Stuff that people can only get away with in church...
« on: November 16, 2010, 01:16:30 PM »
1.  Never showing up to do your job, but on the rare occasion you do show up you're welcomed right in to play, sing, or whatever.
2.  No adequate knowledge of the field in which you work, yet you have credentials as though you are one with expertise who has acquired some upper level education.
3.  You carry a title, but do none of the tasks that the title implies (i.e. missionary)
4.  You always arrive late but have never been reprimanded or fired
5.  You display the most horrible attitude publicly, but have never been counseled about your behavior.
6.  You are the cause of many visitors having a bad experience and never returning, but no one has ever removed you from the usher board (or whatever capacity you are in that requires 'people skills')
7.  You violate the code of conduct for the organization but still operate in your position because the person in charge is your father/close relative. (well perhaps this one happens in the secular world, too)
8.  You receive promotions without ever proving your qualifications or establishing a good record of performance/service in your current/prior assignment.


Just me thinking out loud... :D

9.  You take it upon yourself to spearhead a venture in the name of your organization without getting clearance or permission from anyone in the organization.

**falls out slain**

You KNOW I'm loving this. #8 is my favorite.

That reminds me. I wanna "borrow" you as a guest columnist one day for my blog. If you ever think of something that you think might be a good fit, please let me know.
When you're in love you don't want to fall asleep bc reality is finally better than your dreams.

10.  Invoking the Name of the Lord to impose your will, or guilt-trip someone into complying with your wishes (I HATE this one)

Leave it to Nessa!! I agree!

But you know for the most part in our organization, the money is what talks. If you got that cash, you can almost worship satan and keep a position. But let some money be missing or slack, you are GONE in a flash!

I can't think of a topic right now, but as one comes to me, I'll see if it's related to your area and just submit it to you.  A friendly reminder would be nice, lol.

I was thinking if I'm going to author an article on a fully-functioning blog, I should probably get mine up to par, so I can plug it, lol.

Fully-functioning is questionable... pray for me. LOL.

But uhhh yeah, you SHOULD get yours up to par for more reasons than the one you stated.  >:( ;D :D :D

Cool, thanks. I would forward you some of the suggestions I've gotten, but I like your inspired stuff, so I'll wait for your inspiration.  ;D :D

I got so mad at TDJ... oooooooh-ooh-OOH he made me mad. But then I remembered... money is the point. Unfortunately.  :-\

Showing up late as well.
