It’s 30 degrees today. Perfect day to head to a beach and take in the eye candy or just enjoy summer as it gives its last kicks. Only problem is that the beaches around here are now officially closed. Yup no lifeguards on duty or water testing to make sure it’s safe where you swim. How stupid is this? I don’t know the official procedure in closing beaches down for the summer but I have a feeling that somewhere in a book it says ” Beaches close on August 29th” Because some pencil pushing yes man was hired to implement such things so it is written so shall it be done! I find this is happening more and more…if it’s written somewhere in a book that’s how it HAS to be done…no questions asked. What ever happened to a little thing called “common sense”? I say this because “common sense” would tell any tool thinking of closing beaches today that because it’s going to be 30 for a few more days perhaps leave them open. This is only one case of “because it’s written in this book we have to do it this way” things that happen in life. Perhaps the only thing that’s more aggravating than doing something because it’s written is not doing something because it’s not written. So I propose a new addition to all jobs everywhere in Canada…this one is simple…”Common Sense over rules anything you may or may not read in your job description”! Think of how nice life would be if people had to actually use common sense! It’s been a while since I threw you a bone for reading my blog and I do appreciate you taking the time to see what’s got me ranting for the day so the word commonsense will get you Platinum Nation Points
