Doing the same thing differently
4 Comments

It's oddly interesting to notice two people doing the same thing differently.  To get into work, I have to pass through a gate where people check my ID.  I don't mean this in a bad way, but the people who check my ID are like robots:  They just do what they're told.  They sometimes know why they're doing it, but sometimes they don't.  It's interesting to watch this being played out.  Some guys take a quick look at my ID and pass me through.  Other guys look more closely.  And still other guys look at my ID, turn it over, and hold it up to my face to make sure the picture matches my face.  I find it hard to believe that any of these guys got their instructions from a different person.  They were all told to do the same thing, but some guys took it literally while other guys took it slightly less literally.  It's like a psychological experiment.

I think it speaks directly to work ethic.  The one that slows you down the most is likely the one who takes his job most seriously.

He's also the one I like the least.

Funny.  I almost responded initially with, "The one who annoys you the most is likely the one who takes his job most seriously."

I agree with Rus. It's all about work ethic. I know it's annoying, but in some strange way it sort of reminds me of how I should be working. "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men," (Col 3:23).
