Pick Up A Shovel

My former boss Josh was a guy who always moved. If you could share two sentences with him you'd be lucky. I recall a deadline had to be metnby weekend's end, and he had to.come into the office to confirm I had gotten the job complete.

We have a vault full of disinterested people. The vault houses our media. Film or hard drives, shipping and receiving. As with most unsatisfactory jobs, the employees do it when they feel like it. In this case, the left an entire project, palettes of film to be transferred in another area queued to be rewound. Film is linear. Must be rewound back to the beginning (heads).

Josh was alerted to this fact. He didn't do what most supervisors do. Call up the manager of that department and question why. He called me and we both went and picked up the palette as I rewound the film. A supervisor who walked a dolly with film. Let me repeat...a supervisor who is unafraid of getting dirty and working.

I think Trump believes the same thing. He has a clear checklist on his plate and (like I am) cannot/will not procrastinate. Because that is when things don't get done. Washington doesn't work the same. They bill beat each other to submission until you leverage a little and they leverage a little. Which, for the life of me, never understood how this was acceptable to the American people. Trump sin't doing anything he didn'y say he was going to do. He has no other agenda than to do. Pick up a shovel and dig. Just fucking get it done. Why...I mean why do some people hate this?

Every thing he's done so far is to the benefit of the American people. It is the right of the people to do their best to show their anger. But...if you're not shoveling next to him...get the fuck out of the way. Because we need to do...something. anything is better than making backdoor deals with lawyers. That's when shit doesn't get done.

This could simply be all smoke and mirrors too. I am not proficient enough in seeing the end game. But it is weird that the media doesn't seem to latch ontonl the American spirit I grew up with. Roll up your sleeves and get to digging. Instead of sitting on yout ass and whining. The entitlement led to complacency, led to drugs led to what you see protesting. Smart, college people don't want to physically get dirty and work. It may look like a physical workforce is the new America.
