Suffice it to say... "I don't like working with women."

Otherwise, long day, great pay, now I lay me down to sleep...

censorship

What is the purpose of censorship?  What does it do?  Does it keep innocent minds from the harsh realities that we face?  Does it further stoic traditionalism at the expense of the development of a free-willing mind? What is its purpose when imposed upon Christian college students?  Can a BJU student, to name one school out of an ever-decreasing lot of truly Christian colleges, learn to really express himself as I'm attempting to now when in an environment that looks down upon and usually suppresses thinking "outside the box".  The box I'm referring to is bland, heartless, miserly, and fogeyish traditionalism; not the boundaries of Scripture.  Of course we must stay within those bounds, or suffer the wrath of almighty God.  But sometimes I wonder if we are trying to make our traditionalism our guide instead of the Word of God.  Traditionalism states that "we've always done it this way".  I'm thinking that Fundamentalism's traditions came about because of the fights fought with Modernism back in the 40's and the New Evangelicalism in the 50's.  But what were the fights Fundamentalism fought in the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's?  I ask you that? Is what we practice now a result of 50 year old convictions?  I guess what I'm trying to say is that convictions established more than a generation ago are not easily transferred to new generations, especially when the mode of transferal is a set of mostly meaningless legalistic "way we've always done it" traditions.

 

I'll stop now, before my "old man" starts saying things.

spooky car ad. revisited

i just think it's so funny that most people are coming to my sight to get the spooky car ad.  no one really reads my stuff. all they want is the car advertisement.

my response, let them get it here.

potty dancing

from my observations of commercials on TV: most everyone associated with rock music, from performers to the quacks who listen to the stuff, act like they have to use the toilet. they jump around, dancing like they are in some never-ending lieu line. and they think that that, along with totally moronic lyrics ("you might just turn into something i like"), is going to sell Cingular wireless plans?

coffee shop employees are really important

here i am, at Port City Java, downtown, using the free wireless internet access that they have available here. what nice people they have here. well, anyways, i'm sitting here and there are some employees of PCT outside the window here and they are interviewing some guy, i suppose, for a position here working at the coffee shop. pretty normal, to have an interview. but wait, they've been at this for 1 hour and 15 minutes! I mean, come on, how long does it take to know whether a guy can pump java and use a cash register? It doesn't take a genius to smile and say, "I hope you enjoy your drink". Give me a break.

coworkers

i'm sure most of you have had those kind of people that you work with that think they are indispensible to the operation of the business, when in fact they really aren't. in fact, some are the most dispensible. i just got finished working with one of those people. no names will be used, to protect the guilty, you know. what a jerk. here i am with 2 years experience in my field and i have to work with this person to get acclamated with a new facility, and this jerk treats me like i just walked in off the street with no exp. at all. i have my license as a dialysis technician and she acts as if i was a newbie. please, at least ask for my insight into what were doing. try to learn from me as i learn from you, instead of being the mother and i'm the naughty little kid.
