sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Before the lunatic lockdown, the average hours wage I paid my employees was $15 (Canadian). When our benevolent buffoon masters opened up what was not theirs to close, it shot up to $19. It continues to wreak havoc on my cost flow and structure. It's as if employees noticed there was a labour shortage and leveraged it to their advantage. We had to pay.
Few are worth the $19 and I wonder if there will be a price wage adjustment.
