This is NOT what I had in mind for a study break...
So...just a few minutes ago, "Wayne" and "Lisa" from the EC Hall of Jehova's Witnesses decided to come and try to speak the word of God via Isiah 65:15. What was I doing before that? Studying, of course. Applied Microbiology. I have a major exam on Monday.

What bugs me is this: if these two were to visit like they did, say, six years ago-I would have told these people to stuff it. Problem is, though, I have a life long glitch in social skills: given my choice of profession, I now have to practice a great deal of tolerance. Now more than ever. Eau Claire is up to the brim in Xtians. But most important: I can't go around being rude, getting mouthy with my patients, and co-workers. So I had to put on a happy face and act as though I really gave a shit about Satan testing Job's love of God.

I need more coffee.

1. it seems a little harsh
to interrupt studies with preaching. i mean, do it outside in the open. it would be downright rude to walk into the law library here at stetson and start preaching to anyone in the bldg. during exam period even.

2. What's your chosen profession?
I think anyone has the right to set personal limits... Assertiveness doesnt' equate to intolerance. Tell 'em NOT NOW!!!!
