holiday lights

Thanksgiving is done and with that comes our annual Christmas Dinner. This year the same lights that I put up on the house EVERY YEAR are giving me fits. One string wanted to blink on its own. When I finally found that one little red light bulb amongst the rest of the plain ones and replaced it with the regular kind of light bulb, it pops the fuse on that strand of lights every five minutes.

If you employ people, make sure you hire the red-light-bulb kind and then treat them well. They are the ones that bring that special quality to their work. They aren't there just to punch a clock. They stick around to make a difference, to grow their careers and to take on responsibility and in turn make the company successful.

That being said, if you replace them with the "regular kind," your strand of lights will pop its fuse every five minutes or so. Find and hire creative people and treat them right. Or, go pop a fuse.
