Letter Carrier

I just received notice that I am going to be delivering mail in Payson. I'm the Saturday substitute for one of the rural routes there. Eventually I'll be able to sub for 2 more routes as I memorize them. It will be part time for quite some time, but there is potential for it to grow into a very nice job someday.

I'm hoping that with this part time job, that it will be easier for me to find other part time work.

When I get more information about it, I'll share it.

Dilemma

I've got a little dilemma. I applied for and was offered a temporary job doing data entry for the next 14 days non stop. The pay isn't great, but it is work, and it will stretch out my unemployment for a few additional weeks since I won't need to make a claim.

I felt about as good as I could about the offer (I had just sat in a computer lab for 3 hours, suffering while the Hep B shot I got yesterday took control of immune system. I was looking forward to a few weeks of work, and then I checked my phone.

Oklahoma City had called while I was in trying to get a job, and left me a message that I needed to be there in September 8 for a CPAT orientation. One of the requirements for the first job was a need to attend work 14 days straight.

Anyways, I'll be calling the fire department tomorrow morning and getting as much information as I can to make a good decision. Oklahoma City is one of the 2 firefighting jobs that I really wanted, the pay is good, the cost of living is very low, and there is a housing development a few blocks away from the Temple that is very very affordable.

Please keep me in your prayers.
