'Dream' Jobs?

As part of the ongoing search for a job, I have been sending out about 2-3 resumes and applications every day for the last 2 weeks or so. So far nothing. But I have come across some very interesting jobs that I applied for. Really makes you think - do people really do this? Of course they do!

Now can you imagine me doing any of these things!?! ;-) But at this point in time, I am willing to do anything to support our family.

Here are some of the more interesting jobs...

1. Mortuary Assistant - I applied for this one, but don't know exactly what the job will include. It only says that they will 'train in ALL aspects' of the business. That sounds really interesting!

2. Pest Control / Exterminator - this one was also interesting, at least for me. Hey John, maybe you can use some of the principles (and equipment) in fending off the 'pests' that 'bug' you on Wed nights! This might come in handy!

3. Traffic Data Collector - ever wonder who puts out those thin rubber hoses across some streets, and what they're for? Well that's where the Traffic Data Collector comes in! Oh, and it's used to collect data on how many cars use that street (volume) and how fast (speed) and what time of day, etc. Cool huh?! Just gotta be really fast on your feet dodging all those cars and trucks. Have you ever played the video game Frogger - just imagine you're the frog.

Well, continue to pray for us / me. We need to get settled with a job in the next month or two. But we know god will provide.

thanks jacque, we're not worried because we do know god is in this. but it is hard making the adjustment. i am constantly reminded of the passage in acts about philip and the eunuch where god showed us that our time here will be a desert time - emotionally, spiritually and i guess also financially! but he used philip in the desert and then brought him back out. so there's always hope.
