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.

life lately.

an update with pictures!!!

so i'm officially a california resident!! crazy, huh?

since kathryn was in sweden for her birthday, we had a joint celebration with glug and cake. yay for birthdays!!

i spent christmas with the treatches (and the hedbergs!) it was so good to be with people who know and love me when i couldn't go home. and it was SO good to see erikka and eric :)

erikka and me!! :)

i love sleeping.

i have NOT been getting enough sleep. that combined with staring at a computer screen, equals me trying desperately not to fall asleep at my desk...this is what i used to feel like when i was in class.

oh LA.

apparently i checked someone out at crate & barrel who is on Mad TV. haha. i don't really think this counts as a celebrity sighting because i didn't know she was famous until after someone told me.

in other news, i'm now 23!! and there are 10 days until christmas!! i cannot wait to see erikka and eric! what a great christmas present :)


ps. it actually does get cold in LA...seriously, i'm cold.

ahhh! i hate traffic.

oh. my. gosh. LA traffic is the worst. everyone warned me, but i didn't really understand until now! oh man. i miss the days when i would turn on my ipod and zone out on the El in chicago... but i do love having the radio in the car ;)

...

i miss my friends... very much.

rabbit, rabbit!
