I was stunned and quite pleased yesterday on my visit to get a new card for my work at the Social Security Administration office in Oregon City yesterday. I had to wait about a half an hour, but it was really quite pleasant. When I first got there a very helpful, chatty security guard pointed out how to use the machine to log my visit. Then the guy who worked with me to get my card was seemed so contented, I asked him if he liked his job.
He said, “I love my job. I have been here eleven years.”
He want on to explain briefly why he loved his job–meeting and helping people, working with other good people, etc. I LOVE to hear that kind of thing. It really caught me by surprise. I am super happy to know their are people really going for it a one or two places in government. I wish there was a way to get that going throughout.
