Work related- opinions?

Jesus is my homeboy.

If I had to guess, I bet Jesus doesn't like super humongous sigs.

He probably cringes everytime someone brings his name or his father's name up at an awards show too.

Ha!
I see my priest in a few days. I can ask him and clear up all the confusion.

Totally unprofessional, but not something I would get worked up about.

The locals say stuff like that all the time (not to the tourists though). It was really odd at first, but now I'm use to it. They are not trying to convert me, it's just the way they express themselves. You should see when the housekeeping department starts praying, singing and all the "amens" and "praise the lords" being said during a departmental meeting. I'm sure the corporate guys in DC would flip out if they knew, but that is just how the local people are here.

Funny enough after all the 'praise the lord' and 'amen' they totally flirt with each other and some major sexual innuendo is going on. Again, corporate would have would die if they knew.

I work at a church, and we don't say that at the end of phone conversations, unless we know the person on the other end of the line. The voicemail message DOES end with "Have a blessed day", though. Which I think you should sort of expect, if you're calling a church.

What about when Kathy Griffin tells him to suck it at an awards show?

I don't know...if I gave someone some great talent, I wouldn't mind if they publicly thanked me for it!

BecW2be · March 2010

Jesus loves me. This I know.

bbyckes · March 2010

Even if the "talent" is penning music singing about how hard it's out there for a pimp? I'm thinking this might be one situation where he might give the side-eye. haha

jasmineh7777 · March 2010

I reiterate Capri, his bff was a former prostitute.

Well like you said, no one knows what he likes or dislikes.

SwedishChick2011 · March 2010

I don't think it's unprofessional to say "Have a blessed day" or "God bless." If it is, then it's also unprofessional to say "oh my God" or "for Christ's sake" or even "Merry Christmas," which people say all the time. (I try not to say the first two things, but that's for religious reasons, not professional reasons.)

I think a boundary is crossed when people try to push their religious views on someone at work. I think even talking about it (to an extent) is fine, but only if the other person is okay with it.

bbyckes · March 2010

I love it Jazmine. I guess he might know how hard it is out there for a pimp. (Not calling Jesus a pimp).

btrflykate1230 · March 2010

I do think it's quite unprofessional! I'd be super irritated too. Couldn't he have said "Have a nice day" or something?

crfische · March 2010

Pimpin' ain't easy.

I work in a god damned religious organization. We talk about the Jebus a lot.

crfische · March 2010

DONT YOU KNOW?!

Nice=Blessed. It's in the thesaurus.

jasmineh7777 · March 2010

My problem is with imperative sentences as a whole. Don't tell me what to do with my day. I was planning on a sacrilegious day, thank you very much.

Stackeye210 · March 2010

I was a lady pimp for Halloween one year. Yep, costume FAIL!

Anyways, I don't see the big deal. I think it's nice that someone is thoughtful enough to hope my day is blessed. Of course it packs more meaning to me when it isn't recorded and they say it in person. To each their own, because I'll always wish someone a Merry Christmas, Happy Easter, Happy Thanksgiving.........I don't expect them to get offended because I wouldn't be offended if they don't say it back, or tell me Happy Hanukkah. I guess I'm just one big pile of not caring, because it's someones personal expression, there's no ill will behind it.

squirrly · March 2010

I find it incredibly unprofessional, so long as your profession doesn't involve religion or blessings in any way. Religion shouldn't be shoved at people.

True story - Giddeons or something similar came to the house last weekend. I was expecting my mom and sister, else I wouldn't have opened the door without checking it first. He darn near got his wrist broken when he shoved it in the door as I was closing it. The dog was trying to get out - Bullet did NOT like that guy, and our dog is a great judge of character thus far.

jasmineh7777 · March 2010

I really do not like when religious groups go door to door. Religion is not a product for a traveling salesman. I like that my church plays hard to get.

ac_in_dc · March 2010

Sorry if I was getting judgy, but I'm in a bitchy mood today, so it may continue...let me go see if there's anything I can whine about on the posts that have shown up in the last 30 minutes

I think all of those phrases are unprofessional.
