Parallel Lives: Rihanna, Can You Get Me Honey?

"Standing in front of the team, I couldn't help but feel a swell of pride as I prepared to announce the employee of the month, Rihanna. She joined us a few months ago, fresh from Barbados, where she gained invaluable experience harvesting honey and selling it during her high school years. She came equipped not just with the knowledge of handling honeybees, but also an impressive knack for managing wasps—skills that have proven indispensable to our operations.

Her enthusiasm and dedication are contagious, and it's no surprise that she's quickly become a favorite among us all. I think back to one particular incident when I got stung on the job. I was in quite a bit of pain, but Rihanna was there in an instant, calmly and efficiently administering first aid from her purse. Also, I noticed her voice is as soothing as it is powerful, providing a comforting backdrop to our daily tasks."
