    Saw this tday on LinkedIn and thought I would share . . .

    Before he died, a father said to his son; “Here is a watch that your grandfather gave me. It is almost 200 years old. Before I give it to you, go to the jewelry store downtown. Tell them that I want to sell it, and see how much they offer you."

    The son went to the jewelry story, came back to his father, and said; "They offered $150.00 because it's so old."

    The father said; “Go to the pawn shop."

    The son went to the pawn shop, came back to his father, and said; "The pawn shop offered $10.00 because it looks so worn."

    The father asked his son to go to the museum and show them the watch.

    He went to the museum, came back, and said to his father; “The curator offered $500,000.00 for this very rare piece to be included in their precious antique collections."

    The father said; “I wanted to let you know that the right place values you in the right way. Don't find yourself in the wrong place and get angry if you are not valued. Those that know your value are those who appreciate you, don't stay in a place where nobody sees your value."

    Know your worth even when others don't.​

    Thank You Lucas R.

    The only thing I seem to see on Linkedin of late are scammers who have hacked an account or made up a fake one to get connections ... "sweetie"... or the more real accounts just trying to sell lots of something, or find me the "perfect" job.

    I agree on the jobs front, a couple of weeks ago a few folks in the MAGA crowd started to get political, fortunately that got shutdown.

    Some of the Industrial Hygiene groups were hugely anti-Climate change so badly I dropped out of them. There was nothing dealing with actual IH testing or analysis in the discussions and the mods were not able or willing to do anything.
