These times are teaching all of us…. Again. College students are home and unable to find work. Grown men and women are applying for work that was traditionally for teen-agers. Nothing like having to use grammatically correct verb-age to order your burger from your child’s English teacher or having the water park life guards try to hold in their 40 year old pooch! The wheels on the bus go round and round….
“A smart man learns from his own mistakes. A wise man learns from the mistakes of others.”
When will we be wise? In the mean time…anyone out there need a college student to work during the summer? She is pleasant, funny, smart, bi-lingual and cute. Doesn’t have a college degree yet, but is willing to flip burgers and/or has a VERY tiny waist. No pooch yet!
This is called networking. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Like it?
For our “Monday Night Discussion,” I choose to explore the idea of time management. So I gave everyone 2 minutes to write not 100, but 10 items to put on their bucket list. That would be a list, for non-movie goers, of things you want to do before you die. Most did not finish the list in 2 minutes, which supported many mini concepts. AnyWAYS, (effort to bug Ben) I quickly addressed the concept of JOY and what the heck are we doing right now to make those plans happen. Then in keeping with the idea of time is valuable I said, the end. They all looked at me like…. Really? THEY wanted everyone to share. “But wait” I said, “I thought you were all in a hurry to get back to your video game, movie night, cat nap, texting, facebooking and all those time robbing, soul stealing, depressing induced activities?” “No, lets share.” Chris’ by far were the funniest as usual. I don’t know if I got the point across because I myself am in a mid life frenzy and…. someone is texting me. The end.
