Office Grind

People often ask me, "So, what do you do at the church?"

I get to work at 9:00 (if you round by 15 minute intervals.)
I check the mail (if the grass is not to high or dewy.)
I listen to voicemail (unless the phone is blessedly silent when I pick up the receiver.)
I read through emails (MOST of them are professional, anyway.)
I answer the phone (and random questions such as: what is so-and-so's phone number; where does Mr. Such-and-such live?)
I call various hospitals (for updates on members who are visiting for some reason or another.)
I update ACS (our church directory.)
I proofread the bulletin (for every prayer service and Sunday Morning/Evening service, adding and taking away announcements as needed.)
I type up visitor letters (copy and paste is my best friend.)
I change the order of service (and make up powerpoint for the Sunday morning songs.)
I copy, I print, I cut, I fold, I call, I speak, I sit, I walk, I greet.
I eat lunch at 11:00 (early enough so my boss can take her lunch when I get back.)
I go home at around 4:00 (or later, if my day is super busy.)

These are my days at the church.
