Honesty

Honesty

        Honesty - everyone has a definition of that word. Some people like to be honest in only what they say versus what they do. I have always strive to be honest with myself, then it is easier to be honest with others. I am not saying I am 100% honest I just try to be. I learned a lot about honesty from my parents, who just celebrated 46 years of marriage, whom strive to be honest with everyone that they came in contact with. Whether it was in church on Sunday or work Monday to Friday. Now at times this honesty has gotten them into trouble. 

        I always strive to be honest. The last few month of my working life I was a trainer. Now I always tried to teach him how to be honest, but a common practice is to lie on your logbooks. Now i showed him what I did, for the most part it was 100% legal, but you had to fudge things a little bit to make deadlines and laws. Well because of this Practice, common among all drivers and trucking companies. The government has taken the guess work out of it and most truck and drivers use a digital logbook. I am glad it is in place, it now puts the pressure on dispatch, load planners, and the loaders to get it right not the driver to make up the time. 

          I am going to be honest in this post and ask for some help. I see many people on Kick starter and other site trying to raise money to pay medical bills. Now to me it seems a little off-pudding to be self-promoting oneself to help with your needs. Now I am not saying that they do not need the help, but to promote oneself is just off to me. Now would I love a fund raiser for me? Hell yeah who wouldn't. Could I use my blog to promote my problems and ask for help? I do not know the answer to that. I would think that I have friends that know of the situation and will do one for me, but I would never ask for it.

          What would you do with the money raised? Well I would buy a Suburban that is from this century and a nice down payment on a house. That is what I would do with it. Nothing fancy, just some needs that we have taken care but could use upgrades. So honesty is in the eye of the beholder.

           One day I will die and people will say. Well I know he was an A**hole but he was a honest A**hole.
