Life Update

Well if you haven't heard by now, I no longer work at US Bank.
As embarrassing as it is to admit, I was fired.

Whoops.

I didn't steal money or quit going to work or cuss out a coworker or commit sexual harassment.
(I think all of those are episodes of either the Office or Seinfeld)
My cash drawer was simply out of balance too many times for a management position.
Did I mention I haven't worked there since early December?
If you've been looking for me, I've been at home.  Let's get lunch!

So, I'm under employed at the moment.
I'm in my sixth year of student ministry in Afton
but that only consumes my Wednesdays and Sundays.
What I do Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday is at my discretion (and my wife's).
Which means:

I've started doing P90X.
I'm learning Spanish through Rosetta Stone.
I've gotten much better at FIFA 14.
Cleaning is always on my "to-do" list.
My coffee consumption is on the rise.
I've watched nearly the entire series of Dexter.
I shave a lot less often.

And I'm going back to school in the fall.
Why?  Because as much as I love student ministry,
I don't want to make a career out of it.
I really like investing in students' lives without being a burden on a church's finances.
So, I'm going to be an engineer!

In the meantime, I'm looking for temporary employment opportunities.
Hire me for some odd jobs!
Hire me to help you with construction!
Hire me for some design work! (I dabble)
Hire me for editing!
Hire me to hang out with you!

Seriously, I love learning and doing a variety of things.

One last thing:  don't pity me for getting fired.  
Working at the bank drained the life out of me.  It's a good thing I'm not there anymore.
