About 8 weeks ago I started sorting out my room so it would look tidy, I then stopped because I went to new-wine, and then was planning to move out again so didn't worry too much.
well I haven't moved out, and my room has now got to a whole new level of messyness, (for the physicists out there, entropy is at maximum).
Well I thought I would start trying to tidy it, but I soon get to the conundrum of 'far too much stuff, for the amount of storage in the room'.
And then, do I buy some more storage to make it easier, or wait untill I move into somewhere more permanent? hmmm
I'm going to buy special boxes that file paper away, but can be easily carried.
As you can tell, I'm very excited by this, hence the procrastination :p

A new job
So I finally got a job,
This was quite annoying as it meant I wouldn't be able to hang around the church office or swoon over certain people mid-day (not that I would ever do that). However money is money and in this capitalist society it gets handy now and again (for example if you want to eat).
So I started yesterday - in the exciting world of Data inputting in X.
However to be fair there have been a lot of ups; firstly I didn't have to pay for parking and was given a parking permit - as its in the middle of a big city this is very useful,
secondly I was only working till 12 - as then the computer broke and I spent the rest of the day effectively wasting time whilst the IT dept failed - so I got to go home early as well but will still be paid for the full day.
Finally I now get to practise being a light and a priestly presence in 'normal life'. Yes it sounds deadly boring but actually it can be quite amusing (to me at least).
I've been outed as a christian (well I was asked what I wanted to do when I was older and I said Vicar, so it was fairly easy to get into conversation). I've got no idea what I'm going to do - try to evangelise people, to get people to think about faith, to befriend them etc etc... but I've found myself already thinking "arr this is a 'gospel oppurtinity' coming up in conversation, I wonder how I should handel it" - and if you have my twisted sense of humour it does help to make life more interesting :P
-hmm so it sounds like I just said people should try to be christian at work in order to make life more interesting. That's not quite what I mean, infact its not what I mean at all.
I think what I mean is given it's something I feel I should do, I choose to try and find it enjoyable - and actually find it can be very enjoyable.
I imagine that will change at some point though, but as it says in Ecclesaistes you should enjoy the good when it happens,because you don't know how long it will last.
On other news, I think I need to brush up on the semi-circle (http://www.lifeshapes.com/shapes.cfm) not just for me, but also so I can help out the rest of the Walsall Community.
[aside - that is just a name I've made up for the sake of a name, there is no name yet.
basically it's made up of a group of people, many of whom live in on Walsall street, who meet up for breakfast and prayer in the morning, and try to do things to bless the locals here (so far this has meant inviting people over for dinner, and doing some gardening in the vicarage).
Anyway we haven't worked out a regular pattern of rest-which it begining to cause problems - and I'm hoping that I can re-learn something which will help us... then again I may just learn how to diagnose the problem but still be no closer to a solution.
Finally on a completely unrelated piece of news: I think I've worked out why my feet have been hurting me more than normal recently. All I need is another sheet on the bed to stop my feet falling out (seriously it does make a difference for my feet, I won't go into the details on why).
and so ends a very long post......
