Interviewing preachers

For the first time I get to be on the other side of getting a job and I am part of hiring someone. The tricky thing is that its a Sr. Minister and not a stockroom boy. A lot of hands are in the pot and many people have many opinions, and certain Pastors appeal to certain people. It so far has been since August that we have been missing that Sr. Minister role.

If I were interviewing at this place I would need a vacation. Its a 3 day interview, Day 1: Is meal with ministers & elders then an interview with the elders 2: A meal with the staff and interview with the Staff, then later on bring a message to the congregation after a meal. 3: Come to a service WOW what a weekend.

The funny thing is listening to the ministers when the congregation asks him questions. Many times they sound like a politician and seem fake. The take the question piece by piece and speak in vague statements and confuse the questioner what they really asked. Most answers sound like something out of a book or probably been asked that so many times you know exactly what to say. Rarely do you see a real side to them and get a honest answer.

Between making jokes and ho-humming around questions means, well I don't know but I don't like it. I kinda hope we interview someone who tells it like it is and doesn't mind giving the truth. Well its kinda fun interviewing but man it takes up a bunch of my free time. My next interview my first question is "boxers of briefs"

Sleep

Sleep is something we all need. They say the average person should get about 8 hours of sleep well I get about 6-7 hours and its annoying. It is from that dang nabbit video game World of Warcraft and the people a time zone behind. This is how I keep in contact with my brothers and some friends. But sometimes we have to "finish" what we have started and I am not done laughing and having a good time.

You might think this is kinda silly, but this has been my way of living since I was in college.

Conversation (paraphrased for the blind)

1:00 A.M.

Adam: Oh man im going to bed

Friend: Dude come on

Adam: Dude there is nothing to do

Friend: Wanna get a lighter and blow flames at Brandon then prank call him till he gets really mad?

Adam: DO I!!!!!! Who's got the hairspray?!?!

3:30 AM

Adam: Oh man that was sooooo funny, He was stomping down the hall. "ARG WHO DID THAT, I WILL TAKE YOU AND BEAT YOU AND THROW INTO A BAG AND PUT YOU IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER. And who would have thought Chris would burn all the hair off his arm........................................ 3:30 NO WAY

7:50 A.M

Adam: Dude I shouldn't have stayed up I got class in 10 minutes and I think I might die

3 years later, same friends up to no good but harmless this time. We aren't hurting people physically just hoping to make peoples lives miserable on a game and laughing all the way to the bank.

Normal people get 8 hours though, I think its time to do that. I am going to start sleeping more as a New Years resolution.

Toilet Paper

The time I spend at home is few and far between. So I don't have to buy a lot of stuff for the house such at paper towels and what I realized today toilet paper. I was about to run out of a roll so I went to get the last one out of the closet. Then it dawned on me I haven't bought toilet paper since I moved here 1 year and 2 months ago. In fact that toilet paper was given to me. So there you have it and can now see, my time at home is few and far between. That is all
