For the past 9 weeks, I've been working in a totally different work environment than I'm used to. No more corporation bull-shit! No more screaming kids! No more power-hungry executives!

I was hired as the Church Secretary for St.Matthew-on-the-Plains Anglican Church here in Burlington. Now you'd think it's an laid back easy peasy job. Far from it. I'm using all of my skills and learning new ones every day. There are daily, weekly, monthly and yearly deadline that MUST be met. I support many of the smaller ministries within the church, help with fundraising events, track donations and much much more.

Mainly, I create bulletins, newsletters, flyers & posters using MS Publisher. I'm able to be creative and express myself openly and I love it! I still have a lot to learn but it's very gratifying working for God. The Clergy are great ladies and appreciate my hard work. I know that because they TELL me. What a concept! To actually tell someone their doing a great job. Boosts the confidence a notch or two.

I'll be finished my 3 month probation period end of November. Hopefully, I'll get a bit of a raise and work full-time. But, if not, I don't care. I enjoy the people, the work, the environment. If we were rich, I'd probably do it for free!!
