Realities of My Job/Life

1) Guitar picks and assortments of screws and nails are equally likely to fall out of your pockets at any given time.

2) Eating the same menu every week gets boring:


3) But no matter what, my reaction before every pulled pork and mac & cheese night is always:
(Note: this is Nicki's reaction as well, often in unison with me)



4) There is a great deal of patience required for this job. Some for dealing with volunteers, some for living in community, but the most for when you get stuck behind a double wide trailer or 2-story tall piece of mining equipment being transported down the (barely) two-lane road.

Probably, but that's a whole different story. Anyways, I just need some recommended titles so I can search the one-room, five-shelf library in Pineville for it.
