“He who angers you controls you”
–seen on a marquee of a church sign near my home.
There’s a white 15 passenger van setting in my driveway as I type this. I’m making sure I don’t stop to use pay phones, especially in the metropolitan Washington area. Actually it’s the church van. I’m taking a vanload of signs to Cookeville and Sparta tomorrow. Folks just can’t get enough of those “No Lottery” signs. I felt guilty listening to “Jane Says” by Jane’s Addiction in the church van driving home from church. The song isn’t vulgar or anything (actually it’s pretty cool – when was the last time you hear a Jamacian style kettle drum in a rock song?).
I taught the great footwashing episode of John 13 to the 5th and 6th graders tonight. For the most part it went ok. Some of the boys just couldn’t keep quiet. I’d much rather see them keep quiet when the Bible is being read. Might have to separate them. Anyways I hope the class got something out of the lesson. Sometimes I really don’t know if they are actually listening. But then they say something later on which reminds me that they are listening, even when you don’t think they are.
I tried going to a particular consulting agency today. Out of the numerous ones I called, this was the only one which was staffed with a live person – the rest had voicemail – which they don’t bother returning messages. I told this particular consulting agency that I was looking for a job in the IS field. They told me to come in and fill out an application. When I arrived, I started filling out an application. 5 minutes later they told me that applicants looking for IS jobs should submit their resume online. So there was no need for me to come in. It is frustrating. Why bother anymore?
This is what breaking news is turning into these days
What its like working at a gas station in Maryland.
