Day seventy-nine

After about a week and a half of being ahead on our work, we are swamped today in the digital room. In fact, as I write this, it's 4:03 pm and I've already been asked to stay for overtime. I said I could stay for an hour. I'll get home basically in time to post this today, barring anything happening. I'd forgotten that today was Thursday, so I really should've anticipated this happening.

Today, I finally got my information and forms for health insurance. I have until April 1st to submit, so this weekend, I want to go through all the information I have to make the best choice for me. Pray that The Lord will grant me wisdom in making the right decisions.

The additional deductions for my paychecks may mean picking up more overtime hours. I don't think I'd always take them, and of course, there will be times when I'm simply unavailable to do so. I also pray that God would grant me wisdom in making better use of the money I'm making. I've never been terribly good with money, but I need to get better, now that what I'm earning needs to go farther.

…

Update: 8:34pm. I am presently on my second break. Because of overtime, I will have one more break at 10:30. We are slammed with stuff to do. There's not a lot of stuff at present to pack, but there's tons of stuff still being cut and it's all due tonight at 10:00. Beyond that, it will be considered late. I'm praying that we can get it done.

Something doesn't seem to be working if we're having to rush to finish on time on a almost-daily basis. I don't know if we need more help (which we might), or if it's just how things are being done.

Something I meant to mention earlier: I got an email from church regarding a job I applied for nearly a year ago, ironically being the assistant in the church's printing room. The position opened up again and they had been trying to contact me for the past day or so. Finally, they emailed me this morning and I responded. They asked if I wanted to interview, but I had to ask if the position was full-time or part-time. When they said "part-time", I declined immediately. If they could have offered me a full-time position at the same per-hour I'm making now, I might've taken the interview. When I applied and didn't hear anything back, I didn't give it any more thought. I really did hear from them out of the blue. I hope the church finds someone who fills that need, because I know it's not me.
