As some of you know, I have been "working" as a substitute teacher for the past few months. I use the term "working" very loosely because it is a very sporadic job. One week I'll work two or three days and then will go weeks without any calls. In order to have more consistency, I began looking into secretary jobs since I have some experience in that field. I had a few interviews, ran into two jerks and finally found something.
Wood Personnel is a temp agency that deals with jobs in just that field. I emailed them my resume, had a very pleasant interview with them, and they are placing me in a job that starts this coming Monday. It will be a data entry job for a company in Cool Springs. I am very excited about getting out of the house, making money, helping our family, feeling helpful, making money... Did I mention I'll be making money? The job will pay very nicely and will run until the end of July, which is perfect. It was supposed to start last Monday but had to be postponed due to technical difficulties. The delay worked out because it has given me extra time to follow up on teaching jobs.
I still really want to teach but am hitting an emotional wall. I am just tired of the whole process. I just want something that is for certain. Right now the temp job is for certain and a teaching job is not. I've been looking and hoping for a teaching job for a year and a half. I never thought it would be this difficult finding a teaching position. It's been one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with. A big part of me just wants to move on and find and office job. I'm so tired of being in this situation. Even if it means moving on from teaching, I just want this situation to be over with.
I'm sure I just need to keep waiting and remember that God is still working. I know that God is with me and I am very thankful for that. I am also thankful for the job He has given me, the lessons He has taught me, and for friends and family that love me. I'm super thankful for Brooks, my partner in crime, for his constant encouragement when wanted and prodding even when unwanted.

Yeah! I hope you LOVE the job. After I got my bachelor's, I spent some time working temp jobs through Kelly Services. The nice thing was that if I didn't like the job, the end was in sight, and if I did like the job, they would often offer me a permanent position. And yeah for making money!
So, how was your week?
