Sugar and Spice...

It occurred to me over the weekend you may think I've gone soft...rest assured, I'm in no immediate danger! Try as I might to be kind, open and accepting, its just not genuine, not from me anyway! Witt, vim and vigor is more my approach to work, people and life for that matter!

As it stands a great deal of my HR intuition is garnered from a natural inclination toward slow and studied acceptance. I'm all about first impressions and gut instincts, and it has served me well! If your the betting type, you could lay serious odds on my personnel predictions!

Sugar is great for those for whom it comes naturally, it has its place and time. Much like the ingredient, Sugar dissipates, is swallowed up, gets masked by other ingredients. Spice stays with you, its the muscle, the key ingredient that can make or break a dish...a little may be too little and too much can turn you off completely!

So here I'll stay constantly adjusting the balance of Sugar and Spice, running 30/70 currently! Honestly the best you can hope for is a 40% Sugar to 60% Spice ratio from the Spout, which will have to be good enough, besides a little spice never hurt anybody!

And we're off...
