I Love My Job

So, I'm really glad right now that I am going to be a churchworker. The joy of my summer job is that I get a little bit of a preview of being a churchworker, without being permanently stuck to it (at least until I graduate).

So why do I love my job? Glad you asked. Cuz for the last two days I have been payed for pretty much coloring. Yeah....coloring! How cool is that. Yesterday I spent some 3-4 hours coloring, and I have another 3-4 hours of the same tonight. I find that not only is it great that I get paid for it, but I have always found coloring relaxing. Now there's an oxymoron....working and relaxed (hehehe).

Now, just so you guys don't "sympathize" too much, there are stressors that come with my job. For example, I just found out today that I'm now down to 3 volunteers (this includes me) for my Hornby VBS (Vacation Bible School) which will probably have 20-30 kids. Yikes! Or there's the stress of making sure I have all my craft supplies for our Craft Day, but only have a day to find out and get the supplies because we share our church facilities with another church on Sundays (this leaves Monday to organize the supplies for Craft Day on Tuesday). Or then there's the volunteers who don't listen to announcements or read them in the bulletin, but offer their help two weeks too late! (Yes Neal, I get not so bright people at work too! I don't think you can escape that anywhere).

It's an interesting job, sometimes a blast and at other times I just want to rip my hair out. But all in all, I LOVE my job!
