In addition to...

I ALMOST FORGOT!!!!!

What really grinds my gears

I haven't written a blog in a while, so I thought it was about time. Sorry that I'm going to start it out by venting a little, but this just has to be said - It is November 12th and there is absolutely no reason for Christmas decorations yet... excuse me, I mean "Holiday" decorations since apparently Christmas is offensive. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Christmas and everything about it; the decorations, the music, the Church Christmas programs - just not in the middle of November! Are we forgetting Thanksgiving? A time when we can be thankful for everything we are blessed with. People bicker so much about all the things that are wrong with this nation and what it stands for, they forget that there is so much that is great about it as well, and then the one day we should take a step back and give thanks for everything gets burried in the commercialization of the Holiday Spirit.

Anyways, things are going great. I interviewed for a job last Friday, and for any of my co-workers reading this, don't start spreading rumors... its still with the same hotel I'm at, just a better position. For the sake of not looking foolish if I don't get it, I'm going to save the details for a later blog, but I will say, it is something a little more related to my field of study, and would give total validation to why I've spent nearly 2 years in hospitality after leaving school, when all I've wanted to do is radio and promotions. The good news is, I still love my current job so if I don't get it, it wouldn't be the end of the world, but I would probably start seeing what else is out there for me.

I think what bothers me most about my job is my inability to have a life. I'm really wanting to get more involved with a church in Omaha, but I don't want to commit to something I wouldnt' be able to follow through with. Right now my only guaranteed time off is Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings, which is spent leading music at my church, and right now, its just not something I want to give up. I want to try to find something for other nights of the week that I can regularly attend.

Hopefully I'll find more info on this job tomorrow and then maybe I'll have a new blog to post in the next few weeks... until then...

Thanks fer bein my friend,

About Me

My photo
I grew up in the country with my nearest neighbor being almost a mile away. I was also the youngest in the family and the only boy. Growing up, I didn't have a lot of "playmates" so I found ways of entertaining myself. I could go outside on a nice fall Saturday (or frigid Iowa winter) and not come in until dark. My childhood is what cultivated my active imagination, or "specialness" as my mom always called it.
