I got a job!!!!

I am so excited to be the new administrative assistant at Papa's Pantry!

I knew that my schedule being so unstructured was not a good thing for me, so I re-contacted Papa's to see if they needed any volunteer help.  I was hoping to get my pantry shift back, but unfortunately, someone was already doing my shift.  I asked Tina, the administrative assistant there, if she could just keep me in mind if any slots needed filled in.  She called me back two hours later and invited me to do the Wednesday shift this week, since the regular person couldn't make it.

I arrived early for my shift so I could catch up with Tina about everything that had been going on for the past 3 months or so.  She asked how my subbing went, and, since we all know how I feel about that, I told her I'm really struggling with what to do with my life and that I do not want to go back to being a teacher!  She told me she was leaving Papa's, for a job that provided benefits, and her last day would be next Friday.  We agreed to keep in touch.

At the end of my shift she asked me if I was interested in having her job.  I said "yes!" and she told me to send Lynne, the founder, my resume.  I went home and immediately sent Lynne my resume and Lynne wrote back saying she wanted to interview asap.  Since I am leaving for Indiana tomorrow for a week, she asked if I could comeback in right then.  So I did.  Low and behold she offered me the job on the spot!

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to be moving into the non-profit sector of America!  Papa's Pantry is also a very Christain based organization and I think it's a good thing to be surrounded by people who believe that deeply.

If you scroll about half way down the page, they have an 11 minute video posted about what we do there.  Feel free to check it out!  I think it gives a real accurate picture of the all around services we offer =)
