Scenes from the Street - The Sidewalk Business Pep Talk

Every now and then if you're riding your bike in the morning you can spot a group of people huddled together on the sidewalk.  In the midst of these people is someone seemingly barking at them, all while the rest of the group stands there like attentive soldiers.

It looks like this:

Sometimes it's business people in suits, like the picture.  Sometimes it's restaurant employees in uniforms.  And sometimes it's even hair salon employees in, well...crazy Chinese haircuts.

No matter who is involved, it's always fun to stop and watch for 10-15 seconds.  But no longer than that because after 15 seconds or so you just start to feel bad for the underlings.

It probably depends on the boss, but I think I could see these pep talks actually working.  "Sell more printers."  "Get your orders right."  "Cut that person's hair into a Chinese mullet."  There's some potential here.

The only thing I don't like about seeing these sidewalk-business-pep-talks is knowing that, as a future pastor, I won't get to implement them.

Just kidding....I totally will.

(Unrelated note:  Please pray for my future congregation.)
