I posit that a great deal can be known about a person based upon his/her reaction to a vehicle buried in snow.

About Me
- Trinka
- The most important thing about me isn't about me at all. It's about God. Though He is perfectly holy, and I had no hopes of being so, He loved me (and you!). There had to be punishment for sin – justice had to be satisfied. So God sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, who lived a sinless life Himself, and died to pay the penalty for sin. Because of that sacrifice, I can be right with God. And so can you … and so can anyone who will cease trusting in their own goodness -- but rather acknowledge that they have none, and trust in Jesus Christ’s sacrifice instead. The less interesting things about me are: I am the office manager for the church I attend and also have a small business re-binding books & Bibles. I’m in the process of overcoming the horror of school gym classes, and learning to think of exercise as a “good thing” rather than an exercise in public humiliation. I love being outdoors, particularly when Michigan allows a person to be outside without the danger of frostbite. (that would be “July”)

Can I have some parameters for this assignment? How snowbound is the car? Is it 6 a.m. Monday morning and I'm on the way to work, or 10 a.m., I've called in to work and I'm trying to get to Starbucks for a carmel macchiato?
Also, was the vehicle snowbound in it's overnight parking location or placed in a particularly nasty snowbank by the person whose reaction we are evaluating?

Let's say a group of co-workers is standing about, when a phone call comes that a senior citizen has overshot the corner, and buried his car in the ditch behind the parking lot.
I've experienced similar circumstances 4 times, with different sets of staff, and found the different reactions insightful.
Two staff members jumped in, and helped push, without a second thought. The other (which happened a very long time ago) suggested I push the car by finding an old tire, and putting it between my car (at that time a Chevy Cavalier), and the stuck vehicle.
I was thinking the other day how much my opinions of these various men were shaped by how they'd reacted to the "stuck car" situation! And also just how accurate that assessment proved to be later!
Ah yes, I see now and agree.
I'm a "go out and help" type myself. No fancy tricks just elbow grease and shovel work.
Unfortunately I now know too many "helpers" that stay away now. After too many years of dealing with the public the first thought is now will I get sued.
Will my feet get wet? I really dislike having wet feet. Maybe I should just stand back and manage the recovery effort.
