It's me, Charity

So its been a pretty interesting week in my life... For me at least! The other day Keaton came to visit me at work about 15 mins before I got off. Well we ended up talking and flirting for like an hour and a half. The next day EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE was teasing me, asking me about my boyfriend, ect. Several of the guys all told me that he was totally into me and there was no way they would visit the work of a girl they didn't like especially for that long. So with that in my head and visions of his gorgeous brown eyes that I stared into forever. I kind of asked him out. I saw kind of because I sent him a private message on fb and didn't say the word DATE. Now its been almost 24 hours since I sent the message. He commented on someone's picture tonight but must have gotten off after that. Sigh. I think I would feel better if I could get a yes or no and move on with life! The other news is that I had my interview at Purdue today!! I think it went very well but who knows!...

So everything has been much better at work, my final review was perfect. So I thought OK Lord, if this is where you want me, i'm going to be content here. Well I get home after that and I have an email from someone at Purdue about a position I had applied for a few weeks previous. I filled out the questtionaire they sent me and the cover letter they had requested. Today I got a voice mail from the lady asking if I could come in for an interview. AT PURDUE! UNIVERSITY! PURDUE UNIVERSITY PEOPLE!! I have always really really wanted to work there. The position is one I am very well qualified for but I think it will challenege me and interest me way more than my job now. Plus its better pay and AWESSSEEEEOOMMMMMEEE benefits! So my interview is Thursday morning at 9:30. I'm not sure if I"ll just skip the morning at work, and go in late or leave early. Heck I don't know. Gotta decide by tomorrow so I can have someone cover for me. I'm leaning towards taking a few hours of...

I had a really awesome Friday night. Katie, my one sane and cool co worker, and I drove to Greenwood, to see my good friend from college, Zoie Stout, get married. I was really glad to have Katie with me, especially since I have the sense of direction like a gnat. And we ran into some bad traffic. We did manage to make it to the wedding 5 mins before it was scheduled to start! GO US! The wedding was wonderful. Zoie looked like a princess, which wasn't a surprise. She is really pretty and just looked beyond gorgeous in her dress. Her sister, Faith, who I was friends with at PCC as well, is over 8 months pregnant with her second child and she was a bridesmaid! She looked amazing! It was so much fun and so awesome to see my friends that I spent so much of my time with in college. After the wedding I realized how much I had missed hanging out with and talking to Zoie and some of my other college friends. I am definately going to make it more of a priority to stay in touch with them. Hop...

Its amazing sometimes to see what people around you are like. Today I got in trouble, IN TROUBLE for planning a surprise birthday party-a carry in- for our co worker Angie. She always brings in a cake and goodies for everyones birthday and tries to make them feel special without asking or wanting anthing in return. I thought that it was about time we showed her how much we appreciated her and her kindness and did something nice for her. People were excited about it even! And then today I get an email from my boss saying that having birthday events for people leave others out. I didn't quite get it, especially the more I thought about it. But being employed, and wanting to STAY employed (at least untill I find another job) I kept my mouth shut and said of course, and agreed with my boss. Our HR person did not agree and apparently is sending off a firey email to our boss. Gee I can't wait to go into work in the morning! I was going to blog about how much the sermon touched my hea...

Ok So its not exacly Christmas in July but its close!! Thankfully, nothing too earth shattering has happened in the past few days. Work has been stressful, but I am learning to deal with it and try to make the best of it. Thanks to Katie I actually enjoy myself part of the time. I am enjoying getting to know her. We talked on the phone last night and that was nice. She is a really sweet girl and reminds me so much of Kim, my BESTEST FRIEND :) so thats kind of comforting too. Speaking of Kim, we talked on the phone tonight for almost two hours, it was soooo nice!! I am doing better about actually talking to her on the phone. I get so sick of being on the phone at work that when I come home thats the last thing I wanted to do. But I was reminded of how much fun it is to talk to her on the phone. She comepletely and totally gets me. Even when I can't even describe things properly she totally knows what I'm talking about! (Linus Piano!! I am SO on the hunt!!! :):) ) SO that was alo...

So I just got a call from my Mom and am so pumped about the answer to my prayers just TWO days ago!! This may seem trivial to some of you but its just an awesome sign of how God cares about even the little things! I have a HORRIBLE couch. Its over 30 years old, sinks when you sit on it, is too short and just kind of stinks. So my Mom has been trying to find me a couch on craigslist. Tuesday she sent me a picture of a futon she was looking at for me, and I didn't like it, i told her I"d been waiting for awhile and could wait longer for one I liked. Well with that on my mind I went to bed several hours later and was praying (i pray in bed. quietest place i can find!!) and i was thinking about the couch situation and realized how utterly selfish i had been. My Mom have wanted/needed a new couch for their new room they added on to their house for several years now, but with Dad being downsized they haven't been able to afford one. Here my Mom is needing a new couch, and is put...

Glory be, I FINALLY got my internet fixed at my apt! For those of you who have been counting, its been 13 days, 6 phone calls, and 1 email to the corporate office. I have soooo missed being online when I come home. (since I can't get on at work, but other people can!!) Although I have gotten quite a bit of reading and tv watching done in the past 13 days. Not to mention I have talked to my Mom on the phone every single day. She is quite glad I have internet back as well!! Keep on praying for a new job. I had my performance review and I have changed everything I was doing wrong, my boss was pleased, but I am just so tired of all of the attitudes there that I have to put up with. I think because I"m so nice people think they can treat me like crap and get away with it, and well, ok they do. It ticks me of when they say rude things or give me extreme attitude like today, but I never say anything.. I applied to over 10 jobs when I was home this past weekend and found two that REAL...
