Quit Whining and StartMopping
Timothy Birdnow
Trump's budget cuts has led to management cleaning toilets in national parks.
Gotta love it!
FTA:
Manual labor builds character (as Morgan Freeman, playing God Almighty, told Jim Carey in Bruce Almighty and went so far as to get Carey's character to mop the floors with Him). Too many government workers spend too much time schemeing and trying to avoid actual labor. This will do them much good. It certainly did me good; I always had jobs where I occasionally had to pitch in with cleaning or other "menial" labors - even when I was a grocery store manager. You can't ALWAYS have people for that.
For far too long government workers were "above" such things. Now they must get back in the trenches and learn what it's like to be a laborer. That's American. We must remember that there is dignity in ANY job well done. It is service to God Himself.
So quit whining and start mopping!

"SFGate acquired an internal email that detailed information about the Resources Management and Science Division’s new responsibilities as employees like wildlife specialists, biologists, and hydrologists will need to pick up at least one cleaning shift each.
The employee who relayed the email said, "I’m not above cleaning a bathroom but personally am sick of our leadership not pushing back on anything and just towing the line.”
Another email said this is not a permanent arrangement, as Superintendent Stephanie Burkhart wants employees for this work for mid-April though early May; however, that is a minimum time frame.
