Urban Poly Princess

That funeral was beautiful but looong. I enjoyed seeing so many cousins and relatives I haven't seen in awhile. I was exhausted Tuesday night and so was my brother who wanted me to spend another night BUUUT my mother reminded me it was my temple day. George took me home after 11pm and then wanted to stop off at Liane's apartment so he could see Lehua. We didn't get to my mother's house until 2am. She was so angry at all of us.

I felt like I woke up and then it was time for me to go to the temple. I feel like I worked in a daze. This Tongan girl I remember from my old stake is on my shift now. Her name is Mele Lio Kinikini. It's nice to have another Poly sister there. She decorates beautifully for weddings. I felt like a zombie throughout my shift although I particularly enjoyed performing initiatories again. It is my favorite thing to do at the temple.

I love being an ordinance worker although I was happy to be done. I slept even more and then my mother began to give me grief about being unemployed. She is so right and I am trying. I don't really want to work in temporary hell but I really don't have a choice. She just collects social security and my presence is a burden especially now that my unemployment has stopped.

I had a good phone interview Monday before I left to Happy Valley. Despite that I didn't get the position although I got a very nice email encouraging me to apply again and to ask Matt and Nyssa for interviewing tips. I also received an email that I'm being considered for the Assistant Manager position at West Jordan Library. They are inconsistent. BUUUT I would love to work there so I am hoping they call me soon to schedule an interview.

There was also a Church History Librarian position I saw there that I applied for. The Catholic High School Juan Diego has an opening for their Middle School Library. It really isn't what I want to do although I need a job. What really makes me not want to apply for a position there is that Shem attends Mass and considers himself 40% Catholic now. I am sure his job there as an English teacher is a huge factor in that.

Valerie and Cara who are the first and second counselor in my relief society came by when I was at the temple and brought me a sympathy card and European chocolate hazelnut cookies. Very sweet of them. I killed those cookies in one sitting.

It feels like I've gone away on a trip somewhere but I haven't been anywhere. Tomorrow is church. I want to see Steve there but I haven't had any sign that he's still attending my ward. I wish there were SEVERAL men in my ward who attended the ward temple nights, FHE and sealings AND choir BUUUT there are none. They also need a good job and have to be attractive to me. Maybe someone new will move into the ward. I need to find a part time job fast. My ULA presentation is fast approaching.
