A morning of calls Wednesday, September 07, 2005 As I sit here mor productive than what I know I will be at work I have received much info about the volunteer info. The sad news is that the only thing open right now is call center work, and that is like kryptonite to superman. I am so burned out and that is the only way I can help? I did call center work for 5 years, and well let's say I got burned real nice from it. I don't think I can ever be of any help on the phone like that ever again. Might as well to tell me to work in a part of town I am the only white guy there in a racist neaghborhood. I'll feel just as good. But more stuff might come open but I would need to keep on the lookout. The sad thing is if I don't know soon, I cannot use my time off for it, and if I schedule it, when I get the call I could be out of luck to help. I just want to help but I want the chance to be there hands on, not hiding behind a phone, yet I know that they really need that help and it isnt tech support. But the hidng behind a phone...it has hurt for so many years. For me call center = suffering, great immense suffering. Yet I know that Christ did far more than I...so should I take his example and follow? Suck it up as was said in sermon a while back? Maybe. Yet why is it I went from wanting to do anything to help to slightly angry? posted by Tom at 9:03 AM 1 Comments:  Bobby said... I know what you mean about call centers. I've done plenty of that kind of work. It makes me ill just thinking about it. Ugh. I'd rather dig ditches. Wednesday, September 07, 2005 11:56:00 AM   Post a Comment << Home

Smooth let it be or rough, It will be still the best; Winding or straight, it leads Right onward to Thy rest. I dare not choose my lot; I would not, if I might; Choose Thou for me, my God, So I shall walk aright. Take Thou my cup, and it With joy or sorrow fill, As best to Thee may seem; Choose Thou my good and ill. Choose Thou for me my friends, My sickness or my health; Choose Thou my cares for me My poverty or wealth. The kingdom that I seek Is Thine: so let the way That leads to it be Thine, Else I must surely stray. Not mine, not mine the choice In things or great or small; Be Thou my Guide, my Strength My Wisdom, and my All. ~Horatius Bonar
