Power

Today at work everything went out. Just not all at once. The phones had their problems on and off all day. Some issues we could work through, others we could not. Working in a call center requires more than good communication skills. It requires working equipment.

Later in the day, the lights went out. Actually all the power went out, but most of us had some sort of box that kept the computers on so we didn't notice that all the power was off. Eventually all the glitches of the day were fixed and it was business as usual. For those with the power boxes, it was business as usual, only without the lights.

Something keeps us going when things go awry in the world around us. It's not a big black box, but there is a power that keeps us going. Find the source of that power and you may dim now and then, but you will never go out.
