Forgive the nearly two week interruption in posts from me. The truth is that nothing has caught my attention as “blog-worthy”. It seems like the daily stories we receive of school employees hired even though they’ve been convicted of a violent crime, of accountants with convictions for embezzlement and of CEO’s who’ve lied about their academic qualifications are becoming mundane.
However, this could be the day the cycle ends. It’s the day that represents a symbolic sign that we have made it through the abyss of another long, dark and cold winter. Today is opening day for Major League Baseball. A day that hope springs eternal. A day that says “Move out of the way winter. Here comes summer!”. A day that says the Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs have not been mathematically eliminated and still have a shot at the World Series. And maybe even a day when lightening strikes and I am finally struck with a unique idea for how to wax poetic about background checks once again or am outraged by another shoddy background check story.
Oh yes! It could all happen today.
Just one hitch: it snowed last night and they’ve already canceled the White Sox home opener. And I’ve walked into the office and found more stories about teachers, accountants and CEO’s who could have used a background check.
Will this vicious cycle ever end?
Predictions:
AL Pennant- New York Yankees
NL Pennant- Chicago Cubs
World Series Champ- Chicago Cubs (maybe not, but this city would go crazy)
We will continue to see background check stories about teachers, accountants and CEO for the foreseeable future.
