firings, destruction, and socio-enviromental ethics
We've got a three and a half person crew (one works part time with us) that runs the A-dog kennels. On Wednesday one of them got fired. On Thursday (largely in response to the firing) the other full-timer put in his two weeks notice. Which means I'm going to get two new co-workers in the next three weeks. I friggin hate training people. But maybe this time I'll be the one training, and maybe we can get them started on the right foot. In the meantime I'm going to work massive overtime hours. The money will be nice, I suppose.
I've really been thinking about writing lately, yet I haven't written anything except a few emails. Gotta start somewhere. I've been working out more. I got a key to the gym at my apt, so now I have access to an elliptical machine 24hrs a day.
Still fighting the good fight against dark thoughts and self-destructive behavior.
I got An Inconvenient Truth from netflix two weeks ago, and haven't been able to watch it yet. I find a lot of criticism about the way we treat the world around us, and the damage we do. I went to a lecture a few months back about "a new environmental ethic." Yet despite all our good intentions we don't make the kinds of choices, as a community, or even individually, that are really going to make a differences. I could talk for hours about pollution, destruction of habitat, expanding human communities, loss of species, selfish behaviors, but I don't take the bus to work. Or buy in bulk. And when I need some wood for my next project I buy at Home Depot. Has our desire for convenience formed habits in us that limit our potential to save our planet and ourselves? Or are we just too damned lazy to do what needs to be done?
Hahaha, the spell-check gizmo wants me to change "friggin" to "frig gin," which sounds nice right about now.
