1. I ended up wearing two hats at church this past Sunday. I'm signed up for coffee hour cleanup all four weeks that my hospitality team is working (which means the last is April 12), but I had previously told our DRE that I was available to do one-off fill-in jobs if she needed me, and she emailed me on Friday to ask if I could be the RE Host for April 5 since it was her week off. And since the two jobs didn't conflict temporally (the one being post-service, while the other is pre- and during-service), I said sure.
Which essentially meant that I stood around at the garden entrance, greeted people, and handed out pamphlets. And then I ended up helping adults make temporary nametags, since there wasn't a hospitality team greeter at that door for a significant percentage of the time, and when there was, said greeter kept getting sucked into conversation and thus missing the arrival of guests. I also ran around to the two workshop classrooms and took attendance, but that was stupidly simple since only seven kids came to church and they were all in one workshop. (Egg-dying and seed-planting beats learning to play the ukulele, apparently...) I guess everyone else was visiting relatives or preparing for Easter egg hunts somewhere else. *shrug* So it goes!
Easter is not really a go-to-church holiday for UUs, though Christmas still is. I am not entirely sure what makes the difference.

2. Today I stayed an hour late at Not the IRS, since Hill Boss had car trouble and couldn't get to work for the afternoon and evening, and we need two people in the office during all official working hours. I may only be a receptionist, but that still counts as a person. *grin* Randomly, the final client of the evening was somebody I know from church; we were co-teachers a few years ago. I recognized her as soon as she walked in, but I couldn't place her -- I thought at first that she might have been a smoke shop regular -- until she mentioned church and thus gave me the right context.
I am working very nearly 35 hours this week, which is weird after being unemployed/underemployed for so long. I am out of practice at this!

3. My second batch of peppers started sprouting on Monday. I was not expecting them to do anything until Wednesday, so that was a pleasant surprise. I will try to post pictures tomorrow.
(Okay. Technically later today, but it's still Tuesday until I go to bed. *nods firmly*)
