Okay, so working... That's what I have been up to.

I started my Jamaican job. Visions of Applebees fly back at me. I feel my identity as a Christian pretty strong there, having to hold to things like patience and kindness. I think those are the virtues that stick out the most for me. I find myself walking away when the co workers start to talk down about other workers. Suddenly it has become extremely important that I don't complain, do my job, and do my best. Gossip and slander is time consuming, and so easy to slip into. I think it's the Spirit of God who puts ideas in my head like "go upstairs and clean the smoothie station" when I hear slander. I just can't stand it. I hope it's a habit i never acquire.

YET, though I feel set apart at work, spiritually, I know there's so much I need to work on (spiritually).

Also, it's hard for me to get myself to sit down and write... I guess I knew this was coming. I'll focus on this after Oregon, I suppose...

Oh, and to end tonight's thoughts:
I wonder where Hugo Vasquez is. That might be a fun game to play while I'm going through the close-routine at the restaurant.
