I pray contentment in your life - - just remember no place is perfect, but having a place to grow, gain experience and receive a good paycheck outweighs the few negatives that could come your way.

I hear ya. One of the things we talked about was my being able to move to their IT department once I get my degree. He said it was definitely a possibility. I was completely honest with him and told him I wouldn't promise him that I would make a career out of working in the call center because I have other plans for my future. He really appreciated the fact that I didn't come to the interview trying to impress him with empty promises. I have a very good feeling about this whole thing and am excited about where this will lead.

There's no feeling like it. Now comes the hard part: Doing your job as unto the Lord, even after the corporate "honeymoon" wears off.
God Bless you.
And remember, Christians can't help but prosper these days, because people who don't lie are in short supply!

Why would that be hard? I've never hidden the fact that I am a believer from my coworkers.

no, no, no. The hard part is to be just as excited about this job a year from now as you are today.

Ahhhhhhh, yes, I can see how the thrill may fade over time. I am thinking about taking a picture of this government funded duplex to put on my desk at work. That way, if I ever get down in the dumps over my pain in the backside job I will be reminded of where it is keeping me out of!
