Random Ramblings

So, a lot has been going on lately, and I’m sure you all (at least the few who read my blog here) want the latest updates. That said, here goes.

First of all, after the whole hired-not hired fiasco with Yahoo, I was starting to question if I was ever going to find a job that wouldn’t interfere with my jobs at church. Understand that I’m a qualified retailer. Theres not a lot I’m qualified on paper to do that doesn’t involve 7 day work weeks. However, Monday I got a call from Marcus letting me know that there was a girl in our sunday school class who was trying to hire for a temp agency, I called her up and, lo, and behold, I have a two week temp gig to pay the bills with. Then, by the end of the week, I get a call from Farmers wanting me to interview for the CSR position. I go in, interview, and, to my shock, I get called the next day and am offered the position, where I’m going to be working with my baby sister (All her life, she wants to escape me, and now look who’s going to be working together! :-p) I start with Farmers on the 8th of October, a thankful 2 days after the temp gig is up.

So, now knowing where the bills are being paid from, it’ll probably bring you to the next little bit of business that’s become apparent recently. As some might’ve noticed, my relationship status has changed. Myspace didn’t make it particularly obvious, but anyone who has my facebook knows because it announced it when I switched it, little broken heart icon and all (so much for remaining low-key on that). With that comes a long list of questions that stems out of the same base question: WHY?

Well, it’s complicated, but short version is this: Jenn and I have both done a lot of growing in the last year, and after much prayer, the realization came to us that we might not be perfect for each other. As shocking as this may be, it wasn’t one of those traumatic, “I hate you and never want to see you again” breakups you see in the movies. We talked it over, cried a little, bought me work shoes, and I dropped her off at home. I don’t plan on jumping right back into a relationship. I’ve decided that I’m going to give God the control to decide when the time and person is right, and not pursue anything unless I feel God’s led me to do so. He tends to make things easier that way.

So, New job 1, new job 2, and relational status… I think that’s the main updates, so… Yeah. Signing off and going to bed. G’night folks.
