If you haven't been in a cave this week, you all know about the devastation in Haiti. We all get preoccupied over our own little world of contract issues or how our friends at "Screw Scheduling" treat us, but in the grand scheme of things, our issues are insignificant when compared to people who don't even know where to find clean water or know when their next meal will be.
So here's the deal. Take 5 minutes (or less) to donate one day's pay to the cause. I donated the equivalent of 4 hours and used the American Red Cross website (www.redcross.org). If you want other options, Catholic Charities already has a presence there, Salvation Army and many other organizations are up and running too. Just be careful giving to an organization you don't know since the crooks are already making fake websites. If all else fails, use the media websites (Foxnews, NBC, etc.) for a list of charities.
One day's pay. That's less than a monthly bar bill for some of you guys. If that's too much then donate at least one hour. And then count your blessings that we live in this great country.
