One of the things I don't like about where I work is that they expect us to be there, even in inclement weather, no matter what. If we call in and say we can't make it because of the weather, we get an occurance and we lose our attendance bonus. Since we're dealing with a winter storm right now, we're still expected to go into work. *rolls eyes* Even if it means taking our lives into our own hands.
I'm looking out my window right now, and the snow is coming down lightly. It makes for a very beautiful scene, but it is a deadly beauty. I guess Dana (secretary at TLCA) is getting her white Christmas.

Changes coming in the New Year...
I'll be making some changes come January. One of them is that I won't be going to the IC 3rd Branch anymore. I've been there long enough and it's time for me to move on to a family ward. Thankfully I'll still be able to hit singles activities and hang with my friends there.
I'll be going to the IC 1st Ward. I already called the bishop there and told him about what I wanted to do. Bishop Sheffield is very cool. And Melissa goes to 1st ward as does Keith so I won't feel completely out of place there.
Another change is that I'm going back to school, sort of.
I'm going to take an Institute class starting January 19th. The class is on the New Testament Acts to Revelations, and will be taught by Brother Murdock. Sadly, with my work schedule, it's the only class I can take. *snif* I'd love to take a class being offered that's being taught by Bro. Mulherin, but my work schedule gets in the way. Maybe next semester.

Where did the Spirit of Christmas go...?
This is what I want to know...
On Sunday night, my roommate and I were putting up the tree. I had some Christmas music on as we worked. She mentioned that she really didn't like the season. I asked her why, and what her response was really made me stop and think. She said that all people cared about in the season was giving gifts and getting gifts. They've forgotten the true meaning of Christmas, which is celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and loving one another. The commercialism is a major turn off for her.
As I essentially work for J.Crew as a CSR, the commercialism is becoming a turn off for me too. These people with disposable incomes are calling in, wanting to order what the scriptures refer to "fine apparel" for exhorbitant amounts of money. The best thing I can do from here on out is cling to the Gospel and remember why we're celebrating Christmas, remember the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, and to love my fellow man.
