Unprofessional?

Today as I went for a car security number fixing work I learned a very important lesson on management. The company the government assigned was so unprofessional in their profession and there was almost no management at all; among the employees there was , no discipline, no coordination, no work ethic and no care for customers even. It was a question to ask "who is who?"  Starting from the set up itself everything seemed to go wrong. This woke me up to where I am. Is my service likewise? God forbid.

My job should have been done a month ago, yet nothing was done. I was asked to submit my receipt for collection of the security number plate and asked to come back after an hour, and later when I came back, I was told my number plate was somehow not prepared. On further enquiry from employee to the boss I was bluntly told it was not made and it will be made, and that they could not make at the moment because there was no electricity to run the machine. Oh, a company assigned with a high security number plate has to halt their works and make all the customers wait in confusion just because they don't have a power backup? Surprisingly strange. 

Patiently I waited, and when the electricity came, there was a chaos surrounding the machine. Who knew who was a customer and who was an employee? No order, no manner and no humanity. Later after my plate was done I had to get a sticker, but the sticker generator man was bluntly fuming in anger that he could not do it because it was his lunch time, however, I approached the higher ups and convinced him. Then I headed on to fix the plate, and the fixers were so lazy and tossed me about from one fixer to the other. Finally I caught hold of one, who unprofessionally fixed it with no common sense of proper alignment on the sticker. What do I say more? At least the work was done, though unprofessionally.

This a real wake up call to me. Is my person and work up to God's standard? If I could be annoyed by the heathen's unprofessional work, how about I, as a son of God, serving the God of the heavens and the earth and the universe? I have no doubt that my service is any better than these unprofessional workers. How much training, learning and perfecting I need? Lord, have mercy on me. Though I might have been an unprofessional worker, I pray , God have mercy on me and make me meet Your need.
