K, here’s what is going on. I did apply for a full time auto parts delivery job with Napa auto parts. I hope i get it-its in Kansas City, Ks and I think it would offer me the opportunity to move out and closer to downtown like i’ve been hoping to. This would be a much better long term solution before the railroad calls back.
speaking of the railroad, they did call last friday and offered a couple of permanent transfers-one to desmoines, one to wichita/salina/harrington, and one to st. paul, mn. permanent means i dont get to come back to kansas city. there was also a temporary transfer offered-to st. paul. wasn’t easy to turn down as st. paul is a decent place and the weather is nice during the summer and i could leave it at any time and still be in line for work in kc. however, i live out of a hotel and basically do nothing but work and have no friends or family around. had to pass-they wanted an answer right away anyway and i wasn’t prepared for that.
so now i just wait like i’ve been doing for a while.
other news, bowling league is starting out a little rocky, gotta keep at it.
i had a small setback with making jacob’s well church my home church-it involves the role of women in the church and i’m going to meet with a pastor of the church to get clarification on the matter. i think it will end up ok.
i learned this week its pretty tough to be decent friends with people who not only have a lot of different interests and a few different beliefs, but are also a lot younger than you. In fact, its probably nearly impossible. which is too bad. oh well. life goes on, everyone we meet serves some purpose-and i like to think most are positive.
