Weekend Kindness
Reaching Others Through Kindness

I wrote this series to try to give you some background into what has happened to me in the past, with the acknowledgment that this is something that the Lord is continuing His work on me in the present.

It would be one thing if this happened way back when and did not recur, but the fact that I?ve come into many different circumstances where I the underling was placed into a position where I was in charge, only to train someone to replace me and then feel as if the person replacing me is micromanaging me or I have a feeling of superiority where they shouldn?t be one? this prompted me to write of my experience with a look back (and forward) of some bits of advice that I could offer someone going through a similar circumstance, with the hopes that we?ll get it right the next time it happens.

So what do you do if you have a boss that?s making girls cry, that?s making your life frustrating, and is micromanaging your time together?

It was pretty nerve wracking.? I only worked a part time job in my final year of high school, so when I went to college and knew that I would have to work to help pay my college bill, I was hoping to get a position doing Database entry.? The night that they announced the positions, I found that I was going to be placed in the Dining Common at BJU, and I was not looking forward to it.

Fortunately, I was placed in the serving area?as one of the guys that brought the food out of the warmers and placed it in the area to be served.? A job that gave me access to people as well as a chance to demonstrate my ability to get things done.
