I Can't See It From ...

That post is not exactly level, but I can't see it from my house. Oops, I ran off the road plowing and tore up a section of lawn, but I can't see it from my house. That pot hole is not that bad and I can't see it from my house. I don't care what the college does as long as I can't see it from my house. The tires are flat on that abandon car, but I can't see it from my house. The clogged drain washes out that driveway, but I can't see it from my house. So what if I my shoes are out, I can't see them from my bedroom. My flower beds are full of weeds, but I can't see it from the street.

Sometimes we run into the "I can't see it from..." attitude. It happens in our homes with our children, at work with our associates and in government employment. I am aware of a recent instance where the "I can't see it from..." behavior was manifested by city employees. If elected I will encourage the supervisors of that department to have some pep talks with employees about attitude. When the public hears a city worker saying "That will be okay, I can't see it from my house" it calls to question the calibur of workers the city employees. If a job is not completed to the best standards, don't do the job because it will have to be done again at a later date. It's sad to see employees not taking pride in their work. Yes there are tasks that are a pain in the neck. But as I tell my children, you have to do them anyway and you might just as well make the best of what ever you are doing.
