The south has nothing to do with it. The Director of Operations didn't
think I overreacted. It's not within the scope of the job description to
PUSH her church. She and her husband formed their own church. It's called
the Church of Rock. This sounds very much like a bad Jack Black film, don't
you think?

She took drum lessons because they couldn't find a drummer for their newly
formed Christian rock band. Her father was a minister; he died a week ago
last year. If she was just being chatty I wouldn't know all the details. I
wasn't rude to her but she's not getting paid to preach. She's getting a
salary and billing Medicare and proseletyzing all at the same time. If she
was a Jehovah's Witness knocking at the door I'd have slammed it in her
face.
