The Working Stiff.

For the first time since the Summer of 2002, I, Kevin Mills, have a full-time job.

I’m currently working as a temp for Love’s Country Stores, in the accounting department, Technically I work for AccounTemps (or OfficeTeam, depending on who you ask). I’m pretty impressed with this temp agency, I should say. After signing up with Express Personnel back in December with nary a job lined up, I went over to OfficeTeam and had a job lined up the very next day. Plus, I took a lot of fancy tests which said I’m a whiz at Microsoft Word, Excel and Adobe Photoshop. And hey – who doesn’t want that kind of immediate feedback, huh? So not only did I get a job lined up, but I snagged some Gee-Whiz Atta-Boys in the process.

At any rate, I’ve been working here for the past week, and it’s not too bad. Granted, punching in numbers and dates on invoices all hour – for eight hours straight – can be a bit mind-numbing. Heck, it’s probably the dullest job I’ve ever had as a temp, and I’ve had my share. But the people I work with are nice, and they appreciate my sense of e-mail humor, so I’m, not complaining at all. (I’ve always believed that 90% of one’s job satisfaction is garnered from your co-workers. Might be overstating it a bit, but it’s a hefty percentage, I’m sure…)

In the meantime, I’m also in the application process for a job at LifeChurch.tv, as the “Internet Campus Administrator.” The title is kinda corn-cobbish to me, but the description was right up my alley. “Excellent communication skills. Chatting ability. Self-starter & a people person.” It sounds mighty nice, and I’m pleased to say that after last Thursday’s interview I’ve been called back to undergo the “pre-employment testing” THIS Thursday. Yee and haw. (I fully expect to pee in a cup. In fact, I’ll be disappointed if I don’t…)

So I’m thanking God for the opportunity to work at LifeChurch, and I hope He’ll continue to open the doors according to His will, whether there or elsewhere.

And now… back to number crunching…
