Virgil

Have you ever worked with one of those guys that can be annoying,funny and make a lasting impression on you. I have worked with several over the years and without mentioning anyone in particular I'll simply call these guys Virgil. Let's paint a portrait of Virgil. Virgil's in his mid twenties. He has blond hair that's never combed. As a matter of fact some days he'll come in with hair sticking up on his head. He walks with a gimp. He kind of slobbers when he talks. Sometimes he gets you wet with spit.Sometimes the clothes he wears has so many holes in it that it makes you wonder how it all stays together. Now I wouldn't classify the kid as homely but he has been up in the ugly tree and has broken a few limbs on the way down. I'm sure you have all worked with practical jokers in the past and some of their antics can be quite funny. But I noticed with Virgil's generation the decline in our public school systems and what they are not teaching today's youth. It just seems like the public schools are pushing the kids through school and giving them the answers to tests just to get them out of there hair. One of my purposes in life is to attempt to educate the Virgil's out there and get them to use there own brains. One thing that does impress me with Virgil's generation is their ability to question people's motives and actions. They do not take advice freely. If and old man gives them advice that is basically sound advice they will still question it until they get it in their own minds that it logical and sound advice. So to all the Virgil's out there in the world keep doing what makes you the happiest.
