Temp (and soon to be fired) employee Michael Spears writes an excellent blog post on the pitfalls, stresses, and successes of working at The Living Word (my Christian Bookstore).... including a Top 5 List of Lessons Learned @ TLW... below are my faves.
4. Everyone thinks they're entitled to something free. Because after all Christianity is like some sort of club right?
3. If the Bible doesn't say 'Holy' on it, then it's "straight from the devil."
1. Joel Osteen needs you to buy his book, his study guide, his boardgame, and his other book to support his ministry. [all of these are also available in Spanish]
Thanks, Mike. Really. Just please tell me you didn't write this while on the clock.
You say..."(soon to be fired)". Are you going to fire this guy because of his blog post?

Bach, it's a well known fact that I fire each of my employees at least 3 times a week. Keeps them humble and continues to push the concept that I am, in a word, nuts.
Strangely, they keep coming back... Probably because I keep paying them...
Side note, Donald Trump is my hero...

I'm not quite sure if I was on the clock. I know I was at the store and it was around 8 when I posted this. [I dont' know why, but the time at the bottom of my posts is never right]
I think if you refer to #2 on my list of things learned, I believe that was currently happening.
