What are "paper pushers" called nowadays?
McKinsey & Company I am joining the McKinsey & Company Boston office in late July and searching for housing in the meantime. If I could get some insight on the ratio of days in the office vs work from home that would be super helpful!
If I need to come into the office regularly I will try to find a place close by.

In quest of the lost sheep. A man had one hundred sheep, He tells us, and a sheep strays from the flock and is lost in a dangerous place. What does he do? He leaves the ninetynine others in the pasture and sets out to find the poor lost sheep. And when he has found it, in his Joy he lifts it upon his shoulders and carries it back to the fold. Then he organizes a celebration with all of his friends to let them share his happiness.
You recognize who the Good Shephers is: it is Jesus Himself. And the lost sheep is the poor sinner, meaning , each one of us. St. Peter said it in the epistle last sunday, "You were as sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls (1 Pet. 2:25)
Thus did jesus, the Good shepherd, moved with pity at our wandering, make His way through our passions, our disorders and our ingratitude in order to find us. He has torn His feet and hands; His head has been bloodied. He has not ceased calling out to us by his graces, by good thoughts, good inspirations, good examples, remorse and salutary fears.
And when the unfaithful sheep finally accept to hear His voice and return to him, He shows no irritation with it, He does not mistreat it. He does not make it walk painfully in front of him while he strikes it with his staff, he does not drag it along the ground. He lifts it to His shoulders and carries it back to the fold. Thus, God welcomes with kindness even the greatest sinner, soiled with vices, the moment he repents; God presses him to his heart, he purifies him in order to love him, and takes him as a friend.
In seeing the merciful attitude of Jesus toward the lost sheep, and then considering our contemporaries, how can we not be moves with compassion at the sight of so many souls who live far from god? How can we not do everything that is in our power to snatch them from the claws of satan and lead them toward the Good shepherd
