That is a distinct possibility. Speaking on the subject of "working for the church," I work for BYU and I consider it simply a job. I happen to work for some LDS people, but I don't consider the church to be part of my job. Nothing irritates me more than to have people call me "Brother Torrie" at work. This is just not appropriate and not professional. Other irritants include people who bring up the subject of "sacred tithing funds" when it suits their agenda while conveniently ignoring that idea (money is money) when that suits them. To me, money is money. I don't care what the source is. If I have any integrity at all, I'll treat all money that I'm given to work with with care and concern. I guess I'm trying to say the idea of working for BYU should be thought of and treated differently from working for any other entity is fallacious, at least as far as how you relate to the job. The work environment is another issue. Michael /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
