Job

Well, about two weeks ago I put in my letter of resignation. So I am officially without a job for next year. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I was in Anchorage where I had interviews with school districts throughout Alaska. I received two job offers, but I turned them down. I had a screening interview with the principal of the school I really want to go to, but I wasn't offered a job because they are still doing internal transfers within the district. But, she said she really wants to hire me and that she sees no way she will fill all the positions that I could take and wants me at her school. She also said that she would like me to come back sometime and tour her school. I took that as a really good sign. I was also told by a few other districts that as soon as the internal transfers were done they had a job for me. So, while as of now I'm unemployed for next year, I'm not too worried about finding a job.

Problems at church today

Today we had some problems at church. First, in sacrament meeting, we had two families walk in and there was nowhere for them to sit. We had to pull out the hard/unpadded chairs for them to sit on.

Then in Relief Society, we had so many sisters in the Relief Society room that we had to get chairs out of the other classrooms and put them in the aisle. There was no way to walk in the room. Even then, we had a sister standing in the doorway. It's a good thing the fire chief didn't stop by. The sisters sitting in the middle had to wait for the sisters on the edge to leave and move their chairs so that they could get out. We decided that we need to stick the primary outside in the conex and take over the primary room. That or add a second story.

Then at the potluck, all the round tables were set up with chairs around them. We usually only use five of the seven. Half of the branch had gone through the food line, and there were no more spots to sit left. So, we had to pull out the long tables that never get used and pull chairs out of all the classrooms. It was a little crowded in the chapel/multi-purpose room. I told the branch president he might want to look into getting a bigger building.
Isn't it nice to have problems at church.
