Work at last

April 26, 2004

Well, no, I still don’t have a job. Not a “real” one anyway. But at last I’m getting some good hours at the Club. By God’s grace, I’ve lived the last year with absolutely no regular shifts. I’ve been a sub. And yet it has provided me with what I need. In fact, I had several spells where I was working a full 40 hours of other people’s shifts.

I’ve got my own now. I started in the deli this week, for a change of scenery and for a few hours. They gave me Wednesday nights, and I may now get Fridays and Saturday mornings as well. Then my old boss said, “You need more hours?” Hello! But someone else is leaving and she is giving me Thursday nights in the Sport Shop (where I’ve been doing most of my working lately). She also offered Monday nights, which I may take. It just depends on if I made the worship team at church, since I think practices will be on Monday. But now I got money!

Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Now I just need a job that will actually utilize my degree.

Be careful, Keith.

“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” — Mt. 6:24

I undertand that the job is really important, and I know that you’d like to have some economic stability, but make sure that your priorities are straight.

Thanks for the warning. I’ll be careful. With this, I’m now at 30 hours a week, with 5 days of productivity. Half the reason I’m excited about it is the structure it adds to my schedule. I function much better spiritually when I have a regular schedule and enough to keep me busy. As it has been, the weeks when I’ve had no work have been the most difficult, because I tend to just waste the time doing pointless things.

What is your degree in?

Computer Science. I’m looking for something in Software Engineering.
