And that nothing is true , everything is permitted . <| sep |> I worked at a pizza restaurant for a couple of years in the early 90 s . The owner would be there at stupid o ' clock to open up , would work circles around everyone else in the kitchen all day , handle management duties on top of that , and would be there at the end of the night cleaning and closing the place down . He was kind , funny , always cut us slack , bought every single employee Christmas gifts , wrote letters of recommendation as well as character letters for court cases , and his hard work inspired us to do a better job . If we needed a day off , no problem . If we needed to leave early , no problem . We received regular raises and free food . He turned the business over to his son who was also a very hard worker . They tore down the old building and rebuilt a bigger and better location on the same , popular spot . In the end , he retired early a wealthy man with a very successful franchise so he could play golf any time he damn well wanted . I haven ' t seen him in many years , but I wish him the best and hope he is still happy and enjoying his retirement . Out of the stupid number of jobs I have had over the decades , he was easily one of the best managers if not THE best I have ever known . It worked in his favor , unlike so many that had an axe to grind and were miserable bastards .
