The Appearance of Work

Express Personal Services, an employment company based in Oklahoma City, has provided temporary help for some rather unique jobs. They’ve placed workers to chase deer off an airport runway for $8 an hour, or pour thousands of cans of rancid beverage down a drain for $6 an hour.

One of the most unusual placements came from a company in Redmond, Washington. Three people were paid \$11 an hour to appear busy and professional so visitors would think the company had a larger staff. Their job was to simply look like they were working. Having a good work ethic involves far more than just appearing to be busy. Whether at work, home, or church, God expects us to give of our best and be productive.
