Job Update

If you are at all interested in my life, you probably know that I have been looking for a job recently. Some rather providential events have occurred in the past week to take the pressure off of my search, so at least now I don't have to take that Pizza Hut delivery job that my roommate mentioned to me last week. Even though it does pay $12-14 an hour plus tips.

I had an interview this afternoon with Operation NOAH. The interview went well, and though the place isn't much to look at, the work seems like it would be really great. The position has been open for a couple of months, but they are basically looking for someone who would be the outreach person for the homeowners. I would get to talk to the homeowners and find out their needs, how their houses are coming along, and really get to build relationships with them.

I've been praying about it, and the director is supposed to call me later in the week with more details about it. I would like for it to work out, but if it doesn't, that's OK too. I'm just trying to figure it all out

I was in the Bookstore on campus today, and I came across this book that made me laugh out loud in Lifeway. Stacy, I think you'll like this. It was called "Ending the Search for Mr. Right: How to be Found by the Guy You're Looking for." OK, What in the world? The back of the book jacket had a picture of this woman with a big cheesy grin, and I wondered, was she found? I skimmed through the book and found pieces of wise advice like "if the guy is interested, he'll come to you" or "guys like a girl who is interesting and interested-just give them a smile,a wink, or some other subtle gesture to let them know you're into them"

Of course, I did pick this book up and look through it, more out of amazement than a desire to gain eternal understanding of the male interest in women. And yet, this book was in a section of bestsellers. Looking through the book, I didn't see anything I didn't already know nor did I see any magic formula for "being found." The book did not answer all my questions about the male-female relationship. It's just another human attempt at finding love in a world where people are desperate to do anything- even if it means buying the book by the lady with big hair and a cheesy grin who claims to know how to "be found"
