@rockabye I remember the mail room being the coveted work-study job at my college. My roommate did it and loved it as well.
It was so much fun.. running around all day, no pressure, knowing the majority of the profs, staff, and students, hanging out with your friends all day, getting rides to class in the mail van when you weren't working, not to mention the constant running around kept my metabolism at an amazing level so I weighed next to nothing! I absolutely would work there again now, even now as a 33 year old that has been out of college for 11 years. One of my old bosses is still there.
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
