Brothers Campfire Straight Talk

Posted on

Hello, Benjamin from Brother’s Campfire here.

It is strange wearing dress clothes to work. I have worn cargo pants and boots for nearly 13 years and Carhartt before that. That is 18 to 20 years of hard-charging from cranes to cargo to corrections.

I will have to adjust my customer service in my new role as a volunteer coordinator. They have always been there

I am comfortable interacting with anyone on many levels, so interaction with the public for the improvement of an institutional environment is something I can get behind.

In my experience, the men who have worked for me respected genuine and straightforward talk. I will see how that works for me in the suit world.

People are people wherever you go and biases should be put aside.

Recognizing biases is a good start for changing thought processes. There are a lot of times I more comfortable interacting with this guy

Over this guy.

That is a bias I will have to adjust within myself. People are People.

It is a great time to transition at this phase of life.

I am a little punch drunk from a few knocks to the noggin and I need to preserve any brilliance in brain cells as long as I can.

My body will thank me later as well provided I stay active. As for active, today I plan on working with my hands.

The ducks need wing clipping, seed needs to get in the ground and knives need handles. One cannot do that in a suit, and running around all day with clean fingernails would be disastrous to my well being.

I will keep you updated. It is a brand new day.

      So, I agree in that they will eat my garden. As for egg production, I prefer the added get away power as they have not gone far….. Yet….🤠🔥

    Looking good Benjamin. I used to wear a suit every day to work as well and while I looked good, the attire did not always “suit” the part of my job that related to construction site inspections. Glad things are going well for you. Allan

    1. Benjamin says:

      Ha ha, Allan, It is funny the expectation to wear a suit on a construction site and many times in a prison. I like the suit joke😅🤠🔥

      Thank you and Thank you. I appreciate the encouragement!🤠🔥

            We are waiting for governor Polis to lift the mask restrictions.

          3. cookingflip says:

            It would still take a long while for that to happen here. Happy Resurrection Sunday, bro!
