OMG!!! (Oh my Gawrsh!)

Jehovah Jireh- God is My Provider

Ok, here's some big news for you all. On the 30th October, 2006 I will no longer be a Barman. That's right folks, I got the job!!! I'm the happiest Christian gamer in town right now. I have finally fufilled my career long dream of a 9-5 job. Awesome. I am soooo hyperactive at the moment. I'm fairly certain that if I drank a can of Red Bull I'd have an out-of-body experience. I'd like to thank all those that prayed for this over the many years it's taken. And for the first time in 10 years, I'll have *sociable* hours. How cool is that? I'm sure it's going to be a hard graft, and I'll need to adapt my skills to a more ruthless environment. But it'll be worth it I think. maybe I'll even get a managers job at some point... who knows. I'm feeling really optomistic and well, happy if I'm honest. I can't wait to tell my housegroup tonight- I've already told all my friends .^^

A tale of an idiot in my car

Allow me to spin a yarn about what happened to me after work last night. I was just getting into my car when a local guy approached me and asked if he could get a lift to Holbrooks. For those of you not savvy with Coventry, it's not too far from Bedworth, where I (tee hee used to) work. So I thought I'd be a good Christian and take him. After all, it only added 5 minutes to my journey home. Or so I thought. Meh.

He needed some cash apparantly so we stopped at a cashpoint, only for it to tell him his wages hadn't arrived. No big deal, time to drop him off. So I asked him to take me to his destination. he led me down some windy streets to a house. Our destination? No. It was his friends house. he wanted to see if he was in so he could borrow some cash. No luck. In bed. Off we go again.

He led me down some roads and I began to think, "You know, I'm sure Holbrooks was back there somewhere" as he ranted about not being able to get his cash and how he'd worked so hard for it. I'd come to realise that he'd been on the strong stuff. Whatever that was tonight. it was then that he decided to tell me our destination was Hillfields. Again for the non Coventrarians, I'll explain. It's nowhere near where I was going. M6= North Coventry. Hillfields=Middle of Coventry. This agitated me somewhat.

We drove to his location (Which I wished would hurry up) but no! the location was.. another bank. He managed to get a light (He'd been asking me if I'd got one for the whole journey. i gave up saying 'no' after the 12th time.) , and once again discovered... his money wasn't there. This time I told him that I was agitated and wanted to go home, and that he should take me to his destination, since I was meant to have been home an hour ago.

And so.. we drove around Hillfields again. We drove past some ladies that he leered at and were convinced were prostitues, and even accused me of gawking at them. Well, prostitutes apparantly look like a tarmaced road nowadays. Because that's where I'd been looking the whole time. He directed me around to some very familiar surroundings. And then he said to take him back to where we'd seen the two ladies. But as it happened, we were nowhere near there. He then told me to stop at the side of the road, which was... next to the bank that had refused his money 10 minutes earlier. I had seriously had enough now. I felt a bit guilty for what I did to him.

After he'd got out of the car, and had taken two steps, I hit the gas and left him there. I was very aggravated by now, but I went straight home. It probably was'nt the most Christlike thing to do, but theres asking a favour, and there's taking the mickey.

Can you drop me off? = A favour

Wanting me to drive you around after an 11hour shift til 2am looking for prostitues= Taking the mickey.

Conclusion

It's been a fab wek so far, and I've lots to do to prepare for my change in employment. I feel sorry for dumping that guy, but later I realised I'd dumped him in Hillfields, so I did actually drop him off where he wanted. I'm thinking it may have been more than a chance encounter, and had the enemies' stench about it.

Still, I got the job ^_^ Man, this is so exiting!!
