first day at the office...

oh boy, i'm back at the country club. and i only had to go till noon today. you don't hear "this guy" complaining. no.

it is such a difficult transition to come back into this one of my worlds - first of all, back home. but even more so, this work. it is just such a challenge to be around all the people that i am with each day. it's funny, i think if i were doing this job with many of my good friends, even with one, i would have fun with it. but that is just far from the case. i feel so detached when i am there, and i really do not want to be, but it is hard to connect with people. i am not going to hold up signs on my blog like sienna did, but i need prayer too, that God will give me the strength to be able to talk seriously with the guys. i want nothing more than to positively influence some of them. that would be awesome.

hmm, i think i should start to sleep a lot too, because i am not close to caught up. this is how i am supposed to feel when it is 90 deg. and i have worked 10 days in a row, not 1 day that was 60-something. this morning it was like high-30s and my hands were about numb.
throw some cross-country training in there, and i'll be dropping like a fly. let's hope not.

well, it is time for me to get my new license since i am driving on an expired one! peace out.

Dan,
I know exactly what you're going through. It is so hard to make that transition...
I will be praying that God will give you opportunities to be real with your co-workers. Don't lose heart, God can use you there.
Miss you!

buddy-
hang in there. im praying that the Lord sends you at least one person to connect with there to make that situation a little easier. i used to work at this chick-fil-a that was this cool little community, not just a place to make money. i worked there for three years and part of the reason why i left was because everyone that made the job fun had left too. i understand how rough your situation can be. im praying for you. this guy is too.

all y'all: thanks a lot. it means a lot to hear you guys say these things. really. God is really amazing every time, and i know this is sort of just my way of doubting him, so we will see what happens.

oh yeah and just because im not with you doesn't mean you have my permission to cut your hair. the day you cut your hair is the day i take your balls.
