Work news and permits

It's almost 4:00 pm as I attempt to write today's post. I'm trying to fight off taking a nap right now.

Today's been one of those days where nothing seems to be going on at all. After the busy week I've had, it's nice to have these quiet moments. My brother is on the other side of the room from me, watching a rerun of Mr. Belvedere. He seems to be really getting into it.

An update to an item mentioned in last Thursday's post:

I called the number my brother Joe gave me for his boss, Dave. As I wrote previously, Joe told me his company was looking for a new person for their shipping department.

I spoke to the manager on Friday morning. When I called Dave, he told me that the owner had decided to try out her granddaughter in the position. Regardless, he asked me to send along my résumé in case anything should happen. I've prayed about it and God may open this door. However, I know that God may not mean this place for me, but I pray that I would trust Him in all things.

Near the end of the workday on Friday night, I told a couple of people at work that I was trying to find another job. As I got to talking to them, I realized that I was not the only person who had realized how difficult our work situation was becoming. Our workload is increasing, but our ability to come up with it has not. My fear is that eventually we are going to be perpetually behind in our work. As I think about it, we're already there, but the difference may be just how far behind we fall before it just becomes unworkable.

This Saturday, I have an appointment at the DMV to get my learner's permit.

I am thirty, by the way. And, I fully realize how late that is to be getting a license.

I think the reason why I haven't gotten my license sooner is that having one wouldn't have made much of a difference in my life. I don't own a car and am not likely to own one any time soon. I'm doing it now because Dad has decided to try and teach me again, and my previous permit had expired.

Today I had meant to take the time and review the handbook, but I'm already trying to shake off a headache. I've already taken the written test before, so I'm not really worried about it. Also, I have time during the week before and after work that I can use to review. The difficulty is in making the effort to review. Anyway, hopefully things will go well and that sometime within the next few months, I'll finally become a licensed driver.
