Indexing

I was indexing names today.  For fun, and since I have nothing better to do with my life.  Any way, there was one name that I couldn't read, because it was smeared.  Well, actually there were lots of names that were smudged, but most of them I was able to make something out.  This particular name I could read the first two letters and the last letter.  So I looked up what I was supposed to do with this amount of information.  Since there were multiple letters I couldn't make out I was to use the somewhat standard wild card of *.  This did cause me some concern, since what I had to submit turned out looking like this Sh*t.  to the poor family whose named ended up like this, I'm sorry.

New Month, New Post, more problems.

So this summer has been pretty good so far.  I'm out of work, have $29 to live on until I start working again (July 10), have no internet in my apartment.  Fell into like with a kid in my new ward and had a complete emotional breakdown when I found out that said young man is planning on moving in the fall.  Yeah, I'm not even sure why I admitted that.  My family is going to try to come up for the 4th of July, but I don't think that they will.  And instead of looking for work today I spent 3 hours playing Life with my roommate.  But despite it all, I think that this move has been decidedly one of the best moves ever.  I'm practicing my piano and flute skills again, which have long been neglected.  My right shoulder gets a decent workout every Sunday, I'm on the music counsel and have been the chorister every week since I got the call.  And I've made many good friends, we'll see if they last but for here and now it is a very good thing.
