So, I will expand on this soon

But I just left the most AWKWARD conversation with my boss

who took it upon himself to take me into his office and then QUESTION how someone as "educated" as myself, could possibly belief in something as irrational as [a] God.

and then peppered me with questions for a good 20 minutes....mind you this man has a PhD in Theology...taught at the collegiate level.... and grew up baptist. But is now a strong agnostic.

And actually expects me to formulate, and articulate arguments to his satisfaction

I was praying without ceasing, that God would make sure my words were of him, not argumentative, and full of Truth.

and he thinks that this should be an ongoing thing because he finds "religious folk so darn interesting"... [insert supremely condescending voice]

Good Lord.

Woman of the Bible

My bosses are insane. Every time I tell stories to my mom about the shenanigans of working at Local 237 she cracks up. I was hired to do research for the Education Department of the Union, but usually end up doing a lot of random admin stuff, listening to everyone complain about each other (which wears on the soul), homework, midday shopping excursions, handling member question, facebook etc. At some point I plan on devoting an entry to each one of the "characters in my office"--The Alcoholic but God-fearing Director, the single living-like-a-bachelorette-with a-whole-lotta-debt Assistant Director, and the Jaded secretary,--just to name a few.

choice quote from today
"G**damnit these people make me sick! Oh wait, honey I'm so sorry! I don't mean to offend you, I know you're a woman of the Bible" - Jaded Secretary

Anyway so the entire department decided to take a 3+ hour lunch..and I'm here holding down the fort all on my lonesome, reading Ladies Home Journal (don't judge, limited access at work!) There's an article referencing a challenge featured in Smith magazine (smithmag.net): Write your love story in six words. The results were complied in a new book called Six-Word Memoirs on Love & Heartbreak, and they range from absurdly funny to poignant to downright heartrending.

"Magnetic attraction fused two polar opposites"

"Not always perfect. But so worthwile"

"Much married, fourth time is charmed"

"May/December...the best of seasons"

"Hog the covers, I don't mind"

"He's dumb but lifts heavy stuff"
