Now I only see them in very special folks like you two. <br /><br />I coach youth football and I never understood the participation trophies. <br /><br />I also feel the same about those who feel they deserve a raise just because their annual review is due. What the...? That is also why I am not a big fan of unions.<br /><br />The left wing loons love this stuff though. You know, give home loans to people who are living beyond their means. Hmm... let's see, who does that. Oh yeah, ACORN, Obama's former "job interest"!<br /><br />Ok, now look what you guys did... got me all worked up!Boomerhttp://www.projectexercise.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-30606468673056436182009-10-25T21:09:15.782-05:002009-10-25T21:09:15.782-05:00Ahhh yes Steve, the always delightful Participatio...Ahhh yes Steve, the always delightful Participation Trophy! Even when I was a kid I knew those were bogus. It sure makes all the adults feel good about themselves though ;-)<br /><br />As for the raise guy, this one touches a nerve with me! They have jobs for people like this and those jobs are available via the Federal and/or State Governments.<br /><br />That stuff doesn't fly in my line of work. Each month you are measured and weighed and if you succeed the pats on the back last for about a second and you begin a new month. I only expect what I earn and never complain that my company should give me more. We all have the opportunity in this country to go out and find a new job if our current one is not paying us what we believe we are worth. But that sometimes involves substantial risk and most of the time the complainers are scared to death to take any risk and are much more secure bitching about their current job. This is by choice, unless you live in places like Venezula, China, California, and Russia!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-59463598665357821012009-10-25T13:17:08.254-05:002009-10-25T13:17:08.254-05:00Your body might be sick, but not your brain! Grea...Your body might be sick, but not your brain! Great stuff! A big "copy that" on the soccer score scenario. And to amp it up a notch, I have a problem with giving out trophies to kids who just shows up for games. Follow that logic all the way to a guy who thinks he deserves a raise just for showing up for work on time. Just doing enough to get by is reason for getting a raise?
