A new meaning to "Asleep on the job."

Here's a beauty from the New York Times. It well illustrates the oft quoted phrase: "We are only cogs in the big machine."

Bosses at a New York firm are trying to figure out how one of their long-standing employees, George Turklebaum, sat dead at his desk for five days before anyone noticed.

The short answer to that question is: "No one really cared."

George was a 30 year veteran at his company. The autopsy showed that he died on Monday of a heart attack and was not discovered until Friday when folk were leaving for home.

No, cheery "Good Mornings"; no "How are you doing today, George?" No, "Can I get you a coffee, George?"

Nothing! George, sat dead at his desk and nobody noticed.

This morning, make an extra effort to be kind to someone.

Step across the room and involve that lonely, odd-person out.

Share something of the love of God with them or, at the very least, give them a nudge to make sure that they are still breathing!
