Serving

Being an employee in the county comes with many challenges on a daily basis and must be appreciated for it's merits. With limited resources on all fronts they provide service to many citizens on a daily basis sometimes with a pay structure that does not compare to private industry. One may question why they serve in this capacity and it is found mostly due to a deep belief in the community they serve.

There are many instances where they are required to serve even if the person is being completely rude or obnoxious, yet they do it with a smile the best they can sometimes under extreme circumstances such as the Sheriffs department, yet they push forward.

It is hard for anyone to do their job when they are under the gun with negative comments coming their way, or to be pulled in multiple directions, yet they push forward.

There are many that have to work in the worst of circumstances in foul weather to clear roads, cut grass, dig ditches, yet they push forward.

When was the last time any of us actually thanked them for what they do, rather than treat them as servants to the public or treated them as those that give goodness to others, maybe we as citizens should push forward.

Since the cockroach is behaving himself for some reason, perhaps it may be time for all that have hidden under their desks to look up and be proud of what they do and what they have given to the citizens of the county. It may be an excellent time for the citizens to stop by and say thanks for what they do as well. Be the community of people that care. Let us all push forward together to continue to make this area the best it can be. Let us all continue to serve each other.

Thank you for serving us.
