Maybe sometime I will fill out some more details, but this is a beginning of a thread describing how I hired on as a programmer to a state Medicaid program, and what I saw.
My outspoken Christian faith, I believe, is what ultimately got me kicked out of the system. That's not how it was put. They complained I hadn't done what the boss wanted (maybe I had misunderstood him, but I honestly thought I had obeyed whatever he actually stated he wanted). But I think that was an excuse, as an experienced co-worker had congratulated me for doing something the boss had later complained about.
But I don't feel like in good conscience I could have kept on. I could have snoozed at my computer and they wouldn't have cared... they were taking their sweet time in getting me authorized into the systems I was supposed to help program and administer. Like over eight weeks sweet time, and my contract firm said oh that wasn't unusual, it usually takes three weeks (hey, there is only 166% difference there, but what's that among friends).
Also the mission had me badly conflicted. While rationalizing that a state charity is better than no charity, and that therefore there was some kind of blessing on the system, I still wondered where traditional church charities were. There are medical missions to Haiti... how about to the inner city USA? I even proposed to an official suggestion box that the framework be expanded to allow private payers, though in hindsight that would be pretty naive since the "missions" model would be absent.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
“...I’m one of those guys the dawgs deride because I married a Filipina and have an “in” to a tropical paradise I’m endeavoring to reside ... until I die....”
Not deriding you at all. I have ZERO issue with you. I wish you well in your retirement endeavors.
The issue with that other certain person is of HIS own making for his initial nasty comments and responses.
I hope you find/found whatever you are looking for, and have a happy and peaceful life.
“...This entire idea anyone might have that the dogs are jealous of anybody else...”
Exactly. That was never the issue.
Hell, everyone deserves a chance at finding their “Somewhere over the Rainbow” spot. No one begrudges a fellow American that.
Mine is right here, in the land my ancestors fought, bled and died for.
The issue is with the nasty, gloating, and completely Anti-American responses from Al.
And it’s not only the Dawgs who brought it up. There are many other posters completely uninvolved that have called him out on it on other threads.
Truth be told, I hope Al found whatever he was looking for as well. He just needs to stop being an ass and be a little more gracious to people that disagree with him.
