When Tabs would walk the halls at Tabs the Cat Industries, LLC headquarters, you had to be on guard. It was like being in the military when a four-star general walked by. “Atten-hut! Officer on deck!” He had high standards and demanded a lot. You were expected to work long hours, sometimes even preparing gravy for his midnight snacks. You were also expected to be on call 24/7 for fur maintenance.
That’s just the way it was. There was no cruising or resting on your laurels. You were only as good as the last massage you gave him. Tabs didn’t only demand excellence from himself. He also demanded it from those around him.
And if you ever stepped up to him to complain about your job, you better have had a new job lined up. He was a taskmaster alright, but he was also the most generous employer I’ve ever had. I mean, if you lasted long enough to get promoted to Senior Pet Assistant, you got a lifetime supply of free kitty hugs.
I can’t lie; it was a difficult job, but I loved every minute of it. 🙂

If you demand excellence from yourself, you are probably less willing to accept slack from the ones you work with – after all a team is only as strong as its weakest member.
So true!
Hi Tabs was all perfection and having you working with him made even better!!!
He really was! He demanded the best from everyone around him!
Tabs looks a lot like 勝美 Jr.
Happy Sunday!
Hope you had a nice weekend!
