the life of a file clerk.

i am currently temping for the international television legal department at the WB, as a file clerk. let me just say that there are times when i find myself so very tired of alphabetizing and my hands are dry from touching paper for so long. but, being in the file room hidden amongst the shelves and shelves of files, gives me the unique opportunity to experience human interaction, like a fly on the wall. most times people come in quickly scan or make a copy and then leave, never knowing that i'm there. other times i catch a conversation or a humorous exchange, the moments in which i believe we are most human.

i feel blessed to have a job, but more importantly i feel blessed to be able to experience God through people in this way. i know there is more for me than the life of a file clerk, but for right now i am choosing to see the good in this job. how truly heartwarming it can be to observe and experience human interaction.

This is good perspective, Alisha. And I agree with you--little exchanges can say a lot about people, both as individuals and as a group.
