Yikes! Did I write that? I just broke etiquette rule #95431.6 about dissing one’s coworkers online. What an idiot! Sorry, guys, a little too much passion, there. Here I am blathering about people not being compassionalte, and I’m acting the same….

I run a small warehouse. About once a month I hire two or three guys from a temp agency to help unload an 18-wheeler. Today is just such a day. Two hours into the unloading one fellow, the oldest of three, asked to go home - he was sick. OK, I thought, no biggie. After he left, two coworkers came to me and asked why he left early. “Was he useless?” one asked. My other coworker wanted to know if I let him go,too. The assumption both were making is that temp help are bottom-of-the-barrel workers, too stupid or too lazy even for the manual labor we use them for. People forget that many people who utilize the temp agancies are between job or just at a low point in their lives. They are not scum.
To me, people who forget temp workers are people just like them are scummy.
Blogger test number one. I’m currently trying out the various applications for blogging. This is one. I have a site hosted by Earthlink, here, but I’m looking for the “perfect” software package, if it exists. Any suggestions?
