A Great Struggle o' Mine

One more post about my work, I promise.

I am a graduate of the UGA and have a degree in Management from the Terry College of Business. I am currently working a $7/hr job where the only job requirement is not having an extensive criminal record...a job where pretty much 100% of the people who have had this job in the past have had no college education.
When I walk upstairs and see my friends or my brother, I put on this attitude that says "Yeah this job's not that great. But it doesn't matter because I am a humble guy who considers no job to be beneath him. I know my identity is not found in what job I have anyways. So I'm not ashamed. I'm above that outlook. I know who I am."

Friends, it is sad to say that the attitude I portray and try to have is far from reality. I AM ashamed. I am embarrassed about my job. I wish I was secure in who I was enough to not care what people would think. So because of my insecurities, I spend my time trying to come across as an incredibly humble and godly worker. Yet all the while, I really want them to know how much better I am than the job I'm working. Thankfully, God is a friend of insecure, self-promoting sinners.

My Incompetence at Snelling Dining Hall

I've had 2 black ladies ask me out at Snelling over the past few months. They both have kids. I told them I don't want to be no baby's daddy. They didn't get it. But neither did I.

If you can picture this in your head, you might chuckle: i'm driving this 20 year old UGA Food Services van today to run an errand for Snelling. As I take a right turn onto East Campus Road, my driver side door flies open, so far open that I cannot reach it. Traffic's not bad, so I continue to try to solve this problem w/o stopping the van. I try the ol' slow down then accelerate real fast trick to fling the door shut. Then I try to hit this guy crossing the street so his body slams the door back. Surprisingly, none of these worked so I stretched my foot out to grab it. It worked. Yea.

Failed Joke told in the Produce/Eggs walk-in cooler:
Waylon: Grab that box of lettuce on top
Martin: That's weird; this lettuce is blushing.
Waylon: huh? blushing?
Martin: yeah i think it saw the salad dressing
Waylon: what?
Martin: nevermind

The Ol' Island/CD Question

You know that question, "If you could take one CD with you on an island (an island equipped w/ a boombox and a lifetime supply of batteries), what would it be?"

It's between one of three CDs:

Andrew W.K. - I Get Wet
It seriously pumps me up like no other. What an adrenaline rush. And it doesn't get old. This CD would keep my sanity on the island.

Ocean Waves by Echos of Nature
It's basically just a cd of the sounds that the ocean makes. (this answer is not serious; this is my attempt at a joke)

Handel's Messiah
It's so powerful, beautiful, and God-glorying that it gives me chills every time I hear it. I think it's a halfway decent depiction of heaven. If you've ever listened to all 3 hours of it, you know what I'm talking about.
