Rodent Regatta

The day began with an email from a guy at a church I once attended. He’s apparently trying to recruit people to help fix up a camp in the area. Someone has let it run down, so now people are being asked to help. Here’s what frosted me:

The camp has meant so much to our church and others for so long we really owe it some return. In fact if you remember we damaged one cabin so badly it had to be torn down and we have never helped rebuild it.

These statements beg so many questions, I don’t have time to ask them. It sounds to me like somebody ought to be teaching those who damaged the cabin some respect for people, property and decent behavior. Oh well, I can blow this off.

>From there the day entered a death spiral. Job sites, companies ostensibly seeking talent and today’s ”normal” behavior toward those who would inquire about careers are sickening things. There was a time that courtesy, manners and civility was expected on the part of a candidate as well as the hiring organization. More and more, I sense that Gen-X tactics, morals and methods are not only expected, but required. I won’t go there!

Surrounding a lot of this turmoil was a lot of noise about…Nevermind, this isn’t even therapeutic!

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. James 4:10
