18.5 Even Though it Hurts Sometimes, I Still Play Basketball at 48

18.4 Anonymous and Confidential
Let's say you work in a Christian organization. And let's say your administration wants anonymous and confidential feedback, and so they institute a survey of all employees of the institution which will be anonymous and confidential. And let's say they send out regular emails reminding you that your feedback will be anonymous and confidential. And let's remember also that this is a Christian organization.
Incidentally, did Jesus ever ask for anonymous and confidential feedback about his leadership? I digress.
Now I ask you, is it not a problem already if the administration is having to stress and restress that your feedback will be anonymous and confidential? What does it say about the organization, and the administration, that they feel the need to stress and restress this fact?

18.1 Return
All I can say is, wow. Just. Wow.
And now it's been a nearly five years since I last added anything to this completely arbitrary collection of musings, linked articles, images, videos and such.
Going forward, I have no plan to turn this into a carefully organized, thematically coherent, anything... I'm just going to post things and put them out there and see what happens. But if I do ever manage to write something worth sharing with a wider audience, I fully intend to post it to Medium.
Someday I might create a website, because as I think about it, I've produced a lot of stuff that might be of some use to someone in the world somewhere.
But for now, this is merely an announcement of my return.
For anyone who cares, entries will be numbered by the year.entry. That is, 18.1 means, first entry of 2018.
Completely unrelated, here's a video I watched this morning. Since we had a snow day today, and since we're starting Dante in LIT 227, I gave this as an assignment for Monday.
