Dear job.

I love you because, i need a job.
But i also highly dislike you because my life revolves around hotdogs and pervy golfers .



....OK so before i complain about my daily routine at work...i must brag about it first....it would only be the right thing to do. My so called place of employment is at a Golf and country club thats nustled away in the hills that run adjacent to our little town. This place is is stunning at all times of the year (especially spring when all the hills are green and blooming with life) . There doesn't come a day where i don't see hundreds of squirrels, and tons of bunnies...and other forms of wild life. its wonderful really. oh and did i mention the deer (oh my dear) they are my fave.
well the beauty of this place is not the problem haha. I used to work inside of the clubhouse where i was a waitress and enjoyed serving and spending time with the guests. But in recent months i have been moved out to Hole number 9....on the course in the lovely Snack shack. this is where i spend my days roasting hot dogs on the oh so dreadful hotdog machine, and spend more time reading than actually working. this would seem like a wonderful job (and really when i come down to it...it is) but I am starting to get sick of being stuck way out in the middle of the course where I have no connection to the outside world until someone decides to walk in my shack to buy a hot dog, snack, or some unhealthy beverage.
I am a person who loves communication, and loves talking with people...employees and guests alike. But i am alone in this place and some days it is hard to handle spending 8-9 hours trapped in a hut ( did i mention that being alone for a long period of time is one of my biggest fears in life haha) . also did i mention that when golfers do come in they usually dont walk out without making some demeaning comments or trying to use their best pick up lines. Yeah, really..c'mon duuuuddeesss.
with all that said though, I have managed to read some wonderful books while out there these past few months ...its made passing the time that much more enjoyable..or shall i say bearable.
i've managed to read
*mere christianity-from my collection of lewis classics book
* the great divorce- from the same book as above
*love story-someone gave it to me
*esperanza rising-aunt gave it to me
* Dont waste your life-word john piper
* instruments in the hands of the redeemer - getting my bible study on

I have tried to make my time out in my little shack not so useless by spending time learning from Gods word-or learning from others who have also studied his word, and have gotten some much needed time just to be alone with the lord....and really i have really loved that! But i think i am ready for a change! I am ready to be doing what I am passionate about..and thats not hot dog making and beer selling..let me tell you haha. I am thankful for the job that i have now...but everytime i am in there i day dream of a time when maybe things will be wee bit different.

thats all folks.
