everything's up-to-date in Kansas City

I'm in Bethany, Missouri right now. What the h am I even doing here, you might ask? I am going to my friends' wedding. Tomorrow afternoon at 5pm, Carolyn Skeens and John Lehn will become husband and wife!!!!! And I am super excited to celebrate with them!!!

I'm just sitting in the hotel room right now, on a bit of a sugar/excitement high. I finally have some time off work, praise the LORD for that!! And I am with one of my very best friends, Stephanie Anne Burrows!!!! We had the best time ever in the car. We had some great conversation, some excellent singing, and just overall a wonderful time.

Work is going well, I suppose. It's very tiring, working full time. But I'm not going to complain. This is the path I've chosen and I'm going to do what I have to do. I need money so that I can move out, and I will do what it takes to get money, short of stealing it, I suppose. I am, however, beginning to question the idea of working for Southwest. I would never be able to go to church, and right now, I think the youth group is more important than a job. There may very well come a time when I can step back from the youth group, and that time may be soon or it may be years from now. But for the present, I'm prioritizing the youth group and the music team at church over my choice of job.

I really must update this blog more often. I actually do have things to say, despite what this blog might show! But I am so very tired right now. Ten hours in the car has a rather mind-numbing effect, I must say.

how much longer?

Reasons why work sucked today

1. I had to work 12 hours. 11am-10:45pm. I was on my feet for all but 30 minutes of that.

2. It was really really really freaking busy today for lunch, between 12-2pm, and between 5-10.

3. It's really really really stinkin hot and humid.

4. Some lady yelled at Sarah-Hope and made her cry. That made me so mad I wanted to punch a baby. Don't you DARE come in and make my friend cry!!!!!!!!

5. Some lady yelled at me and made me want to cry. Don't you DARE come in and talk to me like I'm stupid!!!!! Your request was the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life, and made no sense whatsoever, and you were stupid for asking what you asked!!!!!!!

6. At 9:45pm, 15 minutes before we close, a group of about 25 cheerleaders comes in. This is on top of the already 10-15 people who were still in line in the restaurant, not to mention the long line of cars in the drive thru. At least they didn't all order shakes this time.........

7. At 10:30, I found myself suddenly defending my Christian faith to not one, not two, but THREE of my male co-workers. All alone. Completely out of nowhere. And they all challenged me and said that they didn't believe the Bible and didn't understand why I did. And not in a way like they were interested, but in a way like they thought I was dumb for believing the Bible. It makes my heart ache so much, because I care about these guys so much....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T DEAL WITH IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
