At work I had a conversation with Jeff about building a really big facility for the trucks. He would be in charge of the fiberglass people but would n...ed to find and develop a manager to work with him at both places so he could continue to maintain quality while we ramped up productivity. He nodded and said, "I expected this the way you're growing. The nice thing is you trust me to build both of them. At first I thought you might do what a lot of big companies do and blow me off in favor of. " I replied."Far as I am concerned you can check out now. But since it is late, why don't you stay the night and leave in the morning. No sense trying to get settled in with that leg the way it is.

Bella followed much more slowly, holding tight to the railing and going still each time the ship rolled in a new direction.

Screams of pain.
