A Butt in a Chair

Yesterday I interviewed for a new full time job. The position doesn't pay well nor does it provide tuition assistance, as I had hoped.

I interviewed at the Department of Labor. A headhunter was assisting the company's H.R. representative in order to process candidates quickly, at a pace of more than twenty per day.

On meeting my interviewer, I saw that I'd already worked with the headhunter when he was an undergraduate. He was very helpful to me and he candidly answered my questions. I got the inside scoop. "The company is growing so fast that they basically need butts to fill chairs."

I landed the job but it's hard to be excited over being a butt for a chair.

Yet, God provided a job close to home, right across the street from the school. After three years in retail, I won't have to work weekends.

I'm worried about sitting for eight hours every day, when maybe I should be looking forward to the rest.

I can do this.
