So I’ve been at the new job for almost exactly one month. And since I’m sure you’ll ask, I am enjoying it. There are days when I think I know what I’m doing and days when I barely tread water trying to figure out what in the world I’m suppose to be doing.
Not too bad for the first month.
As I said when I started, I work for a small office in one of the counties near to where I live. The office is kind of complicated because it is set up by state law, but funded by the county where it is located, but I’m actually considered an employee of the elected board that oversees the work that I do. (If you can follow that you are doing fairly well.)
Basically I am a government employee that falls in a crack as far as whether I should be lumped in with the county (I am for somethings) or the state (other things), but anyway you slice it, my office is a government workspace.
So Monday evening I was meeting with the town board for one of the towns in the county. I hadn’t been into their office before but imagine my surprise when I discover painted on one wall of their meeting room “God give me strength…”
ah what???
Great.
But that got topped on Tuesday night when my board had a meeting. I had been in the meeting room all of twice since I started. Once for a general check out and then again to look at some old stuff piled on the side of the room.
Last night I sat down across from this:
Good grief.
Needless to say, the poster came down first thing this morning. I didn’t bother asking anyone so we’ll see if they notice it and comment.
Separation of church and…what?
I feel your pain.
Oh. My. Stars. and Garters.
Un-believable. You are EXACTLY what this un-named county needs.
And this Meg, is why I love you. lol
Two thumbs up, Meg!
From the first words on the poster I could have quoted the rest, and in my head I was singing a song based on this verse that we used to sing in children’s church.
