I feel rather like rambling.
Did I ever mention that I got the job? Well, I did. I started on Monday, and last week was my very first week of a full time job. I still have my sign-waver job. I can't decide whether or not to quit that. My feelings on it change every five minutes. I don't need the money, but I was perfectly honest when I said I enjoyed doing it. And the money is nice.
However, beginning this week, I'm going to start my workdays earlier in order to get more done. 7 am to 4:30 pm, MOnday- Friday (except I get Tuesday off this week for the 4th). Including the hours from my other job, and including my lunch breaks, I'm going to be at work 51.5-53.5 hours per week.
There are nine people in the office, including myself. and everybody is swamped with paperwork and busy. I'm already behind in some ways, and I just got started! It's really overwhelming. And one girl just put in her two-week notice, and another lady is probably giving birth right now, so we're only going to have 7 people! Secretly, I'm hoping that if they aren't able to hire someone else before the quitting girl leaves and I end up having to do a lot of her job, I can ask for a raise. I mean, it only makes sense that if I'm doing two people's jobs I should get paid more. We'll see what happens - again, I don't really need the extra money, but it would sure be nice.
It's kind of annoying to have lots of small-amount checks lying around. I have a check for like $22 from Subway, another for a similar amount for my Oregon income tax return, another for like $44 from my first paycheck for sign waving, and one more somewhere for some amount under fifty dollars, and I can't even remember what it's for.
I don't understand how people get so much pleasure letting off noisemakers before the 4th of July starts. I mean, fireworks are usually a big event, and usually we make a point to save the noisemakers and fireworks and sparklers until the night of the 4th. It's no fun unless there's a party going on, with the whole family together and eating hot dogs while playing with fire(works). Who randomly goes out in their backyard, in the middle of the hot day, on a day when it's NOT EVEN THE FOURTH and lets off fireworks?
It actually doesn't annoy me that much, but I don't like that it scares our dog, and the high pitched squealing ones hurt his ears. I know I don't like dogs that much, but I usually like them more once I get to know them.
I should clean my room. Goodbye!

Well. I don't know about during the day, but people have been setting things off around here for a couple weeks at night. It is a bit annoying.
A pastor said yesterday that it's "your" money (scare quotes!), but he doesn't see the point in wasting his own on things like that when there are so many people in need.
Well, that's very good and Christian of him, but if any person is going to use that argument for anything, he'd better be prepared to really live by it. You can't just throw around statements like that.
If you're really going to live by that philosphy, do you stop buying movies or Christian music? Do you stop buying sugar or desserts or "good" food? Do you move to the streets because some people can't afford houses? It's ridiculous. You have to draw the line somewhere.
We, as Christians, are required to be generous with what God has given us, but we are not required to be stiff, unfun people. Giving will bring us joy, and buying stuff for ourselves will give us momentary happiness. As long as we don't lose sight of the important things, I don't think it's bad to "waste" money on fun things (and it's not wasting, either!)
