  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I recently applied for a job...

I've been doing this a lot lately, looking for a job. Times are tough and pastors' pay isn't all that great, even with the master's degree.

At any rate, I applied for a word processing job. Pay was adequate, although well under what I am used to getting paid. But hey, we figured a bit of "mad money" would be nice.

Today I got an email from the company stating that they believed me to be overqualified and they were looking for someone with LESS qualifications.



Really now.

If I wasn't willing to take a $10/hour paycut (based on previous job salaries), I wouldn't have applied for the job.

I've never understood being denied a job because I'm over-qualified. This is TWICE now that it's happened. It's really frustrating too because I KNOW I'm over-qualified for the job. But I'm not qualified ENOUGH for the jobs I really want. (Stupid college degree)

I hope I find that happy medium soon - find that company that will hire me because I've got mad skillz or whatever and then pay me what I'm actually worth.

Oy.
