I don’t think I’ve mentioned it among the morsels yet, but I recently got a new position at the church. I go from department to department filling in when people are on vacation or until a position is filled. It’s like I’m a permanent temp. The position was originally titled a “Floater,” but the 7th grade boy inside of me (not literally) laughs at the potty humor implied whenever I hear that. I’m trying to get “Circulating Staff” to catch on. We’ll see. If all else fails, that boy will be highly amused. If you ever find me laughing at a fart joke, I beg you to sit me down and have “the talk.”
Tomorrow I’m helping out in the communications department putting the bulletins together using Adobe InDesign in CS3. I was doing some online training today, and the trainer in the video said, “If you’re upgrading from CS2, you’ll enjoy some of the great new developments. If you’re upgrading from CS1, your brain might actually explode from all of the cool features you’ll be encountering.”
I’ve never even used CS1, so what does this mean for me?!! I feel that for the sake of the cleaning company, I should at least wear a hat to work. And I should probably note that I’ve always thought that I’d like to be buried, but at that point… what does it matter? It’s not like small bits of me are that much better than smaller bits of me. Seems like a waste of casket if you’re not going to use the whole thing.
If I have to risk my brain so that 7,000 people can know what the theme for Vacation Bible Camp is (”Once Upon a Parable,” by the way), then so be it! That’s the kind of sacrifice I’m willing to make. Though I’d probably think twice about it if I didn’t have that darn 7th grade boy living inside of me. He’s not the brightest one in the bunch.
