So much is always happening!

it seems like i can't keep up on this blog with the events that are taking place in my life! God IS good! As many of you know my now i have been able to quit my part-time job at Menards in exchange for a full-time job at Biomet. (its is an orthopedic company) Almost thirty years ago my dad walked in and was hired without and application as a part time janitor. Over the years God blessed him enormously and he has now risen to and engineer as well as head of the intern program they run for the hip department! Now I have been blessed to follow for a little while in my father's footsteps and work for the same company that he has for so many years. I too had the unique opportunity of being hired without an application or interview! God works in wonderous ways! I am continually discovering things i greatly enjoy about my new occupation. For example my job is very important (unlike my retail job). It feels good to have a job that is needed. That people's lives truly depend on how good of a job i do! Its intense and challenging and i really like the challenge! :) In case you do not know i work in the sterill room in the packaging dapartment. Yes, this means that i have to suit up every time i go in there! lol I have to were 2 white puffy hair nets, (the first just covers my hair and the second covers my whole head and down to the bottom of my neck!) then i put on a lab coat that comes to my anckles almost, next i sit on a bench that divides the room, put one booty shoe cover thing on swing my leg over then the same to the next leg. my show cant touch one side of the floor and my covered shoe cant touch the other side of the floor!!! Then i wash my hands for so many seconds in special soap and air dry, then lotionize with special lotion, then put on cotton glove liners, THEN put on rubber gloves up over top of the cuffs of my coat!!! Then in case that wasn't enough i have to rub alcohole on my gloves! this is about a 10 to 15 minute process i do 4 times a day! lol The cleanest factory job ever! lol Those of you who know me may also know that i have never been one to be super maticulous however i am very quickly learning to be so! As i said before lives litterally depend on how good of a job i do. This is because i am the last person to touch the implant before the doctor put it in the patient! I inspect the implant and paper work then double seal it in foam and plastic containers then pass it on to the next department who actually mails it to the hospital. Although my job can be seen as boring i really am enjoying it so far! I hope i havent borred you all with such detailed accounts of my work but i wanted to better explain it for some of you that have asked.
I am still working at the Y but have dropped down to about six hours a week of lifegaurding instead. Which brings me to my biggest prayer request right now, my boss at the Y. It has become a very strenuous relationship and difficult environment to work in. I hope to work things out soon but am a little short on a hope of a good outcome right now. Please pray that we could work out the problems and God would receive the glory of it and that i would really learn the lessons that He is trying to teach me through this. My biggest temptation right now is to just quit! however that is not the best option. :( Yes i am stuggling with patience among other things! Can you tell? lol
Well the weather is starting to warm up! I am soooo excited as i am getting spring fever! Sunday it was actually warm enough to wash my car and vacuum out the inside! it needed it soooo badly! Such a good felling to have a clean car again!
Ok i have written quite enough for one post and will write more later as i think of other things. :) Praying for you!
