Being Part of the Team

J left early this morning to have his first in-service with the Parks and Rec department.  He got recertified with his CPR and then they went over the employment papers.  He called us around lunchtime and told us that he didn't think he wanted to work there.  I just listened.  He said he'd tell us all about it when he got home.  I mentioned J's comment to Hubby who only said, "They must have a bunch of immature kids this year."  The lifeguards at the city pool are notorious for their elitism and snobby behavior, but I must admit I was surprised that J was willingly to throw in the towel.

Let's just suffice it to say that when he got home and told us what had been said and done during lunch and classtime - we had NO problem with him telling his boss that he couldn't take the job.  (think sexual comments and thievery)   J just said,  "I can not in good conscience be a part of that team." We prayed and then made the stipulation that he go out on Monday and try to see if the Y would have any openings.  One thing we do know about the Y is that the type of language, conversation, and behaviors discussed would never be allowed there.
