There is a turbine in the supercharger… does that count?

I’m not sure if that’s surprisingly early or late

I live in the US and had a 1991 Acura Legend with a six disc CD changer in the trunk (it was ahead of its time in a few ways) and have recently had a 2014 Honda Accord with a single CD player in the center infotainment area

I think this is a good gesture and don’t want to downplay it.

But I’m not clear on the significance of this announcement of a coming apology? Why not just issue an apology now and seek out the families to send a more personal apology to them over the coming months?

Spend more time with them now. If you love them, don’t hide from them.

As an introvert who would sometimes rather avoid the toll of socializing, I spent the first four years of my marriage unintentionally neglecting my wife and family because I saw people around me working 12 hour days and weekends to provide. So I did the same. The damage that “bringing home the bacon” mentality had on my ability to turn attention to the relationships I truly cherish is painful.

I’m working past it now and looking for jobs with more PTO and after-hours support strategies that aren’t “quick, let’s call Bob” for every fire. I hope you never hit the point I had to to turn things around. One quote that really turned things around for me goes like this:

when you die, your coworkers will be upset for a time but your job will soon replace you. But the memory of your loss will be with your family forever.
