Or Perhaps It's The Unmoron

Or perhaps it’s the unmoron I work for now. Perhaps it’s the gentleman I work for now. The. The civilized guy I’m blessed with working for now.

Oh, you know. He’s got his drawbacks. He’s human, like the rest of us. Warty. Scummy. Has that warty and scummy side to him, like we all have. So you don’t turn him over. You avoid turning him over and looking at that side of him. But there’s a sense to him. I don’t know. Like he must be on pretty good terms with God. Must spend some time with him. Like he’s treating his Honored Guest pretty danged well and extending reasonably fine hospitality to him. Giving him the run of the house. Freedom throughout the property.

And it turns out, he’s a Jew. Belongs to the synagogue in town. Worked for him for years, on and off. At two companies. Conscientious. Works hard. Not afraid of a little hard work. Family man. Meets his commitments. Dependable. Smart as a paper cut. One of the smartest guys you’d like to meet. But friendly. And careful. And thorough. Well, but what I like most is this sense that he has an Honored Guest as well. A Guest who is honored in his house. And is granted free reign.

Goes most anywhere he likes. Feels sometimes like working for God himself. Feels sometimes like I’m speaking right directly through to Jesus himself. Who is folded in some nth dimension of space-time I can’t exactly enter into directly on a regular basis. But who is nevertheless there. Working in cahoots with this guy. This unmoron I have now for a boss.

Perhaps you do as well. Or if not, perhaps at some point you may also have the privilege of working for an unmoron such as this. I recommend it. I recommend it highly. It makes life. I don’t know. It brings it up several notches. Turns work into something I wouldn’t exactly call pure pleasure. But I would call it better. Much better than it has been. Much more like it. Much more like the way it could be, if only God were to barge in here and take over. Set the world as we know it aside. And fold us all into his dimension. Into the nth dimension. Into the heavenly dimension. Into eternity itself.
