Another Job?
The shower was good. Maybe the best part was the advice given by two married ladies about pleasing one's husband. And there was one particularly funny tongue-in-cheek gift — a small grater with the note attached: "Lindsay [Bertha's hubby-to-be] may be great, but this is a little grater."

It's funny (or not — maybe it proves my laziness) how most of my jobs have basically fallen into my lap. I haven't gone through any grueling application processes to get them — I've found them by knowing people who know the employers, by being asked out of the blue, or by submitting a little application for a basically shoe-in job (i.e. the last two research jobs). Yesterday evening JK (wife of the proprietor of J & J Truck and Tire in Halsey — they go to my church) asked if I'd be interested in filling part of Bertha's job when she quits. It'd be a day or two a week, consisting of payroll stuff and computer work. It's mighty tempting, although I need to give it a lot of thought. It's hard to know how gruelling this fall's school schedule will be, and I already have ~6-6.5 hours of workstudy/week (which almost doesn't count since I can study on that job). I think I could make it work (so long as the hours aren't more than 8-10) and it would probably be really good for me — make me apply myself under a more hectic schedule. But I don't want my grades to go down the drain, either...
