Touchy subjects…

I really need to watch that… it’s been on the TiVo FOREVER.
Anyhoo.
My favorite recruiter - the one working harder for me than anyone else - found a position that is, in every way, shape, or form, perfect for me.
Except that it’s at Sig Sauer.
I don’t do guns.
I just don’t.
And my reasons are ridiculously personal.
It goes against everything I am. Everything I believe in.
I don’t care that I’m not my job.
I don’t care that guns don’t kill people, people kill people.
As one person said to me: “The only other subject I’ve known you to be so touchy about is alcohol.”
I told him to put two and two together. Then I told him something I’d NEVER told anyone before.
I pointed out that for everything I’m so open about, there’s several I refuse to talk about.
This is one of those things.
I’m not going to work there.
I don’t care what it means for us financially because I’d hate myself every single day.
And I can’t live like that.
