  • Full Time Work!!!

    Hello one and all!  It's been a few months since my last post but this one really ties in with what I left off with last time.  I've got full time work now!!  In a few weeks I'll be starting my new job with Porter Paints, a division of PPG Industries based out of Pittsburgh, PA.  This has been a much answered prayer for me, especially considering that when I went in for my interview I was only expecting to apply for just an afternoon part-time job.  When they offered me full-time at nearly the same rate that I now make at UPS, it didn't take me long to accept the offer.  I start once I get all of my background/ drug testing stuff done and then I'll be giving UPS my two week notice.  I'm just so glad to have steady full-time employment now.  I don't know when I'll be online again to post but I'll try and keep everyone in the loop on how my new job is going.  Take care now everyone.

    Travel North??

         In my quest to find full-time gainful employment  I've run across a possible government job that I would be potentially qualified for.  The one problem that comes with this job is that it's in Michigan (no offense to those friends in MI or northerners in general).  My big personal desire is to be able to stay in the surrounding Louisville area.  I would very much appreciate each and everyone's prayers in this matter.  I need help in discerning what exactly is to be the next step in my life.  Do I continue to stay at UPS and try and find some other sort of part-time work that will squeeze in with that schedule?  Do I let UPS go and just try and find something full-time that pays well enough?  Or do I make that big step out of my personal comfort zone and look outside of Louisville and pursue a job in my degree field somewhere else? 
         I must admit that part of my personal hangup on leaving is also due to a relationship interest.  Part of the trouble with this area is that it really isn't all to clear to me what I should do in this area either.  Sometimes it feels like there could be something there and then other times it feels like there isn't.  I could use prayers in this area as well.  I guess it would be best to ask for clarity in my own mind whether or not there is something more between us or if we are just friends.
         Well I guess this will do for the time being.  I should be getting myself off to sleep now considering that I need to be up early for work.  I look forwards to any comments or questions on the matter.  Take care now one and all.

  • It's going, going......

    Well I played my first organized game of softball ever (other than once when I was 7) this evening.  I was plesantly surprised with myself.  I struck out my first time up (doesn't help out that the count starts out 1-1) but I hit a single my second, and only other time at bat, so I'm actually hitting a .500 (I'm a superstar).  I really enjoyed playing.  We've only got a couple of games left but I think that, Lord willing, I'll sign up to play next year.  I don't think I'll ever be one of these people that knows the stats of all of the players on a team, but I appreciate sports a little more now.  Here's to hoping for a better game next week though (we were stomped by the Cuban team).

  • Crossroads of life...

    I feel like I am at a crossroad right now in life.  Do I stay in Louisville hoping for some sort of job part-time or full-time to turn up or do I consider looking elsewhere for work.  Part of me wants to stay here.  Everything that I know and am familiar with is here in Louisville.  Another part of me wants to say GO!!! Go anywhere, just GO!!!  So far I've been listening to the insecure side of me that says stay and wait it out.  I honestly can't say whether it is God's will for me to wait it out now or not, I really haven't been praying over the matter as much lately as I should.  The biggest thing that always seems to be on my mind on a regular basis over the years has been marriage and a family (which is I guess backwards in thought 1. because I'm not in any sort of relationship at the present time, and don't see myself in one any time soon and 2. more importantly, I don't have full time employment which would lend toward supporting said family).  I feel like at 26 years of age something should be going on here for me but I'm currently only working part time for UPS making just enough to pay back a little on student loans and regular monthly expenses such as gas and such.  It drives me crazy at times just thinking about it.  I guess at the moment I need to learn to be more prayerfully waiting on something to show up and to be a lot more actively searching.  For the moment I think I'm going to let this thought die out, it's getting late and I feel like I'm not thinking straight.  Good night to any and all that might actually be reading this.

  • Back in the saddle again

    Well to sort of continue the theme of returning to Xanga I've also started back in trying to get into a regular exercise routine.  I went out biking today at a near by park and did just over 6 miles with half of it being up hill.  I'm not feeling to bad at the moment but we'll see what I'm saying in the morning.  I did realize one thing that I'll need to invest in besides a helmet, a new seat (no need to say more).  I'm slowly going to work my way up to running as well and maybe even join the local YMCA (baby steps here...).  That's going to be it for this week.  I'm going to keep it simple for now and work my way back as well to posting more stuff here on Xanga.

    On a side note here, this is a call out to anyone that might have a current e-mail address for Eileen Peatman.  I was trying to e-mail her and find out how she was doing but my address for her is now out of date.  If anyone can help out it would be greatly appreciated.
