's really Jeff's favorite employee but he really can't say that on his blog.
