I woke up at 5 am. Surprise! My husband was awake earlier than 5 am and he's already having a cup of hot brewed Maxwell House coffee. He told me that he will go to work at 7 am today. What? It's Sunday today!
Anyway, that's not really a big surprise. He works everyday, even on holidays. I think he likes to check on everybody and check on every grounds at the workplace making sure everything's alright. He has to finish the renovation after the demolition done on one of the apartments he manages. He does his duty and responsibility very well. He worked so hard for the past 20 years being the manager for the townhouse. He is the carpenter, pressure washerman, the grounds maintenance guy sometimes he is the plumber, he is the painter, the demolition man, lawnmower man, gardener, everything he can do it as a handyman. Moving heavy appliances, carrying heavy loads dumping them to dumpsites. Heavy loads! HEAVY! No man would do that heavy load lifting. Let others do it and you'll pay and be shocked of how much you'll pay somebody to do it. I almost said to my husband that he is not a machine to carry and lift heavy machines. Lately, he can't do climbing up to the roof to fix shingles after the storm, he let other contractors do it for hefty sum of monies. Too high of roofs even if you have ladders. You will need helicopter. lol. Sometimes, better safe than sorry. He tried to save and help lessen the cost of fixing things for the company he works for. He is that very loyal to the company.
A medal and recognition for his excellent job for more than twenty years? Are you kidding me? There is nothing like that in the workplace here in Canada. Be happy if you have a job > this is what employees and employers need to know. Be happy that employees and employers have a job to work on. However, you should not abuse the good side of a man. That's all I can advise to many employers.
Loyalty seems to be a factor in being a good worker actually turns out the best of him as if the company belongs to him but it belongs to somebody else.
So, it's Sunday today. I wonder what the homily on Sunday, the 21st of July 2019.
