Friday's Rambling

Pride in a job well done has become a lost art for employees working for other people. You will not find this to be true if a person is self-employed.

While having insulation work done this week, I was forced to listen to the head of the crew deride his employer, who happens to be a friend of mine. You would think a person would be happy just to have a job in the Flint, Michigan area, rather than spending work time complaining constantly about the boss and the job conditions. Sure, it is outdoor work, but the temperature was above freezing – deal with it!

The legislature will turn into an extremely ugly and stupid morass if things don’t turn for the better in the next six months. I predict this as a warning to all of the still sane people holding on to their collective breaths.

Whatever we do as citizens of America, we must present a united front in our demeanor and actions. The enemies of this country will swoop like buzzards on road kill at the first sign the American spirit is breaking. Panic is not an option for the times and the path that lies ahead for all of us.

Please always remember those brave and courageous men and women in service to our country. Hug a soldier,airman, sailor or, if you are brave, a Marine.

Enjoy a great weekend. See you on Monday.

Should you let your friend know about this ungrateful employee? One can only assume he acts this way on every job. This could be hurting your friend's business.

I'm sure there are plenty people who would be grateful to be working right now.
