The Bureaucrat

His job means more to him than anything on this earth. What is his job, anyway? His job has a title and a classification. But his real job title is " I keep my job." I can't blame a guy for wanting to keep his job. Especially if the job has good benefits, ie, good salary with periodic raises, health, dental, and optometric benefits, overtime, vacations, holidays and a very attractive retirement plan. Who can blame him? Nobody, really. Unless you are the type of person that believes in a "day's pay for a day's work." He works for the government. Ask him a question. He will quickly respond by saying: "Thats' not my department, the guy who knows is on vacation, sorry." He is the bureaucrat. He is afraid of getting in trouble so he can't help you. He is afraid of violating policy so he will do nothing to help you. You mean nothing to him. There is no room to help you. His interest lies only in keeping his beloved job and possibly advancing to a higher position. He can't take chances because he operates with the mentality of "worse case scenario." WCS may never happen but he is sure to make his decisions based on WCS. Things can't get done because of WCS. The public will not be served. But that is okay as long as his job is safe and he takes no chances. The bureaucrat has acquaintances, possibly even some friends.........other bureaucrats. That is his world. He is afraid to wander far from it. Service is not his motto. "I must keep my job is his motto." "I must adhere to policy," is his motto. It is hard to fire him. He has seniority. He is a hard-core bureaucrat. He is thinking of his next vacation.

Gender Identification?

I believe in freedom. Freedom is precious to me. Nevertheless, I am firmly convinced that a person's gender is determined at the moment of conception. It is not determined at any other time. It is not determined by a person's "desire to be a man or a woman." Transgender should be considered illegal because it is a blatant lie. Either a person is a man or a person is a woman. He/she cannot be both. I am aware that we do not live in a perfect world. Shocking things have happened and will continue to happen. Please do not misunderstand me. I have stated that I believe in freedom. I believe that a person can dress any way he/she wants to dress. There are laws against nudity in public places. There are laws regarding indecent exposure. If a man is out in public dressed like a woman and attempting to deceive people, He is deviant, and he better stay out of public women's restrooms.

But He Saved Some Money

He didn't use the radio of his car. He never used the AC. Often times he did not turn on the lights of his car at night. He was trying to extend the life of his car battery. One night he had his car lights off while he drove on a dimly lit road. He hit a man who was walking his dog. He seriously injured the pedestrian. He also damaged his headlight (which of course was not on) and a fender. That night he may have saved 6 cents from not using his battery. The damage to his car was over $800.00. But he saved some money. Maybe 6 cents. Speaking of vehicles: a certain man was the manager of a large gift, jewelry and tool store. He had a very dependable delivery truck he used to pick up and deliver goods. He did not like to have the truck maintained and serviced. He wanted to save money, so he only spent money on gasoline for the truck. After many months; the engine had absolutely no oil. The engine became inoperable. It was ruined. By not changing the oil and filter; he was able to save around $80 per year. To fix the damage done to the truck through neglect; would cost $3,000.00. The corporation fired the manager and bought a new truck. But he had saved them some money.
The young man had snuck into the high school footbal game many times by jumping over the fence. He did not want to spend $5.00 for a ticket. Tonight he was sporting his brand new $45.00 jeans. He was at the game waiting for his chance to climb over the chain link fence. He saw his chance. He moved quickly. But he was not careful enough. He ripped his brand new jeans on the fence. He got into the stadium. He ripped a brand new pair of $45.00 jeans. But he saved some money. Five bucks.

But She Saved Some Money

She kept her house dark. She didn't want to spend too much money on electricity. It was late at night, she left her bedroom to go to the kitchen. She could not see that the hall door was closed. She walked fast. She hit the door with her face. She broke her nose, but she saved some money. She went shopping for some small rugs to cover certain parts of her home that had hardwood floors. She saw some rugs that she liked. They cost $2.49. The back had a non-skid surface. She started to buy 4 of them. Then she saw some others that were $.99 each. She thought of the savings. She noticed that they were smooth on the back side. They were not non-skid. She bought them anyway to save some money. A few days later, she was in a hurry to answer the phone, she slipped on one of the rugs. She fell and injured her back. But she saved some money. She forgot about some beans that were in the refrigerator. The problem is that they had been there too long. She did not want to waste them. So she ate them. She got food poisoning and almost died. But she saved some money.
