Many times throughout the last 7 years, I’ve shared busses with other workers commuting to work on my Rail System. Interaction with them and the DART drivers has given me an education which I had deprived myself of previously, because I confined myself to my cars for too long. I’m very grateful to every one of them – including the smelly ones, the snotty ones, the loud and abusive ones, and the scary ones.
Yesterday, at the end of a very long day, I followed one of these into my Dollar Tree. She signaled that she was ready to move on to a better job, as she had her travel gear with her. So today I’m reminiscing about my interactions with her while we were riding busses together.
He said: “Keep your windows clean.” Then he sent me many window washers and window repair technicians. This one was a washer. She carried her bucket with cleaning tools on the bus with her to the job sites. I wondered about those job sites, who she served and how well she performed. I also thought it was an odd job for such a beautiful woman of such slight build – but we all have our own cross to carry.
I was always glad to see her, as she radiated a deep reverence for God everywhere she carried that bucket. One day though, in a conversation with the bus driver, I had to chime in to correct her on a critical item they were discussing. It was many years ago, and I don’t recall the precise conversation verbatim, but suffice it to say that they both needed to be reminded that the Creation is NOT greater than the Creator. ‘Nuf said.
So now, at the Dollar Tree we met again. We didn’t exchange words verbally, but the mutual love was palpable. She was moving on and saying her “farewells” and I was offering her my “fare thee wells $4x”. She and I were the only ones in the store without a mask.
Really Dollar Tree? Endangering my employee's health on the job with germy masks? I think I may have to involve OSHA in this. Be aware, response is coming. But this isn't about the Dollar Tree, it's about Window Washers on my Rail System.
Department of Transportation. Those who have served my Rail System well who have their bags packed and ready to move up the ladder, yet have had their wages withheld because they refuse to pay income taxes MUST now begin to receive their back-pay along with shift differential and hazard pay, if those are due to them. Additionally, those who want to retire must receive their retirement benefits whether they are of “retirement” age or not. Get crackin’ on that please. It’s not a request – it’s a demand (respectfully). A worker is worth his/her wages. (bibble babble context, verse 4 ONLY as Kol Nidre is abominable to the Creator.)
TL;DR
How many bureaucrats does it take to clean a window? Geez, do they get paid by the word? https://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/tcrp/tsyn12.pdf
Y’all are fired.
CLEAR?
