Don't Know Nothin' About Nothin'

     We have all seen the re runs on Hogan's Heroes. Sargent Schultz would say "I see nothing, I know nothing." Another old saying, fat, dumb and happy. That may be all you need to get by. If you know too much you become a threat. If you are in too good of shape people become envious. If you do not act happy you are tagged as negative. 
     So maybe if you are not on top of the heap, you should be just fat, dumb and happy. As you are just a cog in the wheel. It is just as well if you just get shoved into the slots you are supposed to. You can make all the money you need to buy all the junk food and stupid things that are in style. Sheep to the slaughter. 
     Meet some girl. She is cute. She gets pregnant. You have a child. She gets fat and mean. You go to work. So you can buy all the stupid stuff you are supposed to. You go in debt. Keeps you on the ball. To start the cycle over again. 
     But that is just the way most of us have to live. It is a wonder that we can even share the same roads, facilities and world with the upper crust. But we do. And they tolerate us. So everything can be OK. 
     Maybe we need to develop an Irish attitude.Take care of what is important and worry less about the rest.
     I see the most amount of laziness going on at work. My blood pressure goes through the roof. Everyone else looks at me like an idiot. Perhaps I am. I am no longer assuming responsibility for things. Everyone has a check list. But it does not seem to be getting done to the satisfaction of management. So they are going to be required to close at night. Takes the responsibility off me. But the department managers are not happy. 
     Last night I had to stay real late to get the job done. When we finally thought we were done I had one of the store managers give a final walk to see that we were actually done. This took the responsibility off me and the others I worked with. What a great idea.
