And you think YOUR boss is tough…

Re: updated work rules

Dear Staff,

It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If
we see you wearing Prada sneakers and carrying a Gucci bag we assume that
you are doing well financially and therefore you do not need a raise. If you
dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you
may buy nicer clothes and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress
in-between, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a
raise.

Personal Days:
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called
Saturday and Sunday.

Lunch Breaks:
Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch as they need to eat more so that
they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a
balanced meal to maintain their average size. Fat people get 5 minutes for
lunch, because that’s all the time needed to drink a Slim Fast and take a
diet pill.

Sick Days:
We will no longer accept a doctor statement as proof of sickness. If you
are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Restroom Use:
Entirely too much time is being spent in the restroom. There is now a
strict 3 minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of 3 minutes, an alarm
will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open and a
picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be
posted on the company bulletin board under the “Chronic Offender” category.

Surgery:
As long as you are employed here, you need all your organs. You should not
consider removing anything. We hired you intact. To have something removed
will constitute a breach of employment.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a
positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns,
complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations,
allegations, accusations, contemplation, and input should be directed elsewhere.

Have a nice week

For the record…

President Trump has been accused of calling many poor, violent nations a vulgar term by Sen Durbin. Trump and others deny the quote. On Twitter (@GodlyPghDad) I admitted that I found the accusation credible. I denounced the vulgarity while placing it in photographic context.

For the record, Trump made a public proclamation in honor of MLK Day.

Dr Alveda King, niece of MLK:

She stated Trump has done excellent work in highlighting the important accomplishments of her uncle, including officially declaring his Georgia birthplace a national historic park.

Sen Rand Paul:

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul brushed off suggestions that President Trump holds a racial animus against Haitians because he once supported Paul’s trip to the Caribbean nation to do free eye surgeries on poor Haitians.

No doubt, when we elect someone who isn’t a career politician there will be issues. Trump needs the class and temperament of Vice Pres Mike Pence.

Still, a little context and a lot of skepticism is in order when the media throws out the Race Card. They always use the Race Card on Conservatives after all. It’s like a lazy reflex. So don’t assume the mainstream media will give you the whole story.

New Year’s Blessing

Last year, fed up with bullying, we took a leap of faith and enrolled Naomi in The Ellis School for Girls.

The Ellis School is an independent, all-girl, college prep school in Pittsburgh.

We used our savings and believed God would help us the rest of the year. I believe God did indeed help us. A generous donation from my pastor. A large sum of money I didn’t have access to suddenly became available. For Christians, this is called walking in faith. If you think God called you to do something, you will often find that He requires you to trust Him every step of the way. He won’t give any clue how He will meet your needs. This can get nerve wracking!

This year we had no idea where the money for January tuition would come from.

The school just advised me half of January’s tuition was paid by an anonymous donor!

Happy New Year!!
