Texting in church

I'm sitting in starbucks on my lunch break, so I thought maybe I should update before I get back to the monotony of my walgreens job. I have a little bit more than a week left here and so far, my struggles are still the same. I think that once I start working in pharmacy, it will take me months to truely handle the job, but so far, working as a slave labor tech has been ok. There's been ups and downs, as with any job. One of the best was having a women threaten to come into the pharmacy and ream me out because I supposedly changed her prescription (her doctor actually did, but hey, I'm someone to blame). The senior tech here is my hero, because he does not put up with any BS whatsoever. He reminds me of my boss from my old job at Stewarts, a convienence store in Albany, who would yell at customers when they gave us crap about whatever. I hope one day I can walk away from helping a customer who is cursing me up and down without the risk of being fired like he has. I think I'll make that a goal if I decide to go into retail.

My best friend has come up to SF to look for a job and was actually offered a job on the spot only three days after getting here. So he's permanently set in california and I'm going to spend the rest of my free time helping look for apartments, celebrating his job and just hanging with him. After this, I most likely won't see him until... oh probably the next time I go to california. So sad. I also have not been feeling all too well lately, most likely due to not eating well (I eat nothing but cereal for dinner and yet still manage to gain weight during this rotation), stress and just being all around tired. So I skipped church sunday and institute on tuesday. Plus I had gone to a movie night on friday at the church with this guy McKay (yes, he is named after the last name of a prophet) and I think I freaked him out by being me. Ah well. I try. I'll probably go to church this week since it will most likely be the last time I go to church for at least 2 months, since I will be heading back to albany after this. Our subject in RS will be on that talk Elder Oaks taught in gen. conf. about sacrament. The problem is, I started laughing hysterically half way through his speech because he was talking about texting and amusment during the sacrament. I'm sorry, but I always texted in church, even during my bout with the evangelicals. Sometimes, prayers don't have to be as long as it takes to pass the bread and water around the congregation and then your stuck just looking at your feet until the bishop says go. So yes, I text, and I make fun of the stake presidents during their speeches because they are so boring. And the missionaries and I shared some good laughs. I think the Elders are being a little too uptight about some stuff. But hey, what do I know. I'm just a convert.
