Unexpected Pleasures and Small Stuff


Unexpected pleasures are a beautiful thing. For instance, The Buick Verano's Unexpected Pleasures commercial that lives up to the concept. It makes me smile each time I watch it, which is fitting. I think my job counts as this too: the people are fun, and I get payed to workout! It's like a cool, old lady from my church who I waited on today said, "This would be a fun place to work! I'd work here." I agreed with her. It's one of those jobs such as barista or book store clerk that's kind of day dreamy.

And so is small stuff. This British lady's post was an excellent reminder of Ann Voskamp's book, One Thousand Gifts. It's not a life changing book, but it's good.

My small stuff this week is the Hunger Games soundtrack-- I'm totally digging on it. And, I've worked ten days straight (8 days of work and 2 days of 6+ hours of interviewing), and I get a day off. When it rains, it pours. It's nice to work and have the hope that interviews bring, but I'm glad to have a day that's low key. I heard from some friends and professors because of applying to jobs that care about my intelligence... it's on the refreshing side. My last teaching job didn't check with my professors.
