God just told me to go get a coke so I can make it through the afternoon.

I got one for you, my mother-in-law is getting bids for a new roof. You’d think this would be easy, but well you’d have to meet her. When we were over there for mother’s day I was idly looking through all the different bids and brochures she had I noticed that one of them had a rather prominent Jebus fish on the cover. I made some remark about it. I have to tread softly because they are Presbyterian and I’m well uh hm not.

I affected my most professional dealing with clients demeanor and pointed it out and said that what bothers me about that type of thing is that I believe that religion should be a personal and not a business matter. If he put a fish in the cover of his brochure, he did it for a reason and I would be willing to bet money that it has to do with what my daddy always calls “churching”.

She called Angie’s List. I don’t know how wide spread Angie’s List is so that may not make sense. It’s a group that tracks customer satisfaction for home repair work.

So, Christ the Adderall has worn off where was I.

Ah yes, Angie’s List informed her that he had several complaints against him, not covering roof leading to rain damage that he refused to fix, damaging gutter systems that he refused to fix, not showing up when he was supposed to. It was a hell of a rap sheet.

If I were a Christian, that kind of thing would piss me off. I mean, what kind of message does that send to people like me.
