i ignore the computer as long as possible or limit myself to 5 minute checkups until i can actually sit down and have cognitive thoughts.
and then they overflow.
there is something to said for balance.
the past two weeks of thoughts are currently located in my head and on the growing pile of receipts next to me.
two weeks of my new schedule. it has gone well. and i am happy. and i have even had time to be social and call people and actually get together with them.
Ivy Tech is good. Educational Psychology is exactly what i want, Ethics grates on me just enough to make me think about things, and Humanities…well, which one of you can name the seven ancient wonders of the world? My Wednesday class is…
oh dear, i have become too jaded in my old age. after 25 you just don’t think that making a collage of yourself should be a college project.
I am enjoying working at Carson’s again. although the vast quantity of black turtleneck shirts still does baffle me. Last week was inventory. one table had 185 items that i had to individually scan. and then recount. and then someone else recounted and said i was wrong. so i re-scanned. and got 185 again. and seriously, when i got a little flustered my first thought was “just take your time and do it right, they don’t expect you to do anymore than that, and nothing else will get done anyways. besides, they are paying you $8.50 to do this random scanning thing, so just do it.” because maybe $8.50 isn’t a lot, but it is what my friends in Brasil are making for a full DAY of work. and that thought…makes any seemingly meaningless work…somehow more meaningful.
so when the changing rooms and clean and all the racks straightened and no one is in my department shopping…i write down things on receipts. which is where the following random posts will be about.
Romans 12. i really like Romans 12. i think i forgot it was there. you should read Romans 12. lots of very practical advice.
