HELP WANTED: IRISH PRINCESS
Bridget is in the market for a new job. Her unhappiness with her situation reached the point where I could no longer keep encouraging to go to work for a somewhat abusive boss with a labile temper. After 15+ months, I think she has learned a lot about human nature and getting along with people. And now it is time to move on.

I realized just how dreaful her job had become (despite the fact that it did involve some nice stretches of driving around beautiful neighborhoods listening to her choice of CD’s) when I pondered applying for her position myself and arrived at the conclusion that a substantial increase in pay was not worth the emotional wear and tear. Church-lady work is too satisfying to leave behind. (Not that I can convince Bridget to apply for any jobs at church. Or the library. Quote: “That would be great wouldn’t it? I could work at the church part-time and then at the library. I could be a total church/library nerd.” Sorry, Embot, I just quote what I hear. I think working at the library is the next best thing to working at church!)
