I started a new part-time job this morning

[honeywolf7]

I'm the secretary for my church (I've been going since the Thursday before Easter.) I am the only person employed by the church other than the pastor so I have a lot of duties, but I get paid very well for a secretary and I really don't mind having a lot of responsibilities. I enjoyed my first day on the job.

That sis great. I am glad you enjoyed it.

I used to be a church secretary too! But not for the church I belonged to (Church of the Brethren), but for the Presbyterian Church in town. They hired outside their church as they thought it would be easier to fire someone who wasn't a member. I never thought much about it until more than 6 years later, and the current pastor (the pastor when I started there retired, and they had three interim pastors before finally hiring a new full-time pastor) fired me. No warning. And the Monday before Christmas to boot!! He was weird to work for though. I'd had a great working relationship with all the other pastors, and they each gave me glowing yearly-reports, but not this one. I have to admit it hurt when he fired me, but I took great satisfaction in seeing "secretary wanted" at the Presby church in the local newspaper every 3-4 months for about 3 years!!

But anyway! I hope you continue enjoying your job. I enjoyed the work immensely, but back then (8 years ago) the pay was only $6.50 or $7.00 an hour. I started waitressing almost 7 years ago, and the pay is much better so getting fired actually turned out to be a good thing, I'm much happier now!!!

Is your boss the one that bought you the drink at the club on Saturday night?
