My hometown is a sleepy, small farming community that barely makes it on to the map. The town is known for having more cows than people.
The landscape is beautiful, but in general, it is a conservative, Republican area. In case you missed it, I am a liberal lefty with a bit of libertarian mixed in. That being said, 2 of my best friends are conservative Republicans and we love to have a great political debate.
Since I am leaving my job in a month from today (!) I am training my replacement. For the most part, we have nothing in common. I have no idea how he will fit in to the company that I am leaving, but I hope it works out well, as I love the people I work with.
Yesterday we were driving around and I was showing him the buildings that I manage. We started to have a political debate and he clarified everything by saying that he is as liberal as they get.
Ahem.
Sir, you are not. Just because I was there to interview you and have the boss's ear on firing you does not mean that you should lie to me to ingratiate yourself.
The more I see it, the more I feel sad when people lie -- it seems like such a waste of time, and I feel empathy for them that they are not secure in themselves enough to say whatever it may be.
Anyway, this is the side observation for the week.
