One month left to live.

If you had exactly one month left at your job, what would you do?

If I were in that position...which, as it turns out, I am...this is what I would do:

-Etch my name in everything I can afford to. Namely, my desk, the bathroom stall, and in the hearts of the senior missionaries who live in places I may want to travel to.

-Spend the bulk of my paycheck on the cafeteria's chocolate chocolate chip muffins.

-Apply for a new job.

-Amend my relationship with Elder Hales--I mean Elder Nelson!

-Catch up on all the doctor's appointments I failed to make in the previous year. Including, but not limited to, dentists, eye doctors, and plastic surgeons.

-Find a compatible mate by studying people's patriarchal blessings.

-Rig the stacks using paper clips, duct tape, one of those screeching motion detectors, and a tube sock.

-Convince the head conservator to let me see the Abraham facsimile.

-Steal it.

Laura, you're hilarious!

Don't you think etching in the hearts' of missionaries is going a bit far...let's be realistic, Laura. The supplies alone would cost you your last month's salary, not to mention the know how. You got a lot of great traits from your dad but I don't think medical expertise is one of them. Keep me posted.

if you had one month to live, I certainly hope you'd still do your visiting teaching.

Rig the stacks... Who do you think you are, MacGyver? (By the way, if you leave the tube sock in there, they'll know it was you).
