Advise

Jen and Colin got married this weekend! I had to throw that in, cause they just got married, and I am not posting about it.

The story I am about to tell happened after the wedding. A bunch of us (like 12) decided to go for coffee at Ethical Addictions. So, we were having coffee, and then I had to use the bathroom. So I did. When I was done, I came out of the bathroom, and spoke to friend who was going into the bathroom. Then, I turned around to put the key away on the counter, and all of a sudden, I hear "Cassy!". I turn around, and there are 3 people staring and pointing at me. I dont understand what the big deal is, until I reach back to smooth my skirt, only to find that it is tucked into my RED underwear. How embarassing. Of course, everyone laughed their faces off (including me) and we were so loud that Im sure the whole place knew exactly what was going on. So my advise to you is if you wear a skirt, and you have to pee, make sure you are very careful when leaving the privacy of the bathroom stall.

Yes, Celia.

Celia said I have to post, and that I have some things to say. Im not 100% sure what she is referring to, but I can tell you that I am super excited that I dont have to work today. Thats right. Theres a bunch of people at the office right now wearing nice clothes (well, jeans, it IS Friday) and working, and here I am, sitting on my couch wearing pjs and blogging.

Things at work have been interesting lately. Bryana, who does our broadcast editing and production is leaving in 1 week, so we had been looking for someone to replace her. As it turns out, one of the LSRs (Listner Service Representatives) is moving upstairs to take over Bry's work, and instead of trying to find a new LSR very fast, we've decided that I would move downstairs and become an LSR. This is good for me for a few reasons:
1. I was covering a maternity leave, and the lady I was covering for is likely to return to work in May. Now, I am still covering another mat leave, but she is less likely to return to work, so I am more likely to have a more permanent job.
2. I'm pretty sure that everyone knew that I was bored upstairs; there wasn't enough work to warrant a full-time position. Now I will be busy and will feel like I am at least contributing something.
3. I have been learning some of the bookkeeping, and I will continue to do that. My new position will help me to see more of that side of the ministry as well. Also, I will be physically closer to the guy who I am learning bookkeeping from.

So there you have it. I officially move out of my office on Monday, and one of the other girls will move in, and take over some of the stuff I was doing before. I think I will be happier downstairs, I hate being bored at work, and this way, I am not shoved into an office all by myself. There is much more opportunity to work more directly with people and to be social. AND I get to use the folding and envelope-sealing machines. Fancy.

Celia, I hope this is what you were looking for.

Oh! AND John-Mark comes home in a week! Woohoo! We havent seen each other since April!

Every Sunday evening

Every Sunday evening since I started to work at IFL has been the same. I go to bed at my usual 10 o'clock bedtime (I wake up at 6), and find myself completely unable to sleep. Take tonight, for instance. (I know its Monday.... but I had today off, so it it still the same) It is almost 11, and I know that I am going to be tired tomorrow, because I wont get a full nights sleep, and yet, here I am.... forcing myself to drink tea so that I will get sleepy and go to bed. I am fairly certain that the reason for this is that I am able to sleep in on the weekend (all the way until 9 this morning), and then I am not as tired at 10 on Sunday evening. Its a curse. What am I supposed to do? Not sleep in? Certainly not! Oh well, I suppose that is what coffee will be for tomorrow..... if I can get any of that stuff at work they call coffee down. Oh man, I AM a coffee snob!
