Working Woman

What does 8.23 am on a Tuesday morning find me doing? Getting ready for work of course. Ive been working at the Town Square Library for almost a month now! The really funny thing is...I made more money as a missionary than I do as a 'legitimately' working woman. Go figure!
I just thought that was endlessly funny.
I enjoy working there, though I would really like to work the Information Desk, help people find what they need, what they don't know they are looking for, just pointing them in the right direction. That sounds immensely satisfying to me. Instead, the other DA's (Departmental Aide) and I race around to see who can shelve a cart of books the quickest. Good times...?...
By the end of next week I will know whether or not I will be interviewing for the PD job, and I am hoping against hope that this will work out...I think. When I got to the test, (with the other 200 people!) they mentioned that the job is worked in shifts, and holidays and weekends. I don't know if that meant it was a "this will be your life", or "this may have to happen from time to time." I just want a 9-5 job please! No weekends, no holidays. Goodness.
Truly though, I only want this job if it is pleasing to the Lord, and is where He is guiding me, so I leave it in His hands.
Alas, the books are calling me, and I can stave off jumping in my cold car no longer.
Au Revoire! (I don't even know if that is spelled right...spell check didn't recognize it at all!)
