Monday, Rob and Andrea and I went shopping most of the day. We bought a couple of tires for my car and some other cool stuff. It was really great. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Then we got home . . .
There were 21 messages on my voice mail! One was from a friend, the rest were attempts from my pastor and his wife to locate us. We thought there was an emergency. There was, of sorts. The pastor wanted me to start training on the job yesterday! I was nearly paralyzed. I knew that I was going to start. I knew it would be around the first of April. I knew these things, so why was I surprised? I hadn't even prepared my resume.
The first day was yesterday. For two days I will be training in Carpenteria, then on the the office in Santa Paula. With a bit of apprehension I arrived at the right time and began my training. The job will be easy! In Santa Paula, I will be the only office worker, so I can take a book to read when it's slow, a laptop, whatever I like. It's a really relaxed atmosphere. The "big boss" called from Vista to welcome me to the family. How about that?
So now I'm a member of the workforce. It's totally amazing. Just two days ago I was a retired missionary.
Andrea hates that I've gone to work. She thinks her daddy should be the one. She wants more mommy time. I understand, but am glad to be doing something finally. I think I'm going to like it.

Congrats on the new job....I am glad its relaxed and you seem to enjoy it. I am glad you, Rob and Andrea went shopping and had a good time. Andrea will get used to it eventually. Especially when she sees that you like it. Hugs, lisa
Wow! Congrats on the new job! I think that is awesome! I hope you like it! Great you can bring a book or a laptop for the slow times. Some companies won't permit you to blow your nose while working! Oh and I so feel for you buying tires... we just bought two also. Sears was our best deal. 21 messages! That is a lot! I haven't had that many since going on vacation... well best wishes to you with the new job. You will be great working for a pastor. Andrea will adjust and will probably love all that extra money you'll have to spend on her. YAY! Money can be a good thing sometimes.
Hugs,
Lisa
