Telephone lines and animals

We were out of service for about 5 days...no DSL, no dial tone nada...Squirrels had chewed the line and it was crossed with the neighbors. The frustration of going to the library with no privacy just to clean out email and answer any urgent messages, plus I missed a webinar I really wanted to be on too. But what can you do with a backyard of forest where animals reside? Little furry squirrels will nibble on telephone lines.

We have had hawks, vultures, snakes, racoons, foxes and one neighborhood recently reported a black bear. As less nature is available and man kind continues to encroach into the animal kingdom it will be interesting to see how this play out. If the animal kingdom is destoryed, human will not be far behind. God's design is in danger.

Interesting comments about ethics

C.S. Lewis wrote a work on ethics which was published in 1970 seven years after his death in 1963. Amazing to me is we have gotten so far off the path of ethics in business, socially, even in church!

Ethics is the core of everything and when we fail to have that as our guidance we fall as people, as a nation, as a society and certainly fall as a business. Ethics should be at the core of our very being. Sully, the pilot was asked by his young daughter what integrity was and his response was "doing the right thing even when it is not convenient." I like that response. Ethics is also doing the right thing even when it isn't convenient.

Social Media NO no's

Why does someone think if they put something on the internet that is un-ethical it is OK? Hello is anyone watching, yes, like the whole world. And you want to tweet pictures of you body to young women while serving your country? I do not think so.

Social Media is a wonderful tool when used the proper way. And illicit pictures are not one of the ways to get attention, not in my book anyway.

Our value system is broken, at least in this city. People drive in the middle of the road, they run red lights, I have received two or three thank you notes when preparing meals for people. Rules may have been made to be broken, but not all rules. Manners are still important and if your mama didn't teach you any manners stay out of my court!

Social Media

Linked In is an interesting way to look at job postings and one of the groups I belong to is telecommunication related. Someone posted a one word about the industry and interestingly enough the word was ethics...amen to that little number.
Is there any ethics in the corporate world regarding any industry. I have to think most people are good and care about the ethics, integrity, honesty, etc.

Maybe I'm wrong but I hope in some cases ethics is back on track regardless of the profession, the industry, the practices.

Wow, time does fly by

Speaking of ethics...someone has my name and of all things the person is blogging about having an affair. Good grief, why would any sane human put something like that on the internet? I wonder what makes people tick and when you witness behavior like that and why are you telling the world?

It seems we live in a world where the rich and famous think they are above the laws of God and man...and no it is not acceptable behavior to have babies out of wedlock, to raise a child without two parents and the list goes on and on and on...
