A Job

O.K, so I am ready to start working. I have not had a formal job before, so this will be something new. I was going to wait till I finished taking the CPA, but I do not want to wait another year. Working will give me more structure in my day. I will have to get really disciplined to balance school-CPA review, learning, and a part-time job.
I have to polish up my resume. Luckily, one of my classes made me write a resume, which will be a good springboard for my real copy. My cousin’s wife is in human resources, so I can have her give me some input. This is an important step for me

I was out of town a couple weeks ago for Shabbos staying at a friends friend. They were so nice, making me feel at home. It was a rough weekend, so there hospitality meant a lot to me.

This got me thinking about myself now, and the home I want to have. I am a little upset when having company over, especially if I have to lose my room, or share a room. Having company is a sacrifice, but the weekend made me see how much it can mean to your guest. I would be more open to having guests when I am married I"YH. There is also much you can learn from everyone, and having guests for a meal or Shabbos, is a great way to meet people, and strengthen existing friendships.

It is not only big things like having people over, that can make a difference. Small things like offering someone a ride, or help with a package. When I know what someone needs, I am happy to do it. However, I do not naturally anticipate what other peoples need are. I need to be more concious of people so I can be a better person. Helping someone when they do not ask, shows a much deeper level of caring.

I hear that girls expect you to anticipate their needs. In order to be a better person, emulating Hashem's ways, and to not be suprised with my wife bursting inot tears because I do not love her, I should work on this middah.
