Managing the younger generation is a real challeng

[rgcraig]

I'm beginning to suspect she is a habitual liar - this is just the first real proof of it.

She tends to tell grandious stories that we've all questioned her on, but no proof.

She's 22. Whatever we discuss she is an expect on it.

She actually argued with me one time about the new cubicle walls in another building. Long story, but she said they went to the ceiling - - I said, no they are regular cubicle height. She basically stood in my face and said I didn't know what I was talking about.

I politely suggested that we walk over there together and I'll show her they are regular height. She said, no, I know what I saw.

Okay.....so when she went to sit at the receptionist desk it took her 15 minutes to get there -- we assumed she had walked over to the other building to look. Never heard another peep out of her.

I don't like liars and know-it-alls that know nothing!

Hey don't talk to me like that...Oh wait you said, "Liars" nevermind.

These things are serious character flaws...I just dealt with some .......................... whatever took them all over them telling of their great call...spent money on them...only for them to return to the states and say GOD changed HIS MIND...
and believe it or not some pastors believe that! lol...

They need to be sat down and told GOD does not lie...and REAL mission work like about any other thing is NOT a FREE lunch...

In 40 plus years have seen that happen quite a few times...when people see work is work unless they are really called they are on the next plane home...

I guess I am getting old and cranky but I am tired of people coming to the field for a free lunch or to find a boyfriend or girlfriend...

I know what you mean--I do not like liars either.

But at a place of employment where you want to build trust, she is only making it harder for self by developing a reputation as a liar.

It's one thing to make a mistake, but once you have a bad reputation no one trusts you.

I have seen people weep and put on a hollywood act that would fool about anyone...

a mistake is one thing but to lie and lie and lie is another thing...

Love you dear friend.

Wow seriously?!

What kind of a person goes on the mission field to find a boyfriend? Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

Although, I must say I just heard a story like this in Singapore- an American found an Asain young man to marry and there is a 20 yr gape in their ages. Seems a little strange to me.

We had a young guy in the group that would argue and argue with our sup. She tolerated it well. I think the guy would have argued with a concrete wall.

He was a "know it all" type too.

strange Know it all´s usually have nothing to show for their great knowledge...
