I finally got a job. I’m working for the North American Mission Board. It is a hour and fifteen minutes away. Right now I’m only temp-ing. But there is a permanent position available that I have applied for. So I’m temping til the powers that be come back from where ever they are and make a decision on my application. I think I’m gonna like working there. Last Thursday was my first day. So I got two days under my belt maybe that will help me settle in and down next week. We are going tomorrow to try and find a shorter route than I have been taking. Maybe we can cut down the drive time. And wouldn’t you know that gas went way up just as I was driving that far every day. I do not enjoy traffic.
But this is a cool place to work. they are in a huge building, complete with a cafeteria, gym, and a pond out back with a trail around it so you can walk on your lunch break. They are very fitness oriented. They even have a weight watchers program in the building. Maybe I can kill two birds with one stone. hmmm something to think about. The only thing is I won’t get a check for a month! Wow that is a long time to wait for a paycheck. But you do what you have to do. I also got a embroidery order in yesterday. So that will help a little bit. Well I better get going got laundry to do and I need to start on that order. Then go to the grocery store and fix dinner. Whew still a lot to do.
Woo hoo! A job! Congratulations! I hope you feel comfortable working there! I know it isn’t the craftiness you might have hoped for, but working for a mission organization should be very fulfilling. I think I told you my parents were missionaries. When we would come back to the US ever 3 or 4 years, it was always nice to see the familiar faces at the mission office.
