Just finished my column for the week.  Got a good reception to the last one, so I hope it continues! It is kind of nice to be a local celebrity.  I worked with a new gal on Saturday and she said, "Oh!  You're Jenny On the Book! I love your column!"  I thought that was really cool.  And so far, it does not seem to be too taxing to write.  I am not a great writer, but I just write what I find interesting, so I think it turns out pretty well.

On another subject, I am a horrible person.  Several weeks ago, I applied for a job that I really wanted.  I really, really wanted it.  My boos, Marlene was retiring and I was so happy that I could apply for her job, I thought it would be just perfect for me.  I mean, I already had experience in the ticket office, and this would be something I could stick with for years to come! I felt pretty confident in my interview. I thought everything was working out perfectly. But I didn't get it. I wanted to just get over it. Just let it go. But I can't. The person who got the job is a 21 year old girl who just graduated from BYU-I in July. She just got married in August. But she has worked for the ticket office as a student for a couple of years. I saw her on Saturday at work and it was awkward for me. I was angry at her. There was no reason for me to be mad at her. It's not her fault they chose her. But I just wanted to grab her hair and pull. I thought I was over this! I mean it was several weeks ago. But I can't let it go. It was really the perfect situation for me. And I keep thinking, that girl needs to get a full-time job! Not take a part-time job from a mom who needs it! Prayer. That is the only solution. I am going to have to pray this hate out of my heart. I have to work with her occasionally and it will not do for me to have these ill feelings. Anyway, now I am on the hunt for a job. It has to be perfect, though. Fat chance, right?

All I can say is I'm REALLY glad I didn't get that job. I would NOT want you to pull out my hair...assuming you could reach it. I feel your pain though! That kind of girl should not have gotten that job over you!

I agree with you Tall Erin. But I also think the Lord has other plans for Jen. Just relax Jen, and enjoy your life as it is.
