Day one-hundred-nineteen

My sister gave me a ride to work today so that she can come in and apply. I'll have to wait until I get home to see how things went. I'll post an update if I find out anything.

Something happened here at work yesterday, after I'd already posted yesterday's entry. Apparently, during lunch, an altercation that very nearly escalated into a fight took place. Of all the reasons for there to be a fight, it was over the use of one of the microwaves in the break room. One of the ladies I work with in the digital room witnessed it, and she said one of the guys involved had to be restrained. They both wound up bing sent home for the day.

It's safe to say that this doesn't make me want to stay here anymore than I already do, nor did it make me want to recommend my sister apply here. Still, it was an isolated incident. Not that it makes me want to stay here longer. Pray that God would grant me patience in seeking new employment. Every day that goes by, I get a little more eager to get out of here.

Update-7:39 pm: I just found out that one of the guys involved in the fight (the presumed instigator) has been fired.

I find myself glad that I didn't see the fight. Considering how I've felt about this job lately, I can't help thinking how tempted I would've been to walk out if I'd seen it. I don't really need any more reasons to want to leave this job.

I would like to say for the record that I didn't really plan to write this much about all that's happened. I had wanted to write a follow-up to my post from a couple of days about trusting God in the face of pessimism, but I'll wait and maybe do that tomorrow.

Update-11:13pm: According to Dad, my sister spent forty-five minutes filling out an application, and set up an appointment for an interview. We'll see what happens, Lord willing.
