I am concerned about the actions, or lack thereof, of an "independent contractor" of the company, who says he wants to become an employee. He angers and disappoints the owner frequently, but always manages to talk his way out of it. The owner is seriously targeting him to become an employee in a few months.
When told he would need to take a drug test, he said he would have to have advance notice because he "smokes a little pot." The owner agreed to give him time, because he said he was "quitting." I suspect he may do other drugs - he's in his mid-20's and young people don't seem to think it's any big deal to do crack and heroine these days.
I am not an owner, just the office manager. It seems I am always having to apologize to customers for things he said he would do but didn't, etc. He does good work most of the time. and the customers he doesn't neglect are frequently complimenting him. The jobs he doesn't show up for, though, I think are his way of punishing the boss.

Most religions suggest that you should sacrifice certain things in order to make your life more meaningful and pleasing to the divine ... whether its sex, material possessions, or certain foods.

Why is this?

With it being understood that ANYTHING done foolishly and in excess can be harmful, it seems to me that the true meaning of life would be found in enjoying the things we do have, rather than focusing on what we have to live without.

Any thoughts?

I am thawing out a 4.12 lb pot roast for family of 3. I am pretty sure this is way too much for just us, should I cook the entire thing then cut in half and freeze or should I only cook half and re-freeze the other for another meal? What are the rules for re-freezing meat??
