Dealing with people

I guess I'm just going to have to lower my standards as far as what to expect from certain people. I think I'd be a lot less aggravated if I did this! If you don't expect much, you don't get disappointed as much. Good grief.

I wish Ken and I had more time to help with Seth's extracurricular stuff. We were so lucky to get a FANTASTIC basketball coach (and his wife that helped so much). Why can't everybody put in even HALF that much effort when they do something? Even if it's volunteer work? I mean, good grief, I cleaned toilets and swept the concourse for the Tulsa Drillers during summers in college, but even then I did a good job and didn't slack around. Even the management noticed and thanked me time and time again. I was "just doing my job" in my eyes.

Come on. Do a good job...no matter if it's cleaning toilets or volunteering or whatever. I think it speaks volumes of a person's character (seeing how they do volunteer work, or what isn't important in the world's eyes). If you don't have time to volunteer, DON'T DO IT.
