Today some director called me from Hill Air Force Base. He wanted to be sure I was alright with less than 40 hours a week. YES, I'm alright with that. Actually I want that. It sounds like an amazing job I'd love ALTHOUGH it pays 16.75 an hour and it is a solo librarian position that would do ALL the programming - Children, Teens AND Adults. There are 2 other library aids that also work there. I am sooo up for that sort of challenge BUUUT the position should pay A WHOLE HELL OF A LOT MORE. I do like the part time aspect however because it will allow me to develop my real estate thing. He did sound like we could work on the pay however which encouraged me.

At the end he told me he would send my name to Human Resources and that they would call me with an offer. I was almost about to ask him if he didn't want to interview me first but I caught myself in time. I told him I'd watch my email. I haven't heard anything YET which is most frustrating. I went to my interview with Robert Half today. It was alright, actually it was very good. I will make sure to write my Thank you card tonight. I'm hanging out at Harmon's so I can check my email periodically. It is after 5 now so I probably need to wait until tomorrow.

It's getting cold in here.

Yesterday this ward acquaintance - he's been at fhe which is why I recognize him, asked me out of the blue if I'd go to New York with him for Thanksgiving where we could watch the parade, go and see his girls and just have fun. OF COURSE New York for Thanksgiving sounds amazing, with some guy in my ward who is good-looking BUUUT divorced with children AND who has never even asked me out or even sought me out just for conversation. I asked him if he was going to pay for my ticket BECAUSE THAT'S why I'm not going. He said he couldn't but that my ticket would only be a little over $400. I thanked him for the invitation BUUUT seriously???

If he developed a friendship with someone he'd probably find someone to go with him. He is physically attractive to me. It was so strange. It didn't feel like he was even asking me out. A buddy trip perhaps? He needs to work on his technique.

Last night I went with Cara, bishop and his wife to my friend Lusi's house. Her father just passed away. He is 88 and had been ill for some time. Lusi was the YA rep in the first Tonga ward I attended in Salt Lake City. She is stalwart and although she lives in Salt Lake she doesn't communicate in English unless she has to do that. Lusi is one of 15, yes 15 children. 3 are triplets. Bishop has 6 kids. I told Sister White last night I bet she thought she had a big family.

Bishop was perfect last night. I waited for he, his wife and Cara so we could go nicely in together. We had a nice conversation with them. I'm glad I was there so we could do that well and keep the cultural norms. I'm so glad my mother found this nice crocheted blanket I could give Lusi. I wanted to do that for her. Cara sent a card around the RS to sign and bishop gave her another card. I did the traditional thing. She cried when I gave it to her she was so moved.

I love how stalwart her entire family is. We could all learn from her family. I see her mother in the temple EVERY Saturday. She hardly understands English but she is there EVERY Saturday.
