Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Oh the weather outside is not very frightful, in fact, it looks, delightful. We awoke this morn to a nice dusting of snow, about a half to an inch, in fact! As I kissed my bride off to work, and realized how much I wish she were there with me, as she was yesterday all day. My wisdom tooth removal went, well, what is an adjective you can use, went fine. Still in a bit of pain, as it must have been a tough one, but the painkillers are working their magic. I know this will sound weird, but I kept the little booger that has been making me miserable these past couple of weeks, and teeth are much cooler to look at outside of the human mouth. Anyway, enough about that, just glad to be done. Now, on to the job hunt. I have spent a good bit of time looking online, and will continue to do so. I will not be taking a job where me staying there long-term is necessary. I will be honest as possible about my plans. Despite this detour of sorts, I will press on, and take whatever job I need to to get us through 'til July. I am not too good to deliver some pizzas. After all, I did it as a second job before we bought our home, and made pretty good money. And I could use it quickly, since my last check will be this Friday. It wasn't supposed to be. When I received the phone call that led to my job loss, I was told I would be getting my two weeks vacation, which I received a call the next day from, well, someone else over there in management, who told me that I would not be getting it. I tell you. That's what I won't miss about that place. Treating people like robots, not human beings with real bills, and real feelings. People more concerned with policies than lives. And here's a lesson for all of us. When I shared with him the sentiment I just shared with you, his response was, "What about when your dad died? We cared then, didn't we?" Listen, if your proving you care involves using an example from a year ago, and that's all you got, you got something to work on. I mean, if I can't give a valid, recent example of something I have done to show I care, I need to work on that, and so do they. It's the old Janet Jackson song, "What Have You Done For Me Lately." And another thing. You know how we are called to work as hard as we can, do as good a job as we can, and we think one day it will pay off. One day the boss will acknowledge your going the extra mile, he'll acknowledge the staying late, or putting a little extra into what you do. We have all been there. Well, it's true one day it will happen. But it might not be a boss that lives here on Earth. Those people you work for here may never see, and your extra effort may seem lost, but it's not, and will be rewarded one day for sure. It is in God's word. For we work unto God, and not man. And at the end of the day, if you have done all you can do, to the best of your ability with honesty and integrity, and rest easy at the end of the night, you are the one who has done the job well done. Well, I guess that's all for now. Enjoy the day!
