(Bismarck, ND) If you called our office this morning, nobody answered.
And this is why.
Because at my company I tell every employee that family always comes first.
Laura was on vacation. Because her family comes first.
I was in this chair. Because my family comes first.
And anytime an employee misses work because of family, I always remind them.
And whenever a client cancels on us because of their family, I tell them the same thing.
Family. Always. Comes. First.
We’ll be fine.
Because at the end of the day, we don’t really do anything that important.
We suck dirt off the floor for God’s sake!
None of this really matters when you compare it to your family.
So I apologize if we missed your call.
And at the same time, I don’t apologize at all.
Tomorrow we’ll be back.
Go hug your family tonight.
Everything else can wait.

PS: surgery went well. No cause for concern. Mostly normal kid stuff.
