When someone up and left and hadn't been doing their job for a while or when there is a software conversion and some cleanup needs to be done or covering for someone on a leave of absence or medical leave. Some assignments are great...some, not so much.
I finished an assignment at a law firm last week and went out on a new assignment today. Well, this is going to be interesting. Not counting the fact the commute is awful there are some other...shall we say - issues.
It's at a rather large Baptist church. It's in an area that serves very wealthy people...like people who own their own planes and have regular appointments with their plastic surgeons. This church has been around since the 50s and has been built onto and from what I can tell - takes in a shit ton of money.
So, yeah... the accounting office is in the basement of the original part of the church with the sanctuary above. I spent over 90 minutes with the safety guy who went over everything from stranger danger to tornados to bomb threats to active shooter protocol. There are nearly 170 cameras - monitored - on the grounds, inside and out. God must be slacking if they need all that - I wonder if the evolve fish on my back window is now part of some secret threat file.
Looking at three months possibly on this gig.
Many churches today do not trust God to protect them and have methods laid out for themselves, the stranger danger could be a cause for concern as the cars could be broken into during services or even while daily work is going on, so be glad they are even looking out for your car evo-fish and all.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
