Breakin' Out the Bubbly

So I have a new job. So far, I love this new job. I'm getting to watch people do exactly the job that I want to be doing. (I know, go with me.) It's good experience. But, it's temporary - through November. So, in a temporary job, especially, it's important to be impressive. Even if I'm not in this office long-term, I want to be within the system long-term. So, I go early, I stay late, I'm eager, I take out people's recycling... and I don't turn down a task, no matter how menial.



Then I am introduced to this cabinet:

Turns out, I need to know a little something about liquor. More specifically, if our office happened to be hosting an event with, say, Portuguese Octapodi grilled with micro organic greens, olive oil and red wine vinaigrette for dinner... I may have to come here and choose the - beverages - that would most appropriately accompany such a meal.

Truth be told, I'm ill equipped for such a task. However, this is not information that I choose to share. In fairness, it wasn't on my resume, and wasn't brought up in my interview. So, untruthful I have not been!

I don't have to serve it. I don't have to drink it. I don't even have to watch too-wealthy benefactors drink it. And so, I shall choose their - beverages. But first, I'll research.

Here's to being a star employee, and to learning new skills. Oh yeah, and to temp work. Cheers.

Updates

Ok, so it has been a while. And, yes, I know that my third blog shouldnt start out that way. To be fair, I never claimed to be good at this.

Still, if late is better than never, here are a few things that have been going on in my world lately:

1. I'm really excited about the developments in the City on a Hill Project arena - the Lord is really blessing it and us from every angle, and that's pretty cool to watch.
2. My parents and Justin's parents have come to visit (along with 3 of our 4 brothers, collectively), and it was great getting to show them our new place and around our area. Even better - there's a place for them to sleep here! :)
3. I'm happily, albeit temporarily, working at UNC in the Office of University Events. I'm helping to plan Dr. Holden Thorp's installation ceremony and University Day. I'm really excited about it - I happen to like planning stuff. :)
4. I met my first NC friend - she & her husband just moved here, too... It's been fun getting to know her!
5. I got my first dog-sitting gig. Only a 1/2 day, but it just might be the start of a great new business!
6. I really want a dog...

More about the new job later... but I have a funny story about an 8 ft. tall metal cabinet of high priced liquor that I am apparently responsible for...
