    Clarence, I agree with you completely that older generations follow the motto “a hard day’s work for an honest day’s pay”. I work with a few older employees and they work 5x harder than some of the younger employees I work with. I also received a 35 on my EI test which I was not surprised of either. I have a very high work ethic and have very little time for play in my job. I do need to learn to put myself in others shoes; sometimes this is very hard for me to do.…

    When I walk into a room full of dogs and cats in kennel it smells. I was just about to dump some trash. Suddenly, I heard a rooster was crowing from the back of nowhere, which amazes me because I never thought of a rooster could be on an adoption list. On the way out of the dumpster, they provide a doorstopper in case a volunteer was locking outside.

    It was just another day, another day to get to the country club and make some more friends. I woke up around 6:00 o’clock to get ready. I put on my makeup, my red lipstick, and my red dress. I had on white tennis shoes, almost the color of pearls. I walk outside and it seems to be very foggy and gloomy, almost to the point that you can’t see 5 feet in front of your face.…

    The last few weeks that I worked at that company were extremely depressing, and my morale took a serious blow. Business was slower than molasses in January, and I had begun scraping the bottom of the barrel just so that I could keep working.

Basically, it was like I was working at a call center, except that I wasn’t selling anything. Regardless, most of the people I called misunderstood my call as a sales call, and either hung up on me or just didn’t answer.…
