This Christmas, I hugged my daughter as she opened her presents and hurried into work and was recieved by a very grateful boss.

In this work and atmosphere and economy, nobody is hard to replace in a hurry with someone thrilled to do the job.

If this were me, the last thing on my mind would be a cigar unless I had someone to cover my mortgage.
