I found out today that the previous owner has gone to two days a week, which is good, BUT, there are NOT new employees. Most of them have worked for many many years for the previous owner. That is not good, but many are of retirement age, so they may be gone before too much longer. One of Bryan's problems is that he has to modernize the company's operations, and so many of the employees have been doing things the same way for years, so they don't want to change and it creates lots of problems.
OH yes! Brooke becoming more independent is a really good thing. She is very strong, decisive, and can readily take charge of a situation - but I can see now that they are in Houston, how much she really relied on me and how much stress it causes her to be 'on her own'. She'll be better in the long run though, I am sure.
Wouldn't you know it today, someone stole her cell phone (iPhone). They were eating at Chik-fla-a (fast food restaurant) and they finished and walked out to the car. Brooke said she hadn't even had time to get to the car when she realized she left her phone on the table. She went right back, but of course it was gone. She was due for an upgrade so it only cost $200, rather than $400, but STILL, that is a lot of money and A LOT of hassle.
She did not have her passcode turned on, and she had her home email on the phone with lots of important documents in the email folders, so she had to go home and move all her stuff into new folders. YEESH!
I wasn't using my passcode on my phone either, but needless to say I turned it on today!
