Somethin' Cookin'


To make a long story short... I was laid off last Wednesday and started my new job at Cook Medical this past Monday. I am a brand copywriter for the Urology division. I have a desk, right across the hall from the bathrooms. I keep telling people that this helps me research my work. While I'm not sure of the full scope of my duties, so far it has included writing copy for medical periodical advertisements, copy for product launch books, copy for product datasheets - pretty much anything that deals with Cook brand urological products, I will be writing the copy. I'm not even through my first week at Cook, but I am excited for the possibilities that working there might present. The position is temporary for now, filled coincidently through Employment Plus, but would hopefully turn into a permanent position. The work allows me to get back into writing – which is a plus, the facility is beautiful and the people are friendly – they even make sure to invite me to eat lunch in the cafeteria with them (yes, Cook has its own cafeteria that serves breakfast and lunch for really cheap). God has been so good to me (and Emily). His timing on this was an amazing blessing; He didn’t even give us time to worry. We’re so thankful for everyone’s prayers.
