New Position

Hi,

Well, it's finally happened. On Monday, Mary asked if i wanted a new position here at Friend Ships. I don't have a title yet, but my role is that of a liason between Mary and three different departments. They are the warehouse/yard, the greenhouse and the grounds. Right now, department that will take up most of my time is the warehouse/yard. But, in the spring and summer, i'm sure the grounds and greenhouse departments will be more demanding.

Okay, so you may have asked yourself, "What exactly is Joel talking about, what does he actually do?" The answer is that i'm not quite clear on that myself. So far i know that part of what i'm doing is trying to take some of the load off of Mary. By being the liason, i'll hopefully be able to start making executive decisions about these departments. Also, Mary still hasn't given me a complete list of my duties. I'm happy to be able to help out this way. It isn't exactly what i'd call my hearts desire, but it is a change and i'm going to give it my all.

Besides that, life has been okay. I had a fever on Valentine's Day. Dess got me flowers, a card and pizza. I'm feeling better now and i'm on my feet again. Dess is getting pretty tired of driving and running around. Well, she may be tired of something else, but hasn't put her finger on it yet. Please pray for her. Pray for joy and peace in her life. She's been feeling down lately.

That's the update as of today. I'm feeling tired still from my sickness and because the sanitation alarm was going off at 3:30am and i didn't really fall asleep again after checking it out.
