Simiple
I like simple, probably because I am, simple-minded, that is. Simple is good and uncomplicated. Life is simple if we just live it and do what we are supposed to do. It gets complicated when we choose to complicate it but hedging the truth, trying to remember what we have done or said. I think my job is simple. We provide needful things to people. We just have to listen and follow up and we are guaranteed of success. We had a wood floor demo today. It was simple. We had the right equipment, the right chemicals, the right processes and the right people. It made the job go easy because we kept it simple. I really like the people with whom I work. They are good, honest people with good hearts. They like the simple things in life. The people we serve, are, by and large, wonderful, salt of the earth people that are truthful and straightforward. I like that in people. There are no political games. There is integrity and honesty. I appreciate that. They, the people with whom we work, have an essential function to do that is considered low class and demeaning by most. It is a wonderfully complex job that makes places safe and clean for everyone. Just imagine if no one did the cleaning, there was no toilet paper, there was no soap with which to wash your hands, where would we be? Back 150 years ago with a life expectancy of 50 years. Because of the advances and sophistication of cleaning, we live longer, more productive lives. I love my job because it is simple. The people aren't "simple", they are complex yet uncomplicated. You know where you stand with them. I think that we should be more simple. Take things at face value, not look for the political or ulterior motive but trust people until they are no longer deserving of our trust. How much better would life be? Simple.
