Tuesday's Tragedies

One right after another;

They just kept coming.

1.  Melinda was let go from her job as a PE teacher.  The reason given by her principal, who had never walked into her classroom:  She didn't smile enough.  Boy, I would like to hear the REAL reason because what she was told is RIDICULOUS!

2.  The homeless man had all HIS STUFF STOLEN:  walllet, ID, a few personal items.  Okay, so here's the question:  WHO STEALS FROM A HOMELESS PERSON?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!   I slipped him a $20.00 to just give him some bus money.  He agreed to come back and let us take him to a job interview....he never showed up...  Was I just suckered here?

3.  Bruce was making $28.00 an hour in California.  Here in St George - for the same work - he will make $8.00 an hour.  He can't even begin to live on that.

4.  Handsome, well-educated guy was let go from CPA firm in Las Vegas.  Can't find a job.

And, so it goes.

Just another Tuesday at the LDS Employment Center.

If you were prompted to give that fellow $20.00, then you are never a sucker. You followed your heart. My Mom always said "It's not what they do, it's what we do!" And if he never comes back don't assume the worst, just know you did your part and perhaps 'life' got in the way of his return intensions.

OH, Those Wonderful Grandkids....

 How I LOVE THEM!
