I think I’m going to like my job all right. I don’t like everything about it, of course. Today, for example, I spent most of the day updating the Sunday school rosters and making sure that everyone who registered had their children in the correct classes and that their contact information is correct. It’s important that somebody do it though, otherwise when August 24 comes there will be mass chaos and no one will know what’s going on or where they’re supposed to be.
But it’s still boring to do data entry.
I just kept reminding myself that it needs doing and good things will happen because I’m taking time to make sure that things are as organized as possible.
But the people I work with are all great and it’s so nice to be around pleasant people. :) That helps a good deal. And there are fun and good things I get to do. I like being organized, and my job is to organize the family ministries team, which is good. I also got to go shopping for some pretty sweet office supplies last Friday, which made me happy. My favorite purchase of the day: a set of 24 thin tip sharpies. I love office supplies. I’m nerdy that way, and I don’t really care….
Working a 9-5 also gives me time in the evenings to do other things. I started painting again, which makes me happy. I started reading the Brothers Karamazov (we’ll see if I get through it!), and I want to play the piano again. I think I’m going to miss being in classes though. Maybe if I can figure out where I want to go I can work myself up to the GRE and apply to grad school. We shall see. In the meantime, I’ll just make the most of the opportunities I have, get to know more people in Charlottesville, and try not to worry about what comes next.
