Well today has been nothing more but a bit of confusion and frustration. Last night I worked another shift that I wasn’t supposed to because of my “reliable” substitute decided not to show up for work. So another night that I was supposed to get sleep became dust in the wind. After work I got to sleep for 30 minutes before I had to go do my children’s church thing at Abingdon UMC. We winged it for the most part, but apparently we really impressed the coordinator, how I don’t know. Well after that I returned home with medicine to fight the never ending cough and sinus crap. I slept for about 2 hours till about 2.30 then woke up to get ready for my youth pastor kick off. Well after I get ready, shower, shave, and all the things I do to get ready for making an impression I check my email. After no being able to get with people the guy that was supposed to get everything together informed me that nothing was going to happen today ( Thanks for the heads up, a little to late) so I hadn’t eaten so I decided to go out for some Chinese, because I couldn’t take the café today. Jason and I went to Abingdon for dinner and had a very pessimistic conversation about our future and what hand might deal us and how we didn’t want to be like other people that we knew. I was a great conversation, because we both got to vent a little bit and considering both of us are defiantly on our “time of the month” and both of us are frustrated with the reality that the “best four years” of our life are about to be over. I think we both came to the conclusion that we both want to be, in our own way, something different from the normal we both want to be the rain that taste like wine, and most of all we discussed the idea of our happiness after leaving all that we have ever known to make the leap of faith into life.
After our conversation we had to go to the hospital because one of other friends blacked out and hit his head on the toilet and blacked out and maybe had a concussion. Well we started out at Abingdon and the wait was going to be 2 hours, so he asked me to take him to the Bristol hospital, and since I try to be everything to everyone I took him. So after it was 8pm and I still hadn’t slept any more I thought I could call my substitute to work for me so I could get some sleep. Well I tried calling him but no answer. So I returned home and slept for 2.5-3 hour and got up and went to work. And here I am now getting as much work as I can get done so I can have a cushion on this week from hell.
Why is this week going to be hell? Well…to start matters off with Susan (our General Manager) being fired from the Hampton we have already had one other person officially quit (Denise), one other person said that they are quit at the beginning of the year, one person (my substitute), in my opinion, has unofficially quit since no one has heard from him since Susan left, which leave me with only the old crabby woman to turn to for the audit (which I will do over my dead body). This week we are going to have to see who is going to work what so the schedule will be changing form what it is right now. Not to mention I have two tests this week that I have to study for, a children’s sermon to prepare for class, a paper for another one, along with all the other stuff that goes with class. Also I start my youth job this week, hopefully at least meeting with them all one day. And of course I have to find to breath, eat, shower, and most importantly sleep.
Also I am totally missing someone hard core. Wishing I could see this person more than anything in the world, which has its own role in my feeling the way that I am. Why are you so close yet I am so far away!
OK, well that’s about all guys, sorry I wish I could have some good stuff to tell you about…maybe next time. Love you all you all, keep sending me love and keep me in your prayer like you all are in mine. To all the beautiful tomorrow that I wish we all find.
