I thought I would take a break from vacation journaling to bring you up to date on my quest for a part-time job. Let's call this series "Larry's Bogus Journey."
During Fourth of July week I was informed by one of the agencies I have been working with that a Protestant-run retirement community was interested in my payroll expertise and wanted to interview me on July 14th. They would get back to me later with the time. So...July 14th arrived and I sat at my kitchen table waiting for the telephone to ring. As my mother said in an oft-quoted, famous family recording I once made, "Here I sit with my education." Finally, at 2:30, the long-awaited call arrived. It was the lady from the recruiting agency. "Here is what they told me," she began. "You would soon be bored and ready to leave, so they are no longer interested in interviewing you." "Wow," I replied. She concluded our conversation with, "That's what you get for being a good employee."
Rather than go into a long tirade I will simply leave you with one of my favorite quotes, from the French mathematician and Catholic philosopher Blaise Pascal. "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction." Amen.
